Race organizer’s claims that the Suicide Race is a rite of passage is absurd. The Suicide Race was the idea of an Omak furniture salesman and Stampede publicity chair looking for a way to bring people and dollars to the small town. It was not a tradition for the 12 tribes that make up the Colville Confederated Tribes.
