The 2013 road course season kicked off with fog and light rain, not uncommon for this time of year in the Northwest. More than a two dozen drivers tested themselves against the 2.25 mile track surface, a surface that will change early this spring as re-paving on parts of the track is in the works.

With the number of entrants and a 9-5 PM session, the drivers were able to do many laps during the un-timed sessions. Instructors were on hand to teach those who are new to the track showing the right line to follow around the course.

The 2013 Road Racing schedule is up now at Pacific Raceways Website: http://www.pacificraceways.com/RoadRacing/2013Schedule.aspx. The event today was the first opportunity for some seat time this season and it may prove to be quite helpful during the racing season.
