Mere l rag Weekend Southern Rodeo Finals To Feature Bull Chariot Race One of the extra added attractions of the Southern Rodeo Finals will be an excit ing Bull Chariot Race. This will be an exhibition contest only and not a part of regular competition. The ev ent will feature two fighting Bulls each hooked to a Special , Built Chariot. The Bulls are placed in the Bucking Chute and each of them has a padded saddle with a ball type trailer hitch in the middle. The Special built Chariots are hooked to the hitch in such a manner that the bulls have complete freedom of move ment. They can run, jump, kick, or move in any direction. The object of the contest is for the Chariot "drivers” to coax their cantankerous ani mals across the finish line at the far end of the Arena.' After crossing the finish line the drivers must then trip the Quick Release which separa tes the Bull from the Chariot and then scramble to safety— which is sometimes a task more difficult than winning the Race. The Rodeo will feature eight competition events; Bareback Bronc Riding, Calf Roping, Saddle Bronc Riding, Cow-' girls Barrel Racing, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping, Wild Brahma Bull Riding and Cow _ girls Goat Typing. The "Keynote” of the entire rodeo is “Total Family Enter tainment.” The Rugged con test events are spiced with colorful feature performers, clowns, special music, and spotlighted production num bers. Performances are syn chronized to run approximate ly 2>/i hours including a 15 minute intermission.
