This weekend, Friday January 16 & Saturday January 17th, 2009, members of the PNW4WDA will be holding barrel races as part of a Monster Truck show at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma Washington. As you can see from the 2009 schedule, most of the races throughout the year tend to be in fairly remote locations, making them pretty private; This race provides a unique opportunity for the general public to see these unusual jeeps. To the right is a link to a myspace video shot last year by a spouse of the racer (I assumed it was from a spouse considering the ‘dumb ass’ comment heard in the accompanying audio).
Here’s a link to a TON of pictures from 2008 Tacoma Dome races on the Moonshiners’ Jeep Club website (though lots of dark and blurry ones too 🙂 ).
Bummer..I’ll be at the show the 18th…… I caught last years barrel races though.
The barrel races were very entertaining to watch. The crowd really seemed to enjoy them as well.
That’s great to hear!
On the downside, did you hear about the chunk of metal that flew off of a monster truck and killed a 6 year old boy. I’m not sure if it was before or after Friday’s barrel races …

Yes i heard about that…. Tragic…… It would have been mostly after friday’s barrel races I think. They usually end the show with the freestyle competition. I believe it happened during freestyle.
