ProFormance High Performance Sport Driving Day

Posted on January 29, 2017 by admin

29 Jan 2017 Kent, WA – The event was postponed from last weekend, and we had much better weather day for some lapping around the track. It was dry around the 2.25 mile track, but the chill will take a few laps to get the tires up to temp then that chilly air will bring the engines alive.

For those who came out to run the track the smiles told all, they were having fun. On the property also taking advantage and using the paddock in auto-cross fashion was the UW Department of Mechanical Engineering, who brought out their projects and laptops for some testing.

A closer look shows all kinds of designs built into their test car (they have two) with data gathering points all over. Well in excess of 100 points taking the time to look close. No close in pics were allowed to give away their thoughts.

Watching them run the course a number of laps then checker the drive to come in, then watching the crew surround the car with probes and tablets taking readings and logging the information was really no different than any other race team out for a test session. It was great to see them again and can’t wait till next time they come out to test.

Images of the action and a few distant shots of the UW Engineering programs are now available – click here to go to the photo album.

The next track day is Feb.4th check info on the ProFormance Racing School website.

PNSCA Awards Banquet

Posted on January 21, 2017 by admin

21 Jan 2017 Kent, WA – The annual awards for a season well done is the big deal – no matter the class it is what you strive for at the beginning of the season. The Super Comp group is a very close knit bunch that has a lot of fun together on and off the race track.

Bring them together for a good meal and awards will bring out the laughter and joking that they share with one and another, that is until the helmet goes on then as it goes its game on.

For the third season in a row Dale Green has been a machine claiming yet another championship. DG Machine is of course his business and that attention to detail translates to his racing operation and himself. Congratulations to Dale and all the other racers getting awards for their accomplishments this past racing season.

Images of all the fun, the trophies, and the rest are now available. Click here to go to the photo album.

Pacific Raceways Awards Banquet

14 Jan 2017 Kent, WA – Time to gather and give the champions their due for besting the rest in 2016. Fathers, mothers, family and friends all got thanks for their support from the champs. This is of course every bit a family and friends sport.

Watching everyone just being themselves enjoying a great meal while trading updates on their racing operations generates the urge for the racing season to begin and for all the winner’s the urge to repeat.

Images from the banquet are now available – click here to go to the photo album.

See you at the track and “good luck” to all in your quest to pick up the goods at next year’s “Winners Banquet”.

4-Stroke Racing Series At Pacific Raceways

Posted on January 8, 2017 by admin

07 Jan 2017 Kent, WA – 08 Jan 2017 Kent, WA – Put money on the line and contenders for it will come out. Today the LO 206 class of 4-stroke karts came out to claim some.

The first hour of practice saw the “slicks” running on the karts but just as it came to an end the rains came and so did the mad scramble to change tires. Three heat races had no change to the weather so the “rain” tires put all on the same playing field.

A lot of great “side by side” and “nose to tail” competition looking to claim that first place cash. In the end the buck did stop fittingly to Mason Buck in the top spot with Stepanova Nekkeel in second and Monroe Jordan third place on the podium.

Over 400 images are now available. Click here to go to the photo album.

Look for upcoming dates on the PGP website.

1st High Performance Sport Driving Day of 2017

Posted on January 7, 2017 by admin

07 Jan 2017 Kent, WA – Jumping into a new year will bring new resolutions; one good one is to become a better driver. If you’ve got a 2017 Mustang, or a 1999 Porsche and a 20707 Vette, there is not much in common past “nice cars”. The commonality is the driver’s, all three taking the driving class at ProFormance Racing School to better pilot their choice rides.

Pretty smart in the resolution department choosing to learn from some very qualified instructors led by Don Kitch. Putting this program in your back pocket is a bang for your buck that is worth every one of them. It really makes no difference what you drive it will pay to go thru it.
