Drag racing in Woodburn

We raced this weekend in Woodburn...They have a big JR dragster Wally race on Saturday, although they let the big cars race also, and then on Sunday it's the All Ford Dragrace/Show/Swapmeet. Doug got perfect light on Saturday! He got stickers for his car & also a t-shirt showing that he's in the Perfect Light Club.

Riley went to the quarter finals on the Wally race, but went out first round during the regular et race & the Run Tough race. She was having major car issues...first she fouled a spark plug, then fuel filter, and then had a flat tire, and finally her clutch driven broke into pieces...by the time we're done it will be a new car!

Here's Michelle's camera bag. It contains video camera, digital camera, cell phone, me, and sometimes Gregg's camera...and on this trip the chargers for all of the above. Saturday the temperatures had to be almost 100 degrees...not good for us Coasties. Thankfully, our hotel had a swimming pool...our first stop after the races.

This was the first time Doug has run a 1/4 mile track. He broke some stuff also. Day one he broke his driveline...it was changed over to his spare. Day two he broke the spare driveline-Gregg & Dean patched one together from the broken two, his starter...again had to be patched together since we didn't have a spare & couldn't find one, and the thing that did him in was his tach broke & he didn't know where to shift. We gotta teach him old school and how to listen to his motor to know when to shift.

Today is Riley's 11th birthday, so a special shout-out:Happy Birthday Riley!
