\"DSC_3379\"<\/a>22 August 2016 Kent, WA – Continuing on from the hot weather the Pacific date for the NW Division 6 qualifying began.\u00a0 Along with the division race the sportsman finals from the NW National rain out was on the docket and a whole different set of conditions to deal with.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3122\"<\/a>As for the reminders about staying cool and hydrated, it was everywhere. Bottles of water were in hand and a cool towel around the neck. Also seen where more \u201cbumpershoots\u201d than on a rainy day in the northwest. Having endured the heat on Friday and Saturday, Sunday the marine cloud layer brought out the coats and sweatshirts much to the joy of all.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3306\"<\/a>Now all the data gained in the heat is out the window with as much as a twenty degree drop from the previous days. In the heat Saturday though the sportsman finals were run and Chuck Glanz took the Top Dragster class and local racer Brian Phillips home the Top Sportsman \u201cWally\u201d in Super Stock, second generation racer Cody Lane added to his trophy case, also up from Tigard, Or. Steve Laskowske grabbed the Super Gas win and from further away Jerry Denton from Tempe, Az. will long haul the \u201cWally\u201d from Super Street and what had to be the best winner after over four decades of racing Tory Lea got his first \u201cWally\u201d running in Super Comp.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_2591\"<\/a>Congrats to the National event winners now on to Sunday. As mentioned it felt good to have a jacket on and no umbrellas in sight. There was great side by side racing as the best of the division went rounds as the temp rose to a very comfortable shirt sleeve day. For those in the stands it could not be better soaking the sun and racing.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_2497\"<\/a>In what had to be the highlight even before the finals for the division race began is local history. I know it did not happen on the same day as normal finals at a NHRA event nor did it happen on the same date but under the heading \u201cProtect The Harvest NW Nationals\u201d class winners list will be father and son Jeff and Cody Lane from nearby North Bend.\u00a0 None the less it is rare indeed for a father and son to win at the same national event; great job you two and your crews.<\/p>\n

Also ahead of the list Jeff can claim winning a National and Divisional \u201cWally\u201d on the same day. On to the winners with a great big \u201cThank You\u201d to Pam Gorman for keeping my info straight:<\/p>\n
