What a great final day of racing! Ben Salo made it into the finals on his last chance of the week. He then managed to win again to claim his second title. There was a lot of car trouble on the final day, but that didn’t stop any of the fun. Hopefully everyone had a good time.

What a wild day on the track, those pigs are out of control. We had another one get loose on the track again. He was trying to hide under the trailer. We eventually wrestled him down.

The action continues tomorrow night at the fair. Hope to see you all there!
Pictures added:
Pig N Ford Races start tonight, so head down to the Tillamook County Fairgrounds to catch the action. We will also try to get the results posted tonight and with pictures, if possible.
The Pig N Ford racers will be sporting their cars over the weekend at the Garibaldi Days parade. The parade starts at 11am, so if you want a sneak peak before the Tillamook County Fair, you better get up there early.
I have added the photos from the event. It was a rare hot day at the coast.
We have setup a new site, so that we can stay closer to the action and keep the fans more up to date.
