WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 2018 SPEED Continued from Page A10 Tri-Cities, who took over promotional duties ear- lier this year. They’ve since brought in drivers from as far away as the East Coast. Erb, Coe and their sons race under the name Team 123. This year, Jeremy and Shade are sitting behind the wheel, while their fathers work in the pit crew to ensure every race runs smoothly. “My earliest memo- ries are of my dad’s races,” Shade said. “There’s noth- ing better than the smell of burning fuel and rubber, and the people at the tracks are incredible. I love all of it.” Now into its fourth decade, the Monte Carlo has never run better. It looks something like the Intercep- tor that Mel Gibson drove in the Mad Max films — lean, mean, and jet black. A name hasn’t been officially agreed upon just yet. Shade likes “Black Betty” while Coe prefers “the Murder Carlo,” but Jeremy’s idea might be the most accurate: “The Big Black Bear.” The engine ignites with just the press of a big red button to the right of the steering wheel, and the car roars to life — it sounds like more like a bear charging down the raceway than a car. “It has a soul,” Coe said. “It’s absolutely amazing.” The car is outfitted with logos from their local spon- sors, including U.S.A. Subs, Diamond Eye Performance, Humbert Tires, Pendleton Floors, Marv’s Glass Shop, and Eastern Oregon Con- tracting. A decal in mem- ory of Carter, who has since passed away, can be seen behind the rear window. Team 123 has enjoyed a successful season at the Hermiston Raceway this year, with Jeremy and Shade winning four of their eight races thus far. “It’s been our greatest season yet,” Coe said. Jeremy and Shade are currently in a three-way tie for first place, sitting atop the leaderboard with a total of 844 points. The team has since become a fan favorite at Hermiston’s events — after a win, Jeremy and Shade will drive the Monte Carlo up by the grandstands and let kids take look. They also hand out Team 123 stickers and T-shirts. “This year’s been a good experience for them,” Erb said. “It’s the boys’ turn to have fun.” The team still has a handful of races left in the season, with events being held every other week- end at the Hermiston Race- way off Highway 395. Four more races are scheduled for this year, with the next one being held this Friday, August 3. “You always get nervous before a race,” Coe said. “We want the boys to be safe and be able to load the car up in the trailer in one piece. It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt.” Jeremy and Shade hope to keep the family tradition alive for as long as possible. “There’s nothing like it,” Jeremy said. “I want to do this until I can’t anymore.” The burning passion for racing found within Team 123 has served as a strong foundation in keeping their families close. “We’ve never been closer as a family unit,” Coe said. “We love what we do. It’s like getting the band back together.” The most valuable and respected source of local news, advertising and information for our communities. eomediagroup.com HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A11 SPORTS The artistic side of sports “Beautiful Games: American Indian Sport & Art” opens Friday at Tamástslikt HERMISTON HERALD Some of Jim Thorpe’s medals are featured in an exhibition at Tamástslikt Cultural Institute. A member of the Sac and Fox Nation, Thorpe won Olympic gold med- als in the pentathlon and decathlon. In addition, he played professional foot- ball and baseball. “Beautiful Games: American Indian Sport & Art” highlights the artis- tic element of sports. The exhibit features artwork, artifacts, history and dis- cussions about sports and its role in tribal life. It opens Friday with free admission. Tamástslikt is located near Wildhorse Resort & Casino, off Inter- state 84 at Exit 216. Sports have played a pivotal role in Ameri- can Indian tribal commu- nities. Also, many con- temporary sports played across cultures are rooted in traditional tribal sport- ing games. Native games are more than just games — they build body and spirit through exercise and are played by all ages. Many games have roots in ances- tral tests of strength and sport that reinforced group cooperation and sharpened survival skills. Also, Amer- ican Indians occasionally incorporated games into religious ceremonies. Competition teaches cooperation, consensus, compromise and team- work, all of which are pil- lars of indigenous soci- eties. Athletes learn how to develop strategies and solve problems, patience, discipline, perseverance, trust, empathy, respect and control. These games and play are integral in helping AP FILE PHOTO In this undated AP file photo, Jim Thorpe, left, is greeted by a group of American Indians from a nearby reservation in St. Petersburg, Florida.
