As you know, America’s Most Badass Volvo Station Wagon is a proud resident of Bernal Heights.
Driven competitively by the Bernal Dads Racing Team in the 24 Hours of LeMons racing series, “The Whale” is currently en route from Bernal Heights to scenic Shelton, Washington to compete in a weekend race at The Ridge Motorsports Park.
Yesterday, as Neighbor Stephan dragged The Whale into Oregon for the first time, Bernalwood received unconfirmed reports that Oregon governor Kate Brown had ordered the distribution of mandatory tetanus shot boosters for all residents of the Beaver State:
Now on its third engine, second transmission, third hood, fourth bumper, third pair of front fenders, second electrical system, and second windshield, The Whale will roll at The Ridge this weekend to bring honor and glory to all the peoples of Bernal Heights. Maybe.

What’s under the hood in that badboy?
Under the hood, a lot of empty space and a bone-stock Volvo motor of unknown provenance that was pulled from a junkyard.
What type of racing???
Endurance racing on a road course. Most laps over two sessions totaling about 15 hours wins.
Interesting. Have been involved in drag racing for 50 years. Was a partner in Half Moon Bay & Cotati Drag strips fore ten years. Also drove Top Fuel & Super Stock cars.
Good Luck.
