8th Annual Bus Roadeo showcases driving skills
Wednesday, October 5, 2011
The Roadeo is an annual event where celebrities from the OSU and Stillwater communities
get an opportunity to test their skills behind the wheel of an OSU Transit bus on
a closed competition driving course. The event also serves as an opportunity for OSU
Transit operators to compete against one another for the opportunity to represent
OSU at the State Bus Roadeo in November. The winner of the OSU Transit driver portion
of the Roadeo was Jim Henning.
For the celebrities, the event began with a quick tutorial of how to operate the
bus and then a drive through of each of the course challenges. After the five minute
lesson, celebrities got behind the wheel to give the course a try.
Other celebrity drivers included: SGA Vice President Kyle Buthod, 2nd place winner;
SGA President Ashley Leonard, 3rd place winner; OSU President Burns Hargis, the O’Colly’s
Thad Ayers, and KOSU’s Ben Allen.
