<p>GOLDENDALE -- This motor-sports-crazed city is gearing up for its annual Festival of Wheels.</p>
<p>The three-day event features a wide array of loosely connected wheeled events, including lawnmower dragsters, four-wheel-drive competitions, live music and bicycle rides.</p>
<p>It comes just two weeks after the city hosted a downhill skateboard and street luge championship.</p>
<p>Schedules and locations vary on Friday, Saturday and Sunday around the Goldendale area.</p>
<p>One of the highlights of the weekend is the “Outlaw Lawn Dragsters,” riding lawn-mowers souped up to go 60 miles per hour. Also, tricked-out dune buggies and pickups will climb boulders up to 10 feet tall at the rock crawl playday.</p>
<p>Elsewhere are motorcycle rallies, dirt bike races and live entertainment.</p>
