26 May 2014 Kent, WA – Nearly 150 entries rolled onto the Pacific Raceways legendary 2.25 mile road course for the 34th time: for this Memorial Day weekend of racing. The teams attending are from the Pacific Northwest, including parts of Canada. There were a number of teams from Nevada and California also that made the drive.
One driver came all the way from Miami Florida with his father overseeing him as this young man is only 17 years old. Has to be living a dream though, he is a good driver and is quite focused on the road ahead of him.
Local drag racers, the Ermish’s welcomed Troy from Tracy, CA for a family weekend get together, lots of smiles around that camp. I have to think that there is alot more families doing the same thing.
Enduring the weekend with the Northwest weather – still in spring mode was to be the challenge of the event. Cloudy, rain, sunny and dry has to make tuning and suspension changes a lot of log book moments.
Racing these fine machines in good conditions pushes man and race car to the limits, now throw in adverse weather and the seat of your pants becomes more in tune. For those who overcame all these conditions go to www.nwr-scca.org for the results.
Pacific Raceways has many wonderful vantage points and photo opportunities. The weather provided a great variety of lighting conditions as well, so over 3,400 images are now available. The pictures are broken down into four albums – by day, so please take a look at all of them for your favorites.
