Yakima Speedway Is Reopening In July With Events

An end of an era will officially come in January, although the writing is already on the wall.

We're helping to get the word out, so none of them get shot down by irate citizens...just kidding!  But it will probably be the most drones you've seen at one time so far.

Oil's well that ends well. Well, not quite.

I feel the need, the need for SPEED! At least, go kart speed. Fast Track is about to open again for the season, and we're very excited! Kids and adults 9 and up (and at least 54 inches tall) can get their race on in the Columbia Center parking lot...

We're so used to having an exciting and eventful week of unlimited hydroplane racing in the Tri-Cities, it seems 'strange' when other areas in the Northwest struggle with staging a similar event. But that's the case on Lake Coeur' D' Alene, where for the second year in a row, a large unlimited racing event slated for July  has been cancelled.

According to West Pasco residents and regular commuters, the stretch of I-182 between the Columbia River and the 20th Ave. Exit in Pasco has been a problem for a number of years, some calling it a 'racetrack.'

The Meneely family of Kennewick was at the Los Alamitos race track in southern California this month with their two race horses. One horse won $900,000 and the other won $800,000!

We all know of Miller Brewing Co's involvement with NASCAR.  For decades, they sponsored Rusty Wallace in the famous Blue Deuce (#2) car,  and won dozens of races.  Brad Kezolowski on a Cup title a couple of years ago in the car, and both men drove for Roger Penske.

One of the greatest attractions of the Columbia Cup is hearing the unmistakeable growl of an Allison or Rolls Royce Merlin or Griffin engine on the river.
