Car Club #5 & Test N Tune At Pacific Raceways

Car Club #5 and Test and Tune 7-11-14 16811 July 2014 Kent, WA – Car Club members who take part in the season series got a bonus as far as the cars that came out for the test and tune part of the Friday night race. With a weekend of Nostalgia race cars on the property they were eager to test. Some very fine early iron made passes down the track to the delight of those spectators and club members watching.

Throw into that an ongoing development of a dragster in bare metal and a competition license upgrade. Walt Austin with son Pat and Pat’s son Drew testing their fine work on the dragster. Am looking forward when it goes into competition.

For the upgrade, longtime northwest racer Bucky Austin brought out a AA/FC for the upgrade. Having mostly driven and won in the alcohol funny car classes any E.T. or speed could be classed as a personal best. Planned runs over the weekend should give him the runs needed for the upgrade.

In-between the Car Club rounds saw Jr. Dragsters, altereds, front engine dragsters and even a motorcycle testing. Quite a range of race cars to watch tonight.

The race winner for Car Club this race saw Jason Cooper of Arlington top Steve Kranz of Snohomish
