06 Apr 2014 Kent, WA – It seems like when a list of dates are posted for track time an end date draws attention. The “Driving Days” dates over winter drew quite a number of driver’s with even more automobile types.

This day was a little different in that there were “race cars” out for an inexpensive “test-n-tune preparing for the upcoming race season. The early sessions were timed out to 20 minute sessions, and gave the cars a wet surface to drive upon. The “open wheel” group got the worst as “light rain” on “slicks” does not work well. After the track dried this group and the “advanced” driver’s got their chance to make them “slicks” test the 2.25 mile surface.

The group that had what could be called a “bad day” was the Mechanical Engineering Auto Cross Team from the University of Washington. After laying out a course of cones to “test” their designs the motor choose to puke a valve cover gasket not long after testing started, which ended their day early. Not knowing if any of the gasket went down into the motor they decided to err on the side of caution and take it back to school and look it over so they can “test” again next week. Smart students making smart decisions.
