Swift Tools ET Series Event #8 at Pacific Raceways

Posted on by

Swift Tool ET #8 7-12-15 04212 July 2015 Kent, WA – Day two of the back-to-back Swift Tool ET Series.  The overcast skies had a muggy feeling for a while, then the clouds parted for some sunshine to bask in. For the racers it was a chance to keep cool in the cars and hope the tune up was on for their run.

Dialing in the hundredths is knowing your car and yourself as this racing is about being constant in what you are doing.   There were 150 or so racers going for the four different class wins and the points that go with it.   All looking for a spot in the ET Finals in Boise over Labor Day weekend.

Images of the day are now online and available , broken into two sets of images and albums – click on the Series A link for the 1st album, and the Series B link for the 2nd album:

Porsche Club Day At Pacific Raceways

Posted on by

Porsche Club 7-10-15 16110 July 2015 Kent, WA – For the second of three events on the schedule Shay and her band of Porsche club members took to Pacific Raceways 2.25 mile track for a day of lapping.

Starting in the morning with a drivers meeting that everyone must attend the schedule for the different classes was laid out and awards for various deeds were given out, then they are off till noon for a lunch break put together by BigFoods.

Then off again till cutoff time when the track changes from a road course to a dragstrip – though for eight hours these fine cars took advantage of their track time each time they are here.

Check Pacific’s web site for the next time they are here.

Jr. Dragster #8 and Car Club 7-10-15 12510 July 2015 Kent, WA – Time to earn points is getting closer and a gathering of 26 trying to gather the most to boost their standings for a trip to Boise. Always a great time watching the Jr’s and their families interact and support each other, a great way to begin the future stars in drag racing.

The competition was intense and it ended with hand shake at the end for a great race, you cannot beat this kind of fun. In between rounds for the Jr’s Car Club ran another in their series of races.

With a wide range of cars in the club a spectator has a great view of mostly street legal cars racing safely.

Final Day of 27th Annual NW Historics At Pacific Raceway

Posted on by

SOVREN 7-5-15 13905 July 2015 Kent, WA – The last day for the Historics weekend ended as it began, “HOT”. The temps were well above normal and everyone was after the same thing, shade and liquid. It had to be the perfect time for a cool suit as a driver all in your protective gear suffers from the heat that comes from a race car.

For those watching the umbrella for shade and no rain seemed to be the perfect fit.  Since all of this was for Seattle Children’s Hospital all felt strongly that the heat was just something that happens when you are doing things for a good cause.

I would much rather see those seeking shade than protection from the rain.  Great job by the SOVREN leaders and their cast of volunteers for a great event for a greater cause.  It was an amazing weekend!

This last batch of images makes the total for the weekend just over 2,500 images, broken into four albums.  Please take a look, and your purchases are greatly appreciated!!

27th Annual Pacific Northwest Historic At Pacific Raceways – July 4th, 2015

Posted on by

SOVREN 7-4-15 16804 July 2015 Kent, WA – When the SOVREN group gathers for their weekend of racing at Pacific Raceways it is more than just racing. Fund raising deals of all kinds come together for Seattle Children’s Hospital and what those funds can do.

The silent auction at the end of the day had many an item to bid on. For the Pro3 drivers they added a deal for a donation you got a chance to ride around the track in a just short of race speeds side by side with the other cars. By the number of cars in the pack they did very well for Seattle Children’s Hospital.

 

SOVREN 7-4-15 258Add to this the many car clubs that add to the totals by bringing out their members for a drive around the track for their donations. Pretty cool all the way around for a very good cause to help Seattle Children’s Hospital.

It was warm and sunny all day – click here for the images from Day 2 of the 27th Annual Pacific Northwest Historics Event at Pacific Raceways.

ProFormance Racing School – July 1st, 2015

Posted on by

ProFormance Racing School 7-1-15 01301 July 2015 Kent, WA – The students at school today brought their daily drivers to see how it would hold up. Never fear as the school and the teaching methods are as safe and up to date as can be. It really makes no difference if you are in a Porsche or a Jeep you get the same attention.

It is all about you and how to handle in a safer manner than before you started the class. Bringing out a freshly built car this auto body guy has put together had to be a thrill bringing to life what you put together yourself. Another young guy is following his father who drives a Porsche on a race team has proven himself on the kart track already, way to go Ben!

Just two of the many who come to the school for the safest way to drive your car fast and most of all safe. Check the website for info on upcoming dates.

Images from the sessions today are now available – click here to go to the photo album. And thank you for your support and purchases!
