Winter Practice Tree Series – January 18th, 2014

Posted on by

Winter Practice Tree Series 1-18-2014 04018 Jan 2014 Kent, WA – With the mid-way point in the Practice Tree Series upon us, it was time for a differant winner to show themself. As in the actual use for the tree, it’s hard to repeat wins but in order to repeat you need to practice.

The BIG differance here is the fact that you are about 10 feet away from the tree at your table with food and drink, something that is not even close to reality in dragracing.

In this setting at The Sports Page, it gives a more relaxed atmosphere with alot more side by side ribbing and most definitly a chance to match reactions with someone you do not normally get a chance to. As dragracing has shown that sometimes father’s race daughter’s, sibling’s race sibling’s. Husband vs. Wife?

That is a story on it’s own merit, as I know it happens from time to time, but it has to be special when it does. This night turns out wife got the better of hubby in the semi’s but in the end they were both in the money.

The next race date is February 1st, 2014,  at series co-sponsor TMS Performance & Dyno Tuning located in Auburn, at 1929 West Valley Hwy. So., Auburn, WA

See you there 9:00am!

High Performance Sport Driving Day At Pacific Raceways – January 4th, 2014

High Performance Sport Driving Day 1-4-2014 52504 Jan 2014 Kent, WA – Roadcourse driving is all about following a “line” to obtain your fastest time and speed. The other factor is the weather. You get to drive in all weather conditions.

Rain,snow, etc. Of the weather that “will” stop any driving on the course the three main one’s are “hydroplaning”, “lightning”, and “ice”.

The latter was the case for a short time during the practice day. A short time with a torch and broom cured the issue allowed the day to begin. This type of issue is only one part of what the instructors and Pacific personal check for before anyone attempts to lap the 2.25 mile track. Safety first is always the first order of business. Kudo’s to them. Sound intrusting to you? Check out Pacific’s website to check for the next HPSDD.

Fall Moto GP Series At Pacific Raceways – January 5th, 2014

Posted on by

Fall Moto GP Series 1-5-2014 04205 Jan 2014 – Kent, WA – This re-scheduled event turned out to be a very wise move. Though it pained MX manager Lance Smail to do so in the end it was all about “safety”.

Today there were no issues with weather induced conditions. Sunny and cold is something that can be handled. Those who raced in the previous event raced in a counterclockwise direction at a length of about 3 miles.

This time riders went in the” opposite direction”. If you thought you knew the course from before, no – there were new challenges and obstacles to overcome.

To have the chance to improve your riding “skills” this has to be the best of anything you could incounter on the MX bike. Knobby tires are made for dirt, sand and even in snow with a little traction aid added. This time of year the cold temps harden the ground and will create icy surfaces, put this with ashpalt to ride on and it got the attention of all rider’s. It was quite a challenge to test against.

The Pacific Raceways property is perfect for this type of event, and I am sure more of these events are being planned. Stay tuned.

Winter Practice Tree Race Series 1-4-2014 014As word gets around about this series going on, more and more are realizing that it is more to it than your reaction time.

First it is a chance to keep sharp what you need for the racing season. In that group you now have person to person updates on what is new or plans for your racecar.

Put this now in a “sports” orientated establishment. Every seat has a view to a TV screen, even “outside” playing the current sports programing according to the “season”. Now add to this “food”. With a menu that has all the bases covered and a “steak” dinner special that can be had anyday now makes for a recipe for a out to dinner time. Joe and his crew will take care of you for food and drink as you watch and practice on the tree. Check out the” Sports Page” website for dates or go to Pacificraceways.com for info.
