PGP Amateur Race At Pacific Raceways – Dec 27th, 2014

Amataur Race Series 12-27-14 37627 Dec 2014 Kent, WA – The last Saturday of 2014 put the Amateur drivers around the PGP course. Mother Nature provided the rain part of the “Rain or Shine” operation of the kart track.

Driving in the rain at speed in the most part is helped by your tires and its tread, take away that tread and the traction you had is gone. In a kart it is seat of the pants driving and trusting your instinct on how far you can push the traction you have. I have to think the knowledge you gain from the kart translates to the bigger machines like in Autocross or pure Road Racing. The rain or shine opportunity in the karts are a great way to learn how to control what you have under you no matter what it is.

When it was over Mateo Deleon was the winner, followed by David Cheng in second place, and Angelique Brouard came in third.
