For over 25 years of racing in the same car that started out as it came from the factory to the 100% “race car” it is as it sits in the museum who better then Al himself to explain this history. No stranger to speaking in front of crowds, having tought in the Seattle Public Schools for 37 years, Al walked the croud thru the history and in-between rounds servicing of the car.
In attendence to take this in, the Bardahl family who has sponsored the car for the majority of it’s racing career. To see this car and many other pieces of history go to www.MOHAI.org. to find your way there.

NOS Forum Fest At Pacific Raceways – June 22nd, 2013
22 June 2013 – The Import nation invaded Pacific Raceways for the NOS Forum Fest. If you have an import auto and want to race it they have a class to put you in, whether you have stock or high horsepower and anything in-between. All three events were going on at the same time. Not a drag racer, try the car show as thousands packed the grounds shining them up for all to see. Say you are more into drifting, that was happening on another area of Pacific property. As all events happening together, a lot of walking was needed to see it all. Hungry? Well, Bigfood had them covered. Their fine fare took care those needs. This event grows larger each year as the word spreads, (think social media). Here are the class winners:
Motorcycle: Chris Benda breaks out big giving the win to Mark Sires
