As track operators plan out their race dates a weather chart has to be part of the process. The conditions for the dates are important as the data is there from year’s past to go on. In the Northwest you can not count on the past. The weather, it can throw data right out the window. Such was the case this Saturday for the MX races at Pacific Raceways.
Rain,rain and more rain. At times pounding down with huge drops that had to sting a little as you motoed around the course. These elements had to be the worst most rider’s have experienced under race conditions. Anywhere that water could pool, it did, turning the track into “soup”. This issue scrambled the track crew to create ditch pathways to drain the water away from the track surface. For those rider’s who were not in the lead a coating of mud drenched whatever rain protection they had on and for those who were unlucky enough to land in the mud a pressure washer became the item of the moment.
Almost 1,000 images are now available, some of the muddiest, and coolest “wet” shots ever taken at Pacific Raceways. There are two albums – One for Saturday, and one for Sunday. Click on the links below to go to the album you wish.

09 Nov 2013 Kent, WA – The end of the drag racing season at Pacific Raceways opened the road course to full use and the resumption of the HPSDD. A wide range of entries took advantage of the chance to get back on track along with some who for the first time wanted to test their skills against the famed 2.25mi. surface.
