Brian "BIG B" Westerdahl
|
I was born December 24,
1952 in Spokane, WA. I have lived on an Apple
Orchard all my life and am presently located near Brewster Washington.
I have one brother living in White Center, WA and
one sister living in Brewster. I married Cathy in 1973
and had two children. My son Jason in 1975 and daughter Amber in 1977.
I bought my
first Race Car in 1976 with the advice of close friend Ed Tradup. Our wives
worked together in the local Warehouse packing Apples in 1975 and we
have been close ever since. It was a
190" wheelbase Dixon chassis front motor dragster. "Man!"
That was
fun. We went from a stock 350 with carb. to a 500 cubic inch Big
Block injected with Alcohol. This went on for 13 years, 1976 thru
1989. I sold it, that was tough. In 1982 I started helping Thomason
and Tradup Racing when I could as my job wouldn't let me go all the
time. I ran a 1500 acre Apple Orchard for 13 years, 1976 thru 1989.
I bought my own orchard in 1982 and still farming to this day;
Cherries, Peaches, Apples, total of 175 Acres. We still live to this
day 1/2 mile from where my mom was born in 1918. In 1989 when I
started working for myself, I then could spend more time on the race
cars. In 1996 we built another race car, a Lakester from scratch.
Two pieces of 2x4 Tubing on the floor was the start. The Danny Boy
Too was in the finish. All this time I was farming, and raising two
kids. |
