PDRC #5 & High School #3 At Pacific Raceways

Posted on June 5, 2013 by admin

Motorcycle racing among the PRDC members is quite intense. They are always helpful to lend a hand when needed, they laugh and joke around. But when it comes to action on the starting line, it’s time to crush and win no matter the other lane occupant. This is Wednesday drag bike racing.

In-between the motorcycle rounds the highschool class was also enjoying the thrill of downing the other lane’s contestand. For such young racers their skill on the drag strip goes beyond their years. Included in the mix were a number of test and tunes, and liscensing drivers provided pretty much nonstop racing.

In the HS class first time winner and #1 Qfy. Jessica Biscay got the win when Jacob Hjorten ran too quick.

Jor Lind used a better reaction time plus being closer to his D/I bested Jim Zevenbergen in the MC class.

Import Face Off At Pacific Raceways

Posted on June 2, 2013 by admin

Back for it’s yearly event at Pacific Raceways the Import Face off began a little after the time set as overnight and early morning light rain had the track crew working hard to dry the track surface. With record holding cars on the grounds, a well prepped and dry strip would go a long way toward more record attempts. Hundreds and hundreds of cars packed Pacific’s grounds and pit’s. As the racing came to a conclusion the attempt at a new record came just a tick short.

National Dragster Challenge, Junior Dragster #2 & WSCA #1 At Pacific Raceways

Posted on May 18, 2013 by admin

Somehow this race day fell in line with a movie line I heard years ago. “Endeavor to persevere”. Those words fit everyone involved with this race day from the racer’s who could not race, to the track crew who repeatedly had to dry the track. With just enough time to dry the track, and to get cars to the line, then run a pair or two, it would rain again on the track. Mother nature’s spring weather at its best, doing what it does to ensure the beauty that the northwest has, and for it to stay that way, though her timing does not mix well when traction is your goal. When Mother Nature realized that today no one was giving in she let up and let the racing begin, and continue to the end with no interruptions. At the end of racing the winners were:
JR. Thunder saw Selena Leninhan outlasted the field and Josh Schmanke.
In JR. Lightning Sierra Rohr beat Bianna Lindsey.
Former track champ Jake Havens running a better package edged Jim Funderburg in the motorcycle class.
Adding another statue to his many others Don “the worm” Elgin earned when Nick Douglas broke out in the sportsman final.
In a battle of wheel standing Pro class cars, Jeff Warnke’s Nova when world champ Brad Burton went to fast.
Another breakout in SuperPro by Steve Beggerly gave Jess Dale the win.

WINNERS –

Frank Nelson Sr. (1937-2013)

Posted on May 13, 2013 by admin

It is with as sad heart to announce the passing of longtime NHRA Northwest Division Six racer Frank Nelson Sr. I met Frank in the mid 1980’s at then SIR, and Frank helped me shape the direction of my photography. His large and powerful hand on your shoulder had a way of steering you in the right direction. I will surely miss him, but never forget how he helped me. My condolences to his family in time of sorrow. – Jim Doyle
