Doctors & Nurses at ProFormance Racing School

Doctors and Nurses 6-2-16 (73)02 June 2016 Kent, WA – Quite the different heading for a motorsports venue but those two professions are but just two of the many that it takes to perform a heart operation. In particular children’s heart operations as the men and women that work with the Children’s Heart Center are a very big part of “The Heart of Racing” team.

Doctors and Nurses 6-2-16 (156)A major part of that team is Don Kitch owner and operator of ProFormance Racing School located on the grounds of Pacific Raceways. On a suggestion from the team owner to Don to set up a day when those professional men and women could come to the school and experience to a degree what the racing for charity is all about.

Of the people that go thru the school this group has to have a leg up on the others. Understanding and knowing the precision it takes to perform on the operating table can be translated to the precision it takes to circle Pacific Raceways 2.25 mile track. Yes, there is a lot of precision involved in being a race driver as seen on TV when the precise mark is not hit things mostly do not end well.

For the men and women here today who all did some pretty good lapping times and no doubt may come up while in the operating room getting ready to do some very precise work on very precious heart.
