Hundreds of Vintage Sports Cars invaded Pacific Raceways this past weekend for four great days of racing action on the 2.25 mile 10 turn road coarse. The event was sponsored by Mercedes Benz of Seattle for the annual Pacific Northwest Historics Series.

Included in the racing schedule were Trans Am muscle cars from the late ‘60s, a 1980 McLaren M29, a 1971 Tyrrell Formula 1 car along with hundreds of classic and vintage race cars. The paddock area was jammed as well with vintage show cars and a manufacturer’s midway. Guest of Honor racing legend Johnny Rutherford signed autographs.

As luck would have it the scheduled racing on the drag strip as part of the NOS Forum Fest at Pacific Raceways was cancelled due to bad weather. However the car show and drifting competition went off as planned.

Let’s hope for better weather this weekend as the Northwest Historics are back for 2012 on the road course!

Spring is finally here!

A record number of cars showed up for Test and Tune #7 on what was predicted to be the best weekend weather-wise of the year so far… No disappointments from Mother Nature; everyone in attendance had fun and made fast laps under beautiful sunny skies, at what has become a “fun happening” each weekend at Pacific Raceways…

Is it Spring YET!?

Supposedly “Spring is less than a week away” no really…

For the hardy souls who ventured out to Pacific Raceways last weekend for the sixth “Test and Tune” of the year it seemed like the middle of Winter… Some rain, snow, winds and yes even sunny conditions tested those we made some fast laps around the legendary road course…
