Looking Back: Lynde 500

2006.
In it's fourth year the Lynde 500 seemed to settle into itself as an event. Lively, full of action, competition and, most importantly, FUN!

After 2005's flying wheels debacle the Lynde 500 bought all the lawn mower tires in the city of Lynden to keep 2006's race running along!

To quote event organizer and museum director, Troy Luginbill:
"It was a wild and woolly day. Steering went out. Cars slid through the finish line backward."
...and they're ready to race!

"It had it all. Tears. Laughter. Drama."
this is a common sight at the Lynde: confused stares, cars upside down in the pits...
