This happened at the 1958 State Championship Drill in Amsterdam. This is how Newsday covered it.
It is also covered in the History of the Rough Riders topic on this site.
Wilbur Young from Oyster Bay (the driver mentioned in the article) was a great racing man. In the late 60's he was gracious enough to teach the Roadrunners how to run buckets the correct way. Until that time it wasn't an event that we gave much thought to. His instruction helped to turn buckets into one of the Roadrunner's best events and elevated the team to the next level.
