Fred Brownfield memorial race Part 2!

Hey everyone meet Benson on the right, this is Gonzo's new brother. They have soo much energy and got the beagles all worked up. Bailey really doesn't like her Butt sniffed and Lucy wasn't quite sure haw to handle the power of the Puggle!

Here are some photo's of the camp area at the track, Food, Food And more Food!

Below the gang took the carts and bike over to the small track to take in some quarter midget racing!

Mrs Bebee and Mrs Benjamen, looking chipper. What will they look like after the party that night? Hangover or sunshine?

The gang on the cold steal, man those seats SUCK! If you are going bring your pillows, blanket and seat cushions.

For now, Monte

Brownfield Memorial race weekend.

We have not missed one of these races and I thinks that this was the best action filled Brownfield race to date.

This is Dad kicking back before the races in camp PATCHES!

We had Greg Biffle in the owners both right behind us. He bought one third of the Gray's Harbor Speedway and has brought a new series to the track, it's a new breed of modifies.

Greg saying HI!

The Biff sighing a autograph for some of us!

We had some great modified action and the Biff had four of his own cars driven by his nephews.

We took a ride over to watch the quarter midgets run on the small track, this was cool!

Lucy taking in some quarter midget action!

Here is the gang watching some action on the small track!

We had several bad flips and even had a hour pause in the action to wait for the EMS to come back to the track after taking the three drivers to the hospital. All in all the racing was fast and close. The new track surface was super to race on. The best part was having family and friends to tailgate with.

For now, Monte

We are home!

We started out at the Zion National park. We spent the first afternoon trying to cool off, it was around 106 deg. The beagles had their tungs on the ground it was sooo hot!

Then off to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, it was breath taking to see this peaceful place.

Then it was off to Bryce Canyon another place that took your breathe away!

Then from there to Denver to see family and spend the July 4th. It rained 2" in 20 minutes that night along with thunder storms, gods light show! From there it was off to Montana. Just a few weeks ago they had a golf ball size hail storm that messed up the truck and 5th wheel. I took photo's of the truck but not the trailer. Below is the damage done to the Winnebago after going over the Columbia river at Vantage in a high wind storm. The cost of this is going to be over $8,000.00. Just this Monday Doug & Dawn in the same spot, received wind damage to their 5th wheel coming over the Columbia River bridge. Mother nature has not been kind to our family's and RVs.

I guess if we still have each other and no one was injured, that's all the counts, YOU Think!

For now, Monte

Wagons East!

Here is what was right next to us in the campgrounds heading to the Montana. Eight deer eating behind my motor home.

 

This was breath taking view for a look out point along the road.

Flash Back Friday!

Here is some photo's of my late Casey. She was super smart and loved to play with the tennis ball. She was adopted from the shelter and was great dog. We miss you Casey Dog!

She's taking over eveything!

While Bailey is guarding the house Lucy's sucking up to Steve. Bailey is the one that is usually the one one Steve's bed.

On this afternoon I was looking for the dogs and found Bailey upstairs on the chair and Lucy wasn't with her. I got to looking around and this is what I found, a trader. She had gone to the dark and cold side (inside joke). She was in watching TV with her uncle on the bed. Lucy is truly this Alfa dog in this house, LOL!

Flash Back Friday

Here are 2 picture of Grandpa & Grandma Young and another of the 6 brothers. I believe the brothers picture was taken at Terry's work in Buckly, WA.!

Flash Back Friday!

Here is a little bit of local racing history. This was uncle Darrell getting ready for a trophy dash race in 1974 at Port Angeles Speedway in Washington State. Man these cars looked heavy, one big hunk of steal. Some of the best memories have come while sitting in the stands on the weekends watching the number 12 race around the track, bumping, pushing and sometimes spinning out of control. Who can forget the smell of the rubber burning off the tires, that is one of best smells to a young kid dreaming to race someday, LOl!

Goodbye Uncle Ross

Uncle Ross and his sisters.

Uncle Ross and Aunt Vi.

Uncle Ross and my mother.

On Tuesday my uncle Ross Arnold died in southern California. He was full of vigor and fight. I really enjoyed his war stories, Life stories and how he had done it all. I guess if you have lived as long as he did you just might have. I had come to know him better while he stayed at my parents home for a while. I know that God's got his hands full now, LOL! We will miss you Uncle!

Family in Spokne Valley

Wind Turbines on Vantage hill over the Columbia River, I love this green power!

My uncle Terry, my brother Steve and Cody installing the new Cooling unit that we had made in Post Falls, Idaho.

Here the beagles are passed out after a long weekend in the Spokane Valley visiting Family! This is rare that they sleep so close to each other. They usually don't like to touch each other while sleeping,

Hey, don't take my pitcher I just woke up!

We spent the weekend at Lake Sylvia. Had a great time with family and friends. The Beagles were having a super time. The fish were kind of small, but it was just a relaxing two days.

Later, Monte
