JEFF MANGUM/The Daily News NO SLEEPING HERE:
Above, the Lake Havasu High School Lady Knights sprint for the finish at the
Great Oatman Bed Race Saturday in Oatman. At top, the Extreme Mini Rails
Team pushed hard but came in last. They said they didn't actually lose, they
were stepping aside so someone else could win. |

The Daily News
OATMAN - Teams of people in bathrobes and shower caps, red hats and
superhero costumes raced down the main street of a small historic mining
town on Saturday during the 17th Annual Great Oatman Bed Race.
With a
first-place prize of $100, nine teams competed for fastest time by wheeling
a team member in a rolling bed across a short track, making the bed and
racing back toward the finish line.
A team of hospital employees took first place in 40 seconds, while an
off-road tour company came in last in 103 seconds. |

Team captain Jeff St. John of the Extreme Mini
Tours team said the scars on his leg are from last year's race - when he
rolled off the bed after a sharp turn and had to get stitches. And although
it appeared the team had no better luck this year when they finished last,
team members joked they weren't really defeated. They were stepping aside -
out of modesty - to give others a chance to excel.
