The Finisher

Oil on Panel 9 x 12 x 1/8 Private Collection

Whether you are first place or last ass, finishing is every racer’s goal, especially at Fairplay, Colorado’s Championship Pack Burro Race. It’s a 29.5-mile high-country course to Mosquito Pass at 13,185 ft and back; as a consequence, a few teams often return well after dark and long after the spectators and race officials have left. This team will earn the “Last Ass Award” for their efforts, a recognition given to the last team at every pack burro race. They will also join an ‘elite’ group of ‘night-certified’ pack burro racers!
