On my annual trip to the Prineville, OR (Crooked River Roundup) races in mid-July which run from a Wednesday thru Saturday, I usually extend my trip by one day to drive up to EmD on Sunday. The track is typically very-well attended, so arriving even 30-45 minutes prior to the 1st post means parking far away and about a 15-20 minute walk to the track entrance. The past few years they had food trucks on Sunday, which were a nice addition.

About a year or two ago I heard word that EmD was considering some support to help some of the class C tracks in the Blue Mountain area resume racing, because it would help racing in the state of Washington. Not sure if there is still any interest, but I would love to go back if racing were to ever resume.

For those who have never heard of the Blue Mountain racing circuit, it consisted of Sun Downs (still runs 6 days a year), and tracks Walla Walla, Waitsburg, and Dayton, which have been dormant now for about 5-6 years.
