From Article "Enthusiastic boosters of the all-terrain vehicle whimsically suggest that it could even be the answer to the nation's jammed highways.

Unfortunately, the Police seem less enthusiastic when you try and put this into practice.

Great article, interesting find.

That's a great article. Anyone who ever met Dexter "Dutch" Shultz will remember him as one of the great characters of the sport. I was just a kid, but he impressed me enough so I still remember. I've seen the article before, but I'd have no idea where to find it- great to have a link to it! Thanks.
