Community member, Grant Miller, volunteered again to chair the 4th annual truck races which were held during intermission of the Combine Demolition Derby™. It was another enthusiastic group who traveled from Benge, Dusty, Garfield, and Lind. We hope that next year's race will be bigger and better.

Lions Club member, Eric Lund, added to the race excitement with pickups. They came from Harrington Mattawa, Garfield, Pasco, Warden, Fossil OR, and Big Timber MT. This event has added a lot of thrills and excitement to the weekend, and we look forward to seeing them again in 2009. Special thanks to
Adam Lamberd of 97ROCK for the great job announcing the races.

To participate in the event is easy. Just get yourself a pickup or truck, 1970 or earlier, make some common sense safety adjustments, find a helmet, a fire extinguisher, faster your seat belt, wait for the starting gun and hang onto your hat!! These events are definitely crowd pleasers!



Good job, Grant and Eric, and thanks for all your hard work.

Check out the following series of pictures. Driver, Josh Houck, rolls to the side. Note all the help that came to his aid. Didn't take long and Josh was back on his four wheels. We were all thankful that no one was hurt! Beautiful photos, thanks to Stephen McFadden, Ritzville Journal
