We are still " trying " to get a 2 day event a Pacific Raceways , but it has been challenging. Pacific Raceways only wants to do one day events with 1 Q run and then E runs. This make it difficult for many out of the area racers to attend.

Great to see Mission on the schedule. We're looking forward to it!

Racers: We will not be racing at Pacific Raceways this year. The
schedule as originally published is final. We know that many who live in
the Seattle area are disappointed, but scheduling a race is at the
discretion of the track.

Regarding Seattle, I guess it is what it is but why can't they just let us enter Pro bracket , make up our own ladder and just run our pairs at the end of the lanes right behind the other Pro bracket cars? It wouldn't take any more time than if we were to just be bracket racing with the rest of the Pro bracket cars? I suppose this is just a rhetorical question but it doesn't make any sense in that there isn't a quota for how may bracket cars show up for a race, why should they turn down the extra business?

Jim,

Go read the letter to drag racers from Pacific management: https://pacificraceways.com/letter-to-drag-racers/

They state that the track is losing money on the drag strip. So limiting racers is going to help? They cut 4 Summit races from their schedule and have now dropped the alcohol cars from the LODRS race.

The logic escapes me.
