IRDC Car Tender Challenge X at Pacific Raceways

IRDC Car Tender Challenge 8-1-15 37931 Jul – 02 August 2015 Kent, WA – As the list of entries neared 170 the racers for this weekend’s Car Tender Challenge X the IRDC event was on. Five classes of cars and a lot of fun for all, and, yes, there is the stress of getting things right for the race but the mood is all fun. To see the fun all you need to do is watch the crew that is gridding these race cars.

Greg and his crew are up and down the grid sometimes running to meet the next car to assign them to their correct grid position, and from up above on the lift it is quite a sight to watch. Seeing this from above and the race cars themselves is a sight that I do not get too often and this vantage point is something that whenever permission is granted I will give you that view.

The racing itself is as always hot and heavy. In groups 1 and 2 the largest of entries for the weekend created some great side by side and front to back racing. Sometimes it would be sweet to see thru those dark visors to see the grins on the driver’s faces, priceless I would guess.
