SOVREN Spring Sprints At Pacific Raceway

Posted on by

SOVREN 26304 May 2014 Kent, WA – In what could be called their home track Seattle based SOVREN made their first visit of the season to Pacific Raceways 2.25 mile road course.

This brings some very vintage race cars to test them and their drivers to race for points towards a possible championship season. Under perfect weather conditions some of these race cars can fly, though this weekend “Mother Nature” and her cohort “Murphy’s Law” tested everyone involved.

On and off rain sometimes in “buckets” kept the track surface soaked and brought the lap times way down from normal. This fact pushed some of the racer’s to err on the side of caution and not “test” the laws of nature in these conditions and they left early, and that fact caused a change in plans for the SOVREN officials.

Officials got together with the racers and formed a plan for a shortened race day. Putting safety first, no sense in risking vintage cars to the weather. Visit SOVREN.org for info on results and upcoming events.

MX Friday Nite Series At Pacific Raceway

Posted on by

SOVREN 68602 May 2014 Kent, WA – Being a multi-use venue Pacific Raceways did just that Friday with the road course and the MX track operating for a while at the same time. It was smooth running all night though and it was all about the opening night of the Friday Night MX series.

Once onto the property you quickly noticed the parking has been improved, making for better access for the rider’s rigs. The next and big thing is the track layout. In an ever evolving bunch of improvements MX manager Lance Smail and his crew has been busy moving dirt and in the process created a viewing area for the spectators.

After going thru an end-to-end shipping container and to a fenced elevated mound you can see the entire track no matter where the rider is on the course – impressive to say the least! With more improvements coming, you can bet on a challenging track and better comfort for the spectators. Stay tuned.
