DeLancey St. Underground Bustle Racers in COLOR

The full title is: Ellanore and Gnomess Grinda of the DeLancey St. Underground Bustle Racers. 

"Although the genteel version of this sport is primarily practiced on the public boardwalks, the more adventurous version is to be found under-ground in the old city streets.  The streets were covered over a century ago and have since been used as cheep housing and are the prime locations for shady dealings.

Once a week the corridors are cleared out for the races.  Ladies not of high birth are most common as racers but the occasional high born lady has been seen underground racing.  The tunnels are very hot during the races and most of the girls prefer to do the racing in as little clothing as is safe.

The biggest differences from above racers is that the underground bustles are steam powered therefore they are much faster and more dangerous.  So are the underground racers though, and bruises and black eyes are common in this sport.

It is also the only place that female gnomes will be seen outside of the home.  Not allowed to pilot bustles officially, many a gnomess with an adventuring spirit find their way to the underground to become pilots.  Some Bustle racing enthusiasts insist that they are better pilots than the male gnomes."
