Get Flash to see this video.
Prairie Fire takes to the racetrack and the skies as we tag along for a ride on some unusual vehicles. First we visit racing enthusiasts who fulfill their need for speed by racing souped-up riding lawn mowers. Then we join a group of central Illinois students as they head to Chicago to take part in the human-powered flying machine competition known as the Red Bull Flugtag. And, as part of our Abraham Lincoln bicentennial celebration, we examine Lincoln's years working as a lawyer in Illinois and take a closer look at his personal legal style in the courtroom.
