The familiar Hyundai Sonata that sets the pace on race nights here at 5 Flags was enlisted to duty on Saturday to set another pace,  The pace car was setting the pace at the annual US Marines Semper Fi 5k run aboard the Pensacola Naval Air Station.

We have enjoyed a long relationship with the Marines...they provide us with help during the Snowball Derby, including the familiar “Drivers start your engines� command.  Hur-Rah.
