do

at
> one of the PVRC-NC monthly meetings a contest name was even suggested:
> North Carolina Road Kill Roundup.

> The structure would be much the same as the PTAC, 20 road kills (that
would

> Chaser that was able to get a sweep in the shortest elapsed time (from
first
> Q to final Q of the sweep) would be the winner.   The top three Chasers
and
