08 Mar 2014 Kent, WA – After a couple of attempts in previous weeks to get a test and tune on the drag strip without mother nature interfering this day had some racers eager to go down the track. Bikes, trucks, and cars came to the track to get their first chance at the track.

A beautiful afternoon the day before enabled the track crew to get the surface prepared for the early season test and tune. The crew dragged the track and applied traction compound, then finished the prep for a 9:00am start. As anyone in the northwest can tell you the weather in late winter/early spring can change quite rapidly. Such was the case this morning as a total of seven passes were made down the track before a very light rain halted everything.

Not that it was raining hard but in combination with the temperature as the rain stopped that temperature prevented the evaporation of the water to dry the track surface on the shutdown area. Safety first will always win over any other when it comes to any event held at Pacific Raceways. Till next time.
