[Shades]

The inaugural Hot Springs Spyder Rally got off to a promising start Thursday with over 300 riders preregistered for the event, which will continue today and Saturday at the Best Western Winners Circle.

Jerry Salluom, president of the Central Arkansas US Spyder Riders, told The Sentinel-Record he was happy with the turnout on the first day.

While the rally officially started on Thursday, Salluom said around 150 people arrived early on Wednesday.

"Today there's been a whole lot more, probably 360-380," he said.

"This is our first one (in Hot Springs)," Salluom said, noting that for a first event, these were "pretty phenomenal numbers."

The rally attracted riders from all over the country with attendees from states including Illinois, Minnesota, Virginia and Texas, he said.

The rally is for Can-Am Spyder riders. A Spyder is similar to a motorcycle but has two wheels in the front and one wheel in the back.
