I'd like to see it more often." SOUNDBITE: Unidentified local woman, saying (English): "Cool." SOUNDBITE: Unidentified local man, saying (English): "It's the greatest thing in the world."

SOUNDBITE: Tony Burglum, owner of Drive-a-Tank, saying (English): "Somebody was going to do it with a piece of machinery anyway, so we figured we might as well add some entertainment and show you guys what tanks can do."
