38 nAugust 2016n www.thunderpress.net THUNDER PRESS Turned out the young lady wasn't kid- ding as she stripped down, got on all fours and proved that she really was a professional who was not the least bit inhibited. The woman who eventually beat out all the rest was the classy lass who kept her top on until the very last minute. Holly was obviously the crowd favorite, though it didn't appear that the judges necessarily agreed, so it was a great victory when they acqui- esced and Holly was presented the big check from Lonny's BBQ. The highly-anticipated stunt show was postponed until later in the eve- ning, so many had wandered off but the drunken idiots who like to spit in the eye of danger still found their way out to stand on the tarmac and risk their lives to watch burnouts and badass wheelie guys going all the way up the hill. A couple of riders got so caught up in the excitement that they hopped on their baggers and charged full throttle up the adjacent steep-ass grassy hill, which was almost as much fun to watch as the stunts were. By the time the smoke had cleared and folks wandered back to the stage after dinner there were a few touching moments shared with the crowd. Doug McCauley, who was a Kiwanis member, owner of Riverview Productions and organizer of the Redwood Run for years, passed away recently and his fellow club members provided the gathering with a little background and a slideshow before offering a toast in McCauley's name. That was followed by the news that the lady who has led the charge to keep the Redwood Run alive would be stepping down from her role as a volunteer organizer. Danielle Whitmore Young has dedicated herself to the biker party for the last fi ve years and had asked to be paid for what has turned into an all- consuming job. The board members chose to deny that request so the future of the run is back to a tran- sition stage as Kiwanis members sort out the next step and continue on. It's our suggestion that we take the initiative and let the club know what we're interested in seeing hap- pen with the future of the run.
