25 July 2015 Kent, WA – This Saturday morning for the Swift Tool event started out with a couple of laps around Pacific Raceways legendary 2.25 mile track by the local Porsche club as they embark on a trip to visit Porsche clubs around the west coast. Would like to have learned more of the details but as most of the info is held person to person as to not draw a crowd to what they are doing until they are ready to let everyone know.  Good Luck and have a safe journey.

As the Porsche club drove off the property the drag racers came pouring in for the Swift Tool event. An overnight pouring of rain had soaked everything and the current conditions are not to favorable for quick drying and with the chance for more rain the dilemma of to run or not to run became a hard choice for drag strip manager Ed Garfield.

Checking the radar like everyone else that has that smart phone capability the decision to run got the drag crew into action to dry the track. With the help of a bunch of street tired cars and trucks lapping the shutdown portion of the track the dampness that prevents racing was eliminated and racing got underway though a few Mother Nature induced hours later then the scheduled time.

This great track work by the drag staff on the track surface had Australian native Steven Ham primed to do some more testing with his alcohol funny car prior to the national event coming to Pacific Raceways in a few weeks. By the looks of the passes made he is right in the mix and a good shot at going all the way.

A break in the Swift Tool events till after the Nationals, see you then.
