4-Stroke Racing Series – Dec 27th, 2015
27 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.

Happy Holidays!
Final High Performance Sport Driving Day of 2015
19 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.
Starting 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.
From See It Imagery to those involved “Great job this season” and till next year “Happy Holidays”.
Toy For Tots – NW Toy Drive at Pacific Raceways
06 Dec 2015 Kent, WA – Each December the Pacific Raceways property plays host to some very generous people. The annual NW Toy Drive benefiting Toys for Tots. Sponsored by Lexus of Bellevue and the O’Brian Auto Group thousands of folks brought their un-wrapped gifts or cash donation for the Marine Corps Reserve program.
Combine this with holiday music covering the many cars out for the car show gathering. Out on the 2.25 mile track a “lead/follow” was done, overseen by ProFormance Racing School giving those who take part an idea of what it feels like to drive a road course.
Of course Santa and his helpers were on hand accepting gifts and posing for pictures, also on hand passing out candy canes was Ed Troyer from the Pierce County Toys for Tots program.
Every year that I have covered this event it has gotten bigger and bigger thus proving the generosity of the NW to those in need. Great job by all those involved as it takes many to help bring it together each year. Till next year Happy Holidays to all.
