Spanaway Raceway. Figure 8 track. My father-in-law and I would sneak beers on the fold up chairs and watch from the grass area. I loved doing that.

I hung out there occasionally and really felt bad for Ivan.

Speaking of monkeys what about the two that hung out in the Java Jive tavern...

Cant remeber their names but they jumped all over when the guy played the organ.
