Wanted to pass along to you the following email from Carla Heath of KRKO 1380’s Northsound Racing show:

“Northsound Racing, the only radio show dedicated to the coverage of the racing scene in the Pacific Northwest is gearing up for it’s 100th show, and that requires a party!

Join us for a live broadcast on August 19th, from 7-10 pm, at the Cactus Moon Saloon, located at 717 128th Street in Everett.

We’ll have giveaways, cars on display, and beware, if you’re in the building, we might put you on the radio! We’ll honor the drivers, teams, sponsors and racetrack personnel from all the tracks in the Pacific Northwest, all the people that have made our show unique over the years.

It would be an honor to have you join us. It’s sure been a privilege to do the show!”

Note: You must be 21 or older to get in.

Carla and Steve Mortland have graciously had me on their show a few times, and I had a lot of fun and learned a bunch. Those two have forgotten more about racing in the Pacific Northwest than yours truly will ever know.
