I am working tonight. I will be getting off working, cleaning up and headed down to Goldendale. (My sweetie driving for safety). There is a bunch of crazy stuff going on down there including some sort of Goat event at the fairgrounds. Oh yeah the details are:

Klickitat County Fairgrounds. It is $18 per night, which includes water and electricity. There is a dump station available at the site. You can call Tanya at 509-773-3900.

Cool, thank you Danny. I am realy looking forward to the lawn mower races. Heck anything that goes 0 to 60 in under 2 seconds is fun. It looks like my has some business in the morning so everything is kind of up in the air right now. To tell you the truth I was hoping to meet some familar faces or at least know if there was going to be another TD there.

There was only 3 TD's there in 2006 and about 3 larger vintage trailers. Later on one of those egg looking trailers with the gull winged doors and a local TD with a galley on the tongue arrived. I had a good time and there were lots of people asking questions about the TD"s. Everyone received a participation award with a picture of their rig. That fast food place is in this photo, good food. Bring a small heater just in case it gets real cold like in 2006. I froze my tail feathers off and had to preheat the teardrop with my Coleman lantern. Danny

But that's just for two seconds - that's heavy blinking, not racing.

You want to see the 12-hour endurance race run by the British Lawn Mower Racing Association. I kid you not - there really is a British Lawn Mower Racing Association and they run proper races - the video on the home page is good for a laugh. There's not much you can teach those guys about drifting....

I guess it's what floats your boat.
Watching guys go around a track looses my interest real fast .
Watching one on one drags down Main street is a lot more fun... for awhile. Danny

I went to Goldendale and got to the fairgrounds about 10:30pm friday night. No one else was there. I was under the impression that we may not have space at the fairgrounds. Spent the night and used the showers, yep that was nice and then went into town and watched the lawnmower drags and car show. It rained in the afternoon so we left town to go see the rock crawling and came back home. Wished some other tear droppers were there. But hey now I wanna build a lawndragster.

If you want to see other teardrops try the next event as there are at least 2 going that I know of.
It's about 25 miles south of Portland, OR.
We still arn't sure if we can make it. Danny
