19 Nov 2016 Kent, WA – The High Performance Sport Driving Days have begun on the legendary 2.25 mile Pacific Raceway road course. Open to all who would like to run their ride around the track like those today.
Only one car that could be called somewhat a race car was on hand; all others were daily drivers. On that note today’s production cars have some pretty good get up and go under the hood.
A light sprinkle was just enough to irritate your wipers but lasted only a short time then gave way to some great driving weather for the afternoon. The great thing about the program is the weather, the driving conditions will change and the experience you gain driving can be your own depending on what you are looking for.
The safety factor is pressed hard at the driver’s meeting with corner worker’s keeping an eye on what you are doing. Drop your wheels off the track and you will be black flagged to come in and talk about what happened and why. Driving beyond your abilities shows up on the actions of your car and they will stop you and correct it, remember “safety first”.
These are the dates for the HPSDD this winter:
December 3rd and 17th
January 7th and 21st
February 4th and 18th
March 4th
