31 Jul 2013 – Kent, WA – For the second year in a row Frank Hawley brought his operation to Pacific Raceways for a “ride along” for elected officals and supporters of the track. Instructors Frank Hawley, Jack Beckman and Jimmy Montgomery wowed those who got the chance for a ride. “FastJack” Jack Beckman in the dragster with Frank and Jimmy piloting the “Firebirds” brought out extremely big smiles as those lucky enough exited their ride.
There are many racer’s across this land who have felt this sensation of quickness and speed, but they are “driving”. Take the wheel out of your hands and any control of the race car and it becomes a whole new ball game. Gear up with all required “safety equipment”, get buckled in, then just hang on. Even though you are “tightly” strapped in, you get to feel how much more you can be pushed into the seat. 99% of adults will never feel this, let alone be just a “rider” in a “race car”. That has to be the ultimate “thrill ride”.
