27 Feb 2016 Kent, WA – As the start of the 2016 road course racing season at Pacific Raceways is about to begin race teams need information. Thus serious testing has begun on Pacific’s 2.2 mile road course.

55 cars turned out today to run lapping and of those a number of them were race teams out for a shakedown. On the track was Lamborghini, Audi, BMW, Subaru, Toyota, Dodge, Corvette, Jeep, Honda, VW and the Porsche team.

I’m sure I missed some but you get the picture, when the driving days come to the track you can see all kinds of car makes and models. Add to this the 13 students going through the ProFormance Class so they too may join the others in lapping Pacific’s 2.25 mile track.

Go to Pacific’s web site for more information on the next date.

27 Feb 2016 Kent, WA – When Pacific Raceways and The Sports Page set the dates for the Winter Practice Tree Series this date had nothing special set for it. That all changed last weekend when Kenny O’Keefe’s race car was destroyed in a garage fire.

The ’69 Chevelle has been Kenny’s race car since the mid ‘80s. This was his baby and to lose it all at once is a hard hit for anyone to take. Pacific’s racing “family” is large and ready to help when someone needs it and this night became Kenny’s night for that help. Tonight there was a donation jar and all the cash from Pacific was donated to Kenny. Toss into that a raffle for a bike put together by Kathy Mahoney of “The Sports Page” adding to the Kenny Ka$h jar.

Somewhat lost to the night is the fact that Carl Thorsett doubled up again on the nights races. Congrats to him and a big thank you to all those who came out to support a long time Pacific racer and his quest to get back to the burnout box and beyond.

Added note: Carl Thorsett’s Pro Tree winner picture provided by Bracket Stars and from Sandi O’Keefe a big thanks to all those who helped raise over $1000 and a growing Go Fund Me site.
