Hermiston Speedway, Hermiston, OR May 18, 2019

Opening day of WCVR racing season! Woot Woot!! 18 beautiful vintage cars joined together at Hermiston Raceway – a track our club has not raced at in several years. Friday was cold and windy, but we got our practice and our potluck!! Saturday was beautiful and a good time was had by all before the wind and rains started again late evening – after all the racing was finished. Welcome new cars and new members! David Skyberg has his new #13 up and running, Bob Pike brought his new #70, New member Dave Twyman with #31, Matt Stevenson came down from Penticton to drive the BWR X Car, Wes Helgeson in Marv’s #8 and Frank Volz Jr., in Mel Eayrs new #2. Many thanks to Greg and his staff at Hermiston. Friendly, welcoming staff and they ran a good show. For those of you who have not been to Hermiston, I would encourage you – a lot of work has been done. The opening ceremonies included a Memorial Lap was held for the late Clay Smith.
