\"\"<\/a>Most of the racers at Bremerton Raceway are accustomed to large class turn outs and close competition all of that is a given.But 2012 is a bit of a different story and a more \u201cracer friendly format\u201d as if Bremerton wasn\u2019t \u201cfriendly enough\u201d. The new format involves a lot of opportunities for racers to \u201cearn their stripes\u201d or in this case trophies and cash in two different formats almost every weekend. In 2012 a racer can come through the gate on Friday and race the Friday Test and Tune and Grudge Drags.<\/p>\n
