This was another day of challenges for the great crew at Pacific Raceways dealing with water coming up through the track on the top end after heavy showers on Friday evening, but they managed to pull it off! They are the best!
While waiting for the track to dry, Chris invited a Scout Troop from JBLM to have a seat in the Wagon which made their day! Thanks son for your hospitality to the young men from JBLM!
This was the first time out for the Chevelle in 2017, and it was also the first outing for Torri in her ’66 Tempest, and the 2nd time out for Paul in his Mustang this season. The cars were running well and Paul set a new personal best in his Mustang running a 11.782 @ 113.87 MPH in Q1 in the great air!
Paul was eliminated in round one of Pro Bracket in a close race to Dennis McGinnis in his hard charging Mustang. Paul ran a solid 11.819 on a 11.80 dial but Dennis had a slightly better reaction time to get the win light.

Chris won his first round in Pro Bracket running a solid 10.482 on a 10.48 dial to face Martin Lambert in his Monza “Taz” in the 2nd round. This was a double break-out race with Martin taking the win by a narrow margin. Chris ran an excellent 10.452 on a 10.46 dial. Chris is happy with the new merge collectors as he was running excellent 1.39 60-foot times with the heavy Chevelle.
Torri lost in the first round of Sportsman when she got a poor burnout and spun the tires hard on the starting line running a 12.339 on a 12.19 dial ending her day.
Our thanks to the crew at Pacific Raceways for never giving up on resolving the percolation issues on the top end to make the race possible! – Roger
