Porsche Club Takes To Pacific Raceways Road Course

Posted on June 6, 2015 by admin

05 June 2015 Kent, WA – In the first of three scheduled visits to Pacific Raceways 2.25 mile track these German exotic cars came out in large numbers. Just about any type of Porsche could be seen running around the track.

Yes there are fast ones but there are also faster ones pushing their machines to the limit of what the driver could handle. This was not racing as most of these cars are quite expensive and the owners want to drive the car home in the same shape they drove it to the track in.

Just good fun lapping around the track getting some fine seat time safely. You can bet a lot of fun to watch and to look at in the paddock. Till the next on!

ProFormance Racing School – June 5th, 2015

Posted on June 4, 2015 by admin

04 June 2015 Kent, WA –

Young to old and everyone in between is a candidate for a class in driving thru the school located on the Pacific Raceways track. The knowledge that you gain far outweighs what you think you know about driving under control. Young class takers out to see if this type of driving will fill the desire to be a race driver someday and the elder folks who are filling a bucket list or just to see if the skills they have possessed in the past are still around. Either way, it is the safest way to go fast and the best way to do it and not get speeding ticket. Check out ProFormance on the new Pacific Raceways web site for info on dates.

MotoX Practice At Pacific Raceways

Posted on June 3, 2015 by admin

03 June 2015 Kent, WA – The mid- week practice sessions brings the riders out for a workout. They have to be in shape to handle the rigors of motoring around the track for a twelve to fifteen minute run. There is plenty of stretching prior to running just to get a little limber, which is pretty common.

The other fact is the practice you get in preparation for the Friday Night Series race. Nothing better than practice for what you are going to be doing no matter what you are doing. Most motor sports learn by the seat of their pants, watching the riders I have to think that a lot comes out of their legs as they are up on them a lot at times. No matter how you look at it if you ride and want to keep in riding shape come out for the workout mid-week at Pacific Raceways

Import Face Off At Pacific Raceways

Posted on May 31, 2015 by admin

31 May 2015 Kent, WA – When you give a call out for the imports to put on a show the owners bring them out for the show. Primed and shined for everyone to see and looking at those looking at them speaks loudly of the popularity of the cars.

There are too many makes and models to list and this fact really shows the how many ways that they can be customized. Add to this the teams that push these cars to the max like Speed Factory and English Racing that laid down some impressive numbers on the drag strip.

With thousands of people filling the grounds the busiest of people had to be BigFoods as the lines to get something to eat were lined up most of the day giving a nod to the great food they serve. Looking forward to the Forum Fest later this month for more of this racing action so come on out and see for yourself how exciting it is.

We would like to thank Breann Ipsen for the car show pics, Thank You.

EF-65 & Junior Dragster #2 At Pacific Raceways

Posted on May 29, 2015 by admin

29 May 2015 Kent, WA – Race number two for the Jr. Dragsters at Pacific Raceways packed the pits. The three classes brought out 25 players in the run for the end of the year trip to the E.T. Finals.

Everyone out tonight was in contention, and all are still within a few rounds from changing their position. This could be in combination with the beautiful weather that brought the Jr’s out for tonight’s race. We all know that they love to drive their cars, clean and shined and ready to run as the Car Club ran their rounds of eliminations.

The family part of the drivers took over, eating and getting plenty of liquids like any other racing groups prepared for the next round.

Jr. Thunder Finals saw Porter Johnson top Aden Short and in the Jr. Lightning it was a battle of the Lewis’s with Devin topping Emily. In the Car Club Nick Douglas edged Larry DeCamp in a near 50 car field.

ProFormance Racing School – May 28th, 2015

Posted on May 28, 2015 by admin

28 May 2015 Kent, WA – Each time there is a ProFormance Racing School session there is a lapping chance for those that come out just to run their car. The range of these cars can be quite widespread. From very expensive sports cars to the everyday driven VW.

Just driving the track in your street car is thrill enough but the real benefit is you will drive away with a better understanding of how far you can push and still be safe. You are not running a race you are learning to control in a safe environment what you drive daily. Better driver here is better driver on the streets. Go through the school and learn even more that you thought you knew only to find out you don’t.

Go to the new Pacific Raceways web site and check out the school tab for more information.

Urban Custom Bikes Race #2 At Pacific Raceway

Posted on May 27, 2015 by admin

27 May 2015 Kent, WA – Race number two of the Urban Custom Bikes Series had pretty much a different turnout in bike riders. Yes there were those that take part in all the series races, but the number of other riders that showed up shows the growing interest in the series.

It’s great to also see the different styles of bikes. Again it’s not how fast you are – it’s how many times can you run the same or very close to the same number. Consistency is the name of the game.

Putting together a bunch of 8.90’s Joe Lind walked away with the trophy when John Plaster fouled.

Want to come out and give it a go check out the new web site at Pacific Raceways.

Posted on May 27, 2015 by admin

27 May 2015 Kent, WA – With the weather getting warmer the urge to get out in it and play hits us all.

The Wednesday night Motocross sessions fit the bill for those that take part in the Friday night series at the track. With small changes that are made each week in the track layout, the rider’s get a chance to practice on it. Now bring out the riders who just want to come out and ride just because it’s fun and it gives you a good workout in the process.

Need some mid-week workout that is not in a gym, come get some fresh air and sweat when you are done with it. See the Motocross tab on the new Pacific web site layout for a date that works for you.

Memorial Day Final of 35th Annual John A. Forespring Memorial Races

Posted on May 25, 2015 by admin

25 May 2015 Kent, WA – With now two full days of racing in the books the focus now goes to the next track. Packing up is always tough as you know the weekend is over and the process of getting ready is somewhat taken over with the fact that you can unwind and catch your breath. This is mostly true for the corner workers along with all those connected with safety, and those workers behind the scenes that put it all together. They all did a great job as I see a lot of it through the camera lens.

A list of the winners as they came off the track are as follows. They all know their class so forgive me for omitting them.

Paul Whiting, Lance Stewart, Pratt Cole, Patrick Byrne, Todd Harris, Michele Abbate, Eric Boucher, Marco Gallaher, Jess Heitman, Kale Swifts, Lansing Stout Jr., Lans Stout, Parker Johnstone, Scotty B. White, Rick Payne, Brian McCarthy, Gary Hickman, Jeff Lederman, Michael Ottis, Edward Lever, Erich W. Joiner, Marc Hoover, Collin Jackson, Roger Stark, Russ Peterson.
