4-Stroke Racing Series – Dec 27th, 2015

4-Stroke Series 12-27-15 44827 Dec 2015 Kent, WA – The end of the year marks the halfway point in the 4-stroke series and a much different set of driving conditions then the last race. It was cold and dry to start the qualifying, slick tires to start – though by the end there was a mad scramble to get a few laps on the rain tires.

That light rain soon changed to a snowy mix with more snow then rain giving the drivers a little extra to contend with though a “wiper” for the visor would have been quite handy.   Later, the snow was long gone as the warmer rain took over lasting the remaining heats at least giving the racers some constant conditions for tuning.

Making the best of this race and conditions saw young Mason Buck rise to the top of the podium with Ricky Arnold grabbing second and Kyle Wick picking up third.

HPSDD 12-19-15 25119 Dec 2015 Kent, WA – As 2015 comes to an end so does the schedule laid out many months ago by the Pacific Raceways staff. ProFormance Racing School gets the nod hosting the final event of the year, and the use of the 2.25 mile layout.

HPSDD 12-19-15 134Starting out the day the “lappers” got going while the “students” got their first of many classroom instructions provided by the school. As the students went thru their exercises the lappers made their rounds watched closely by the Lost Mines Safety Team and their turn workers. “Safety First” before anything as Race Rescue is always present just in case.
