National Dragster Challenge, Junior Dragster #2 & WSCA #1 At Pacific Raceways
Somehow this race day fell in line with a movie line I heard years ago. “Endeavor to persevere”. Those words fit everyone involved with this race day from the racer’s who could not race, to the track crew who repeatedly had to dry the track. With just enough time to dry the track, and to get cars to the line, then run a pair or two, it would rain again on the track. Mother nature’s spring weather at its best, doing what it does to ensure the beauty that the northwest has, and for it to stay that way, though her timing does not mix well when traction is your goal. When Mother Nature realized that today no one was giving in she let up and let the racing begin, and continue to the end with no interruptions. At the end of racing the winners were:
JR. Thunder saw Selena Leninhan outlasted the field and Josh Schmanke.
In JR. Lightning Sierra Rohr beat Bianna Lindsey.
Former track champ Jake Havens running a better package edged Jim Funderburg in the motorcycle class.
Adding another statue to his many others Don “the worm” Elgin earned when Nick Douglas broke out in the sportsman final.
In a battle of wheel standing Pro class cars, Jeff Warnke’s Nova when world champ Brad Burton went to fast.
Another breakout in SuperPro by Steve Beggerly gave Jess Dale the win.

Brothers PowerSports Friday MX Series At Pacific Raceways – May 18th, 2013
There was hot and heavy racing under rainy and cloudy conditions at Pacific Raceways. The conditions were not ideal, in fact they were a bit challenging and a lot of fun in the mud. The mud was not enough to sink into but enough to cover the rider behind you. Pressure washer racing to be sure for the bike, tear offs required for the goggles, but what about the rider? You can’t have too many changes of riding gear can you? I have to imagine the cleanup between motos was quite a frenzy! Having practiced in these conditions on the Wed. practice session, it appeared that some of the rider’s gained by doing so. If you race in all weather, practice in all weather seems to hold true. To find this action, come out to the MX track at Pacific Raceways on a Wed. or Fri. night.

Frank Nelson Sr. (1937-2013)
It is with as sad heart to announce the passing of longtime NHRA Northwest Division Six racer Frank Nelson Sr. I met Frank in the mid 1980’s at then SIR, and Frank helped me shape the direction of my photography. His large and powerful hand on your shoulder had a way of steering you in the right direction. I will surely miss him, but never forget how he helped me. My condolences to his family in time of sorrow. – Jim Doyle

High School Drags Presented by Les Schwab Tires at Pacific Raceways
With the bright spring sunshine in their eyes, the classroom time could not go by fast enough for those high school drag racers. Then it was off to Pacific Raceways for an afternoon and evening of racing with girlfriends and other cohorts at the drag strip. More than 80 students from 26 different cities tested their skills on racing the track.
A host of sponsor displays and a trio of pure race cars showed what drag racing has to offer. Throw in a wheel stander and passes by the race cars in between the rounds of high school, the action was nonstop.
Add in the teachers and alumni from a number of schools aiding the new participants to drag racing helped out a great deal. When the smoke cleared at the end of the night these are your winner’s.
Tyler Bodtke from Rochester beat Tatym West of Enumclaw in the high school class.
