At the beginning of the season, after the track dates are set, racers set out their season plans for race dates.

Seeing a chance to race for five days in a row has to be a big “alert” for  vacation from work. Such is the case for this years LORDS NHRA DIvision Six Series Event(s) at Pacific Raceways.

Looking around the property race teams were packed in at every possible spot. Wednesday’s Test ant Tune had many doing so. Mother Nature took away Thursday. to rain and pretty good downpours. Still four days of racing in good conditions is a good thing.

Packing two races in three days even under ideal conditions is quite the task. Good weather and great track prep gained three new records for the books. Northwest Division Six Director Frank Nelson Jr. and his crew did a masterful job of pulling it off.

Over two thousand images from all five days are now available.  The photos are broken down into several albums, by day, and by event.  To go there, click here.
