Local racers make Northwest Series’ top-10 list
Florence ATV sand drag racers
Budy Palmer and Gary “Gee”
Armstrong finished on the top 10
list of the 2015 Northwest’s Best
– Top Ten Fastest Racing Series,
which held it’s last race of the
season at Albany Sand Drags last
week.
Eighteen-year-old B and R
Racing sponsored Palmer took
the No. 5 ranking in the 2-stroke
Class, riding his Redline Racing-
built custom twin cyclinder quad.
Racing his 501cc YFZ atv
sponsored by Florence Yamaha
and Fullerton Sand Sports Tires,
Armstrong advanced during the
series from ninth-place ranking
to finish ranked sixth in the
Single Cylinder, 4-stroke Motor
Class. That
result
placed
Armstrong slower than 700cc-
900cc engine size racers but
ranking faster than his 680cc-
870cc competitors.
Palmer’s father, Richard, cam-
paigned a 1080cc custom 3 cylin-
der quad he owns as part of his B
and R Racing group, which took
second-place ranking in the 2-
stroke Class, ridden by Kevin
Tennison of Redmond, Ore.

The “heads up” racing event
draws 30 to 50 west coast ATV
sand drag racers to monthly
competitions to battle for a
position on the top 10 list.
Racers wanting to get on the
list or seeking to better their
position on the list can “call
out” top-10 racers by challeng-
ing them to a race-off for their
position. Armstrong and the
Palmers were called out numer-
ous times during the season and
successfully defended or
advanced their rankings.
“Although motor size and
horsepower matter in grudge
racing like this, our reaction
times at the Pro Tree launch
counts big,” Armstrong said.
“Sometimes one-thousandth of
a second makes the difference
between winning or losing.
It’s racing — anything can hap-
pen. That’s why it’s fun!”
In other sand drag racing,
Armstrong took second place
in last month’s Oregon Off-
road Racing Association Pro
Race at Riddle Raceway.

King Tide Project asks for help of photogs Tryouts set for Siuslaw
Make sure your camera is in
working order and prepare to
visit the coast during 2015’s
“King Tide” episodes. Anyone
capable of taking a picture can
contribute to citizen science
and help to focus (literally)
attention on high tides and sea
level rise.
Through the King Tide
Project, photographers help to
document the reach of the
year’s highest tides, the “King
Tides.” This year the project
takes place during three sets of
extreme tides: Oct. 27-29, Nov.
24-27, and Dec. 23-25.
For the sixth year, the annual
project is being sponsored by
the CoastWatch Program of the
Oregon Shores Conservation
Coalition, Surfrider, and the
state’s Coastal Management
Program, along with local
sponsors.
This is the Oregon branch of
an international volunteer
effort to record the year's high-
est tides. The idea began in
Australia, where such events
are known as “King Tides,”
Sailors
hence the name.
Documenting the highest
reach of the tides tells us some-
thing about areas of the natural
and built environments which
are subject to erosion and
flooding now. It tells us even
more about what to expect as
sea level rises.
Anyone capable of taking a
photograph and able to get to
the coast during the series of
high tides can help by taking
shots anywhere on the coast at
the highest point of the tide on
those days.
These photos can focus on
any feature. Those that show
the location of the tide in rela-
tion to the built environment
(roads, seawalls, buildings) are
especially useful in demon-
strating impending threats.
Subjects can be the outer
coast, or estuaries and lower
river valleys affected by tides.
The ideal photo would be taken
from a location where the pho-
tographer can return later at an
ordinary high tide to take a
comparison shot.
Photographers are also
encouraged to focus on iconic
or easily recognizable locations
and areas where the high water
is impacting infrastructure in
order to effectively highlight
the effects of rising sea levels.
CoastWatch is making a spe-
cial effort to organize photog-
raphers to document the reach
of the King Tides in the vicini-
ty of the new marine reserves
(Cape Falcon, Cascade Head,
Otter Rock, Cape Perpetua and
Redfish Rocks).
Participants will post photo-
graphs online through the King
Tide Photo Initiative website,
www.oregonkingtides
.net,
where project information and
the online submission form can
be accessed. Be prepared to
include the location, date,
description and direction of the
photo.
For more information about
the technical aspects of the
project, contact Andy Lanier,
coastal resources specialist, for
the
Oregon
Coastal
Management Program at (541)
934-0072,or email andy.lanier
@state.or.us.
At the conclusion of the
project, three wrap-up celebra-
tions will be held along the
coast: Jan. 8, 2016 in Clatsop
County; Jan. 15 in Lincoln
County; and Jan. 22 celebration
in Coos County.
Exact locations and times
will be announced later.
At these events the best of
the King Tide photos will be
shown, photographers will be
on hand to comment, and there
will be a special speaker. These
events will be free and open to
all (appetizers are provided
with beverages and meals
available for purchase at the
venues).
For information about the
project, and about participating
in the special effort to docu-
ment the King Tides in the
marine reserve areas, contact
Fawn Custer, CoastWatch vol-
unteer coordinator, at 541-270-
0027, or email fawn@oregon

from 1B
Alyssa Richards. “We focused
on giving it our all while stay-
ing calm.”
After winning the third
match 25-20, Mapleton fell
behind early once again with
serving
from
freshman
Gabrielle Gibney, who helped
bring the Sailors to a 10-7 lead
on eight consecutive serves
that included kills from junior
Olivia Nichol, senior Lauralee
Meyers and Richards.
From there, Mapleton never
looked back, taking the fourth
set and tying the match, 25-15.
“We just kept focusing on
our goal and staying calm,”
said sophomore Alexis Gierke.
Richards opened the fifth set
on a 4-0 roll with two aces. But
the Wolverines battled back,
tying the game at 6-6 before the
Sailors took control.
A kill from freshman
Baileigh
Johnston
gave
Mapleton an 8-7 lead. from
there, Gierke stepped to the
service line, delivering two
aces to help push the Sailors to
a 12-7 lead en route to a 15-11
victory.
The win advances Mapleton
into the next round of
Mountain West playoffs today
against McKenzie.
The match will be held on
neutral territory at Mohawk
High School.
“I’m super proud of our
team,” said Mapleton coach
Jesika Crook. “It’s very diffi-
cult to pull out a victory when
you’re down two games. But
they showed a lot of grit and
Volleyball Club season

Monday, Nov. 23, for girls
ages 15 to 18.
Tryouts will take place at
Siuslaw Middle School from

The club is entering its 13th
season, it is open to all girls,
ages 9 to 18, who are looking
to learn and improve their vol-
leyball skills as part of a team.

times per week from mid
November through April.

Siuslaw School District, the
club uses the Siuslaw Middle
School gym for practices.
Teams play in one to two
tournaments each month, com-
peting against teams from all
over Oregon and Southern
Washington.
These tournaments are usu-
ally one-day tournaments on a
weekend that start at 8 am and
continue into the early
evening. Each team plays an
average of five matches each
day.
This year, the entire club fee
has been reduced to $125 per
player. Fee covers all the tour-
naments, insurance for prac-
tices and tournaments, team
sweatpants and jacket, back-
pack and T-shirt.

ly low because we have some
great fundraisers, like the
Viking Cup golf Tournament,”
said club director Mike Rose.
“We also receive donations
from great service organiza-
tions, like the Soroptimists,
plus all of our coaches are vol-
unteers.
“Many clubs charge $500 to
a few thousand dollars.”
All athletes must preregister
online with www.cevaregion
.org and pay a $10 tryout and
deposit fee. These fees are due
at time of online registration;
only players making team pay
fees to club.
Bring a copy of registration
or $10 and the membership
form to tryouts.
