\"\"<\/a>17 May 2017 Kent, WA –\u00a0Mid-week racing again hit the track for the bikes and diesel rigs along with a test and tune for those who wanted to test their rides. Early testing had a dragster running in Super Pro, a car that runs in Super Gas and a fine looking red Pontiac that runs in Comp. All with a different agenda seeking answers to their questions on the improvements they had made. It was fun to photograph!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Running into the night the bikes and their riders paired off in rounds till only two remain. This group that comes out for the mid-week fun is just what it is. They all like each other and help one another when needed; what a great group of riders. Out lasting the field, Chris Benda beat William Nitta for the trophy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the Diesel class Ray Bartroff took out Kevin Jellum for his first win and the trophy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also taking advantage of the test and tune a pair of drivers out to get licensed for some E.T. class racing. Out in a clean looking dragster was Alston Hentges, son of long time northwest racer Mark Hentges. A;stpm made his passes to run in Super Pro in what may end up in the future as \u201clike father, like son\u201d as Mark has a dragster of his own that is much faster than the mid 8\u2019s Alston laid down to earn his license.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In what has to be the feel good about the track came when driving down her grandfather\u2019s BLVD Camerin Lyle completed the number of runs required to earn a license to drive in the Jr. Street class of E.T. racing. Sporting one of Mark\u2019s memory shirts, she donned a helmet and belted herself in and off she went. Her father Rob along for the ride as required by the class to the 1\/8 mi. mark hitting near 70 mph on the pass and of course mother Kim watching from behind taking it all in. Gaining her license now she can legally run down the track with a competitor in the other lane. Helping with this part drag strip manager Ed Garfield drove his ride in the other lane pointing out a few things that she will encounter when racing. For Camerin it will take some time to erase the smile she was sporting at the end of the night and we know her grandfather has a big smile while watching from above.<\/p>\n
