We used a lot of black and white checkered flags, and had an actual go-kart that would get raced around the field before football games. Later in my school career they finally got an actual mascot costume that was supposed to look like, of course, the race-car driver, but in fact it was just... creepy. I can't find any photos of that unfortunately. <a href="http://21.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp5udbGxo61qz6d7so1_500.jpg" rel="nofollow">A photo of the car.</a> I went to school in Newcastle, OK, and we were the Racers.
