I was on my way to the 2025 KDDA Season Championship race at Thunderbird Stadium at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds.Driving from Tacoma to the Scatter Creek Rest Area on 09.12.2026 (Rainy Night Drive) MVI 0302Edsel Corsair2026-09-14 | Driving from the ARCO service station on Pearl Street in Tacoma, Washington to the Southbound Scatter Creek / Maytown Safety Rest Area on Interstate 5 at Mile Post 95 between Olympia, Washington and Centralia, Washington on Saturday, September 12. 2026 while on my way back from the 2026 Kitsap Destruction Derby Season Championship at Thunderbird Stadium at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds in Bremerton, Washington. Rainy Night Drive.Driving from Bremerton to Tacoma on a rainy night. 09.12.2026 MVI 0301Edsel Corsair2026-09-14 | Driving from the Kitsap County Fairgrounds in Bremerton, Washington to the ARCO service station on Pearl Street in Tacoma, Washington on the evening of Saturday, September 12, 2026 on my way home from the 2026 KDDA Championship. Sadly, the battery went dead just as I was getting off the freeway so you do not see the ARCO in this video. (I have not watched this yet so I have no idea how much you will actually be able to see. The image on my camara did not look great,)Driving from Silverdale toward Thunderbird Stadium on 09.12.2026 MVI 0300Edsel Corsair2026-09-14 | Driving from the Kitsap Mall in Silverdale, Washington toward Thunderbird Stadium at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds in Bremerton, Washington on my way to the 2026 KDDA Championship on Saturday afternoon, September 12, 2026. Sadly, the camara battery died on Tracyton Boulevard before I got there. Having to wait at those 2 long red lights certainly did not help.Driving from Port Orchard to Silverdale on 09.12.2026 MVI 0299Edsel Corsair2026-09-14 | Driving from the St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Store in Port Orchard, Washington to the Kitsap Mall in Silverdale, Washington via the SR 16 and SR 3 freeways. Recorded on Saturday morning, September 12, 2026 while on my way to Thunderbird Stadium. KDDA 2026 Championship.Driving from Gig Harbor to Port Orchard on 09.12.2026 MVI 0298Edsel Corsair2026-09-14 | Driving from Bingham Drive in Gig Harbor. Washington where I stopped to change the camara battery to the Dollar Tree in Port Orchard, Washington on Saturday morning, September 12, 2026. I was going to go to the St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Store in Port Orchard on Bethal Road however it was not open yet so I drove down to Dollar Tree. (I did not record the short drive back to the Thrift Store.)Driving from Tumwater to Gig Harbor on 09.12.2026 MVI 0297Edsel Corsair2026-09-14 | Driving from Taco Bell on Trosper Road in Tumwater, Washinton to Burnham Drive in Gig Harbor where I stopped to change the camera battery before continuing on to Port Orchard, Washington while on my way to Thunderbird Stadium for the 2026 KDDA Championship. I actually was able to get Hank FM 101.5 out of Seattle tuned in while in the Taco Bell parking lot so, unlike the previous video, this one has radio. Sadly, my camara quit just as I was getting on the freeway so I did not include that first 2 minutes here. I restarted the camara about 30 seconds after it shut off so you will not get to see me pulling out of the parking lot or entering the freeway on ramp. One good thing is that, unlike last year, the Narrows Bridge was not fogged in this year so you can actually see it!Driving from Toutle River Rest Area to Tumwater on 09.12.2026 (No Radio! :( ) MVI 0296Edsel Corsair2026-09-14 | Driving from the Toutle River Rest Area on Interstate 5 at M.P. 54 to Taco Bell on Trosper Road in Tumwater, Washington on the morning of Saturday, September 12, 2026 while on my way to Thunderbird Stadium at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds in Bremerton, Washington for the 2026 Kitsap Destruction Derby Association 2026 Season Championship Night. Sadly, the camara battery dies in this video even earlier than it did last year, even without the construction related backup near Chehalis this year. Also, sadly, because of the stupid way the radio works in my new car, I was not able to tune in to KITI 1420 AM, one of my most favorite radio stations before setting out and I did not want to dork around with the radio while driving.Driving from Clackamas to St. Helens on 09.06.2026 (Part 3) MVI 0294Edsel Corsair2026-09-06 | Driving from my house in Clackamas, Oregon to St. Helens, Oregon on Sunday. September 6, 2026. Part Three is from the Scappoose Fred Meyer to the Dollar Tree in St. Helens, Oregon and includes a brief tour of downtown St. Helens via the US 30 "Business Loop" that is completely unofficial and uses completely noncompliant Interstate Business shields installed and maintained by the City of St. Helens. Filmed while on my way to River City Speedway in St. Helens, Oregon. (Anyone who wants to see the rest of the drive to the speedway is welcome to view the video I posted last year.)Driving from Clackamas to St. Helens on 09.06.2026 (Part 1) MVI 0292Edsel Corsair2026-09-06 | Driving from my house in Clackamas, Oregon to St. Helens, Oregon via the ARCO on SE 39th and Belmont Street in Southeast Portland, Oregon. Part One is just driving a series of local surface streets from my house to the ARCO where I got fuel for 4.35.9 vs the 4.69.9 that I would have had to pay at the VP Racing Fuels on Oregon 99E in Jennings Lodge near my house. Filmed on Sunday, September 6, 2026 on my way out to River City Speedway n St. Helens, Oregon.Driving from Clackamas to St. Helens on 09.06.2026 (Part 2) MVI 0293Edsel Corsair2026-09-06 | Driving from my home in Clackamas, Oregon to St. Helens, Oregon via the ARCO service station located SE 39th and Belmont Street in Southeast Portland, Oregon to get "cheap" gas. (4.35.9 vs. 4.69.9 at the VP Racing Fuels on Oregon 99E by my house.) Part Two is just from the Fred Meyer on SE 39th Avenue and SE Hawthorn Blvd. in inner Southeast Portland, Oregon to the Fred Meyer in Scappoose, Oregon via Morrison, I-5, I-405 and US 30, where I stopped to change the camara battery and use the can. Filmed on the morning of Sunday, September 6, 2026 on my way to the River City Speedway in St. Helens, Oregon.Driving Home From Work on 08.22.2026 (Part 2) MVI 0291Edsel Corsair2026-08-23 | Driving from the WinCo Supermarket on South East 82nd Avenue in Happy Valley, Oregon to my home in Clackamas, Oregon near the bottom of Theissen Hill on my way home from work on Saturday afternoon, August 22, 2026. (See Description of Part 1 for additional comments.)Driving Home From Work on 08.22.2026 (Part 1) MVI 0290Edsel Corsair2026-08-23 | Driving from my place of employment on Commerce Circle in Wilsonville, Oregon to the WinCo on South East 82nd Avenue (Oregon 213) in Happy Valley, Oregon on my way home from work on Saturday, August 22, 2026. I chose a Saturday to record in the hopes of considerably less congestion and that did indeed work out. (This would have been a VERY boring video if recorded on a weekday due to Oregon's SLOW, inadequate and heavily congested freeways!)
One final note, I SO wish K-Love would fix that stupid issue with their transmitter that causes their signal to pop out at random intervals for 1 - 2 seconds at a time. That issue has been coming and going for months and it drives me up the wall. I listen to talk radio most of the week but there are no good talk shows on the air in the PDX market on Saturday afternoon, I am totally burned out on most other music stations with short, repetitive playlists and neither Outlaw Country Radio 102.7 FM, nor KISN come in well in this area.Driving from Burger King to the Yamhill County Fairgrounds on 08.01.2026 MVI 0289Edsel Corsair2026-08-03 | Driving from the Burger King in McMinnville, Oregon to the Yamhill County Fairgrounds for the 2026 Yamhill County Fair Destruction Derby on Saturday, August 1, 2026. The main lot was full so I ended up looping around the long way to the Overflow Lot down the street. (Easier than turning around again!)Driving from Goodwill to Burger King in McMinnville on 08.01.2026 + Downtown McMinnville MVI 0288Edsel Corsair2026-08-03 | Driving from Goodwill to Burger King in McMinnville, Oregon on Saturday, August 1, 2026 on my way to the Yamhill County Fair Destruction Derby.

Sadly, the car show in the Walmart parking lot I caught a glimpse of driving past earlier was already breaking up by the time I got back to Walmart and Tim Fuller's awesome little Ford Pinto was already long gone. Go check out PNW Demo on Facebook to see some awesome pix of it.Driving from Clackamas to McMinnville on 08.01.2026 (Part 2) MVI 0285Edsel Corsair2026-08-03 | Driving from the Sherwood, Oregon Dollar Tree to the McMinnville, Oregon WinCo supermarket. Was planning to go to the Goodwill Store however they were not open yet so I drove back to WinCo. Video includes driving on the Oregon 18 Newberg - Dundee Bypass, which is unlikely to be fully built out to its final intended configuration in my life time! (Also, I recently heard that the brain surgeons at ODOT are actually planning to put a traffic circle at the junction of Oregon 99W and Oregon 18 near Lafayette! What a mess that will be when everyone has to slow down to 15 mph, especially when traffic is heavy!)Driving from Clackamas to McMinnville on 08.01.2026 (Part 1) MVI 0284Edsel Corsair2026-08-03 | Driving from my home at the bottom of Theissen Hill to the 2026 Yamhill County Fair Destruction Derby in McMinnville, Oregon on the morning of Saturday, August 1, 2026. Part 1 ends with a stop at the Sherwood, Oregon Dollar Tree.Driving from Portland to Astoria on 01.03.2026 (Part 5) MVI 0283Edsel Corsair2026-01-05 | Driving from Burger King in Astoria, Oregon toward the Clatsop County Fairgrounds for the Winter Demo Derby on Saturday morning, January 3, 2026. The battery died before I got to the Fairgrounds. Also, though I stopped at McDonald's in the previous video, their prices where to ****ing high so I ended up going to the Burger King across the street. Their prices were too ****ing high as well but I would rather have overpriced Rodeo Burgers than WAY overpriced McDonald's Cheeseburgers!Driving from Portland to Astoria on 01.03.2026 (Part 4) MVI 0282Edsel Corsair2026-01-05 | Driving across the Megler Bridge on US 101 and on to the Astoria, Oregon McDonald's while on my way to the Winter Demo Derby at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds in Astoria, Oregon on Saturday, January 3, 2026.Driving from Portland to Astoria on 01.03.2026 (Part 3) MVI 0281Edsel Corsair2026-01-05 | Driving from Walmart on Ocean Beach Highway (SR 4, Historic US 830) in Longview, Washington toward Astoria, Oregon for the Winter Demo Derby at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds on Saturday, January 3, 2026.

Camara battery went dead just north of Kalama but I have other videos of the drive from Kalama to Longview if you want to look for them. Also, the douche in the left lane slowed down to well BELOW the speed limit for that WASP in the median near the end of the video. Totally uncalled for!Driving from Tualatin to Orchards on 10.22.2025 MVI 0276Edsel Corsair2025-10-22 | Driving from Tualatin, Oregon to Orchards, Washington via Interstate 5, SR 500 and SR 503 on the morning of Wednesday, October 22, 2025.

(Note that I did not film the short drive between the ARCO service station on SE 39th and Belmont to the Fred Meyer on SE 39th and Hawthorn because such a video would literally have been only about 90 seconds long as the ARCO is only about 3 blocks from the Fred Meyer.

(Note that the batteries in my camara died prematurely at the point where Part 1 video ends. When I saw the camara had shut off, I waited until I was almost to the Sedgewick Road Exit before turning the camara back on, hoping the batteries would last to the Thrift Store.
