Hello Race Fans!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It was another nice weekend at The Place To Race<\/em> – Pacific Raceways for a TNT event Fri night and West Coast Grudge<\/em> Sat night.\u00a0 We did some testing with Joe Loch’s Top Sportsman Camaro to get it ready for the upcoming NW Nationals and all went really well.\u00a0 The 1st pass on Fri was 6.49 @ 214 and 2nd pass was 6.53 @ 215 so everyone was happy!\u00a0 Great job by Joe and Chris in getting the car running like it should as they have been battling it for a few races this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had 3 cars running the West Coast Grudge<\/em> on Sat with Torri making her first passes with the new 436 engine combo in her ’66 Pontiac Tempest, I was running my ’85 Mustang in the 7.50 index class and Joe was running his car in the Big Tire class.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Torri did a great job driving in making numerous passes with the best of the night being 6.88 in the 1\/8 mile.\u00a0 She was able the grudge race against our buddy Barry Hobson also in a Pontiac and Torri was able to get the win.\u00a0 The car ran superb and driver did a great job too.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had the good fortune in getting to the winners circle as my final round opponent hurt the transmission in his car.\u00a0 It was not how we like to win but will definitely take it.\u00a0 The car was consistent running best of 7.35 even with trying to slow it down to be closer to the 7.50 index.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joe was also able to make it into the winners circle in the Big Tire class, his best pass was 4.20 to the 1\/8.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The West Coast Grudge<\/em> crew – Willie Peterson, Jen Peterson & Cory Sherbon all do a fabulous job in promoting these events, just wish there was more cars last night.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hope you all have a great week and hope to see you at the track!<\/strong><\/p>\n
