22 Mar 2014 Kent, WA – Mother Nature did its part this weekend for the ChumpCar World Series at Pacific Raceways historic road course.

Based in California, ChumpCar made its first visit to the Northwest for a two day endurance race. Never heard of ChumpCar? Check out their web site, (www.ChumpCar.com) and you will find this “REAL RACING, REAL TRACKS, REAL CHEAP CARS”.

When they say cheap cars they mean it. $500.00 is the limit for the cost of the car minus safety equipment. With many ways to check the price of used cars and many to choose from it pays to follow the rules and there are many. TCV (total competition value), ACPV (average car-parts value) are two of most watched and documented portion of the series. Keeping costs for racing in check allows for just about anyone to join in and have the time of their life road course racing.

Post race inspections in other major motorsports are done pretty much behind closed doors, not the case here. The top five places are impounded and opened up for all to inspect. Car on jack stands, wheels off, hood up, no chance for any “rules” bending. ChumpCar executive rule #2 says it all, “Don’t screw with us and we won’t screw with you. Just bring a legal car”! After all is said and done all had a wonderful time here, even the few who encountered the mishap end of racing and look forward to returning next year.
