GRINS AND GRIMACES The "mug shot" has become part of the Badwater pre-race ritual. Sign in. Get your goodie bag. Get your number. Up against the wall. Aside from the frequent jokes comparing the process to standing for a police line-up, I think the mug shot tells you a little about the frame of mind. The worriers look worried. The happy go lucky are grinning. The experienced have a look of calm. Of course, they could all be kidding. But I don't really think so. Well, I suppose you could blame the photographer, but it's a pretty rote process once you get going, and we hope you enjoy following along. You can't tell the players without a program! |
