More Evergreen State Fair

We had just entered the fair through the White Gate when we came upon the Clydesdale horses that had just finished a performance.  This coach caught my attention  because it reminded me of the Budweiser commercial. 

  

 

 

Motorcycle Racer Killed At Evergreen Speedway

One day after we enjoyed figure8 racing and a demolition derby at Evergreen State Fair, a tragedy took place when a speeding motorcycle lost control and hit a school bus during a two bike drag race.  Ed Ritter, 41, the rider died in the crash. The Seattle Times reports that it was the first fatality at the track in 10 years.  The school bus along with a number of other school buses of various sizes was used in a hilarious figure 8 race the previous evening.  There had been some breathtaking near misses, but don't remember any buses crashing.  Another rather dangerous figure 8 race involved cars pulling an empty boat without a trailer, many cars did hit boat as figure 8 involves an intersection where speeding vehicles cross. 

Saturday Night Figure 8 Races In Monroe

We went to the Evergreen State Fair to watch the figure 8 races. The races are exciting because the shape of the track forces cars to intersect in front of others causing collisions and breathtaking near collisions.
