Any truth to a rumored combo at Pacific raceway Aug 9

west coast · 07-01-2013, 10:33 PM

"Aug 9th is the race #3 at Pacific Raceways. This races is the weekend between the National event and the double header Div 6 race also at Pacific raceway. If you need a place to store your stuff for this race PM me and we should be able to find you a place. The last race we all pitched in $20 to increase the pay out. We were thinking the same lines but $100 for pay out. Most of the people we have talked to were ok with this. There is still $40 for track entry fee. We hope to draw allot of people to this race hopefully over 32 cars which would make a good pay out. If you can help with some sponsorship with this race PM me, anything for prizes. Please spread the word about this race for anybody that is coming from out of town or Division. Please let fans and specters know also these are the same cars that will be at the Nationals and divisional they can see for a fraction of the price and a one night race not all weekend. We are talking some nationally ranked drivers World Champ Brad Burton, Jody Lang and Mark Faul have all raced with us. The first 2 races were $6 to spectate this one should be the same. That's allot cheaper than a nhra race. So friends and family that don't come to nhra because of the price be sure to tell them about this race. More to come when we get closer. We will be spreading the word at Woodburn, if you got question stop by and see us at my trailer or Storms trailer.

Thanks James"

I think the potential for an awesome event is this one on Aug. 9th. With the National event before and the Divisional after should be a very high car count. Depending on each racer's travel and personal schedules car count could be as high as 35 or more. I hope the weather is cooperative to allow good times by all and very quick racing. There is a road race event that day also, so hope we all get in on time. Missed seeing you at the National Open at Bremerton last weekend. HOT weather, but great racing anyway. I believe 19 cars were there for the stock/super stock combo. On Saturday it was Mary Ann Method winning w/ Dave Barcelon r/u. Sunday Jim Storms was winner w/ Bill Edgeworth r/u. I was there both days helping a friend with his pro bracket car. Racing didn't go as planned, but was a great weekend anyway. Since I was involved with a car, didn't get to see as much of the combo as normal, but still could watch most of the close racing from our pit area. We we're pitted along the return road, so could watch the cars race easily. Yes, I am planning on being at Pacific on the 9th. Looking forward to the action.

Yes we do, but I like to be at the water box for a close up of the action. Hope the racing is awesome at Woodburn. The weather looks to be HOT. How is the recruiting going for the Aug. 9th combo at Pacific?? Hope to hear some updates soon.

A quick side note. Good to hear that Shawn Cowie is back behind the wheel of an Alcohol Dragster.

At the national this weekend there was talk about the entry fee for the race. We don’t want to price anybody out and some people did want to come and beat up there cars if the purse was low. So we are going to try and please everybody hopefully. The track entry is $40 we have no control over this, it is higher than the brackets because they are prepping the track better for us and it shows nobody has spun or complained about track prep. Then instead of a $100 we decided on $60 for the Purse money. Our main goal is to show there is interest in this kind of racing to the track and give an alternate to the 3 day divisional races that can pay good and be one day. We know Fridays are tuff for people to come but that is what we got this year. With a big turn out at this race could say allot for next year schedule. So come show some class support this Friday gates open around 4:00 first hit at 5:30 Two passes then 1st round No AHFS. Here is a list of people I know are going to be there.

Jody Lang
Jim Storms
Jim Boyce
Alan Falcone
Mark Faul
Bill Bushmaker
Dave Barcelon
Vincent Storms
Alan Messer
Brad Burton
Bob Gullet
Charlene Gullet
Gary Howe
Jim Meador
Shawn Kvaas
Bill Edgeworth
Brian Thompson
Ben Thompson
Brian Seaberg
Mary Ann Method
Chris Barnes
Caleb Hansen
Bernie Plourd

There are more that we talked to this weekend that were maybe's if you are coming PM and I will edit the list. If Double up Dan Fletcher is staying for the divisional I am sure a lot people would like to take a shot at the best guy out there.

Jody Lang · 08-05-2013, 03:33 PM

Diamond Jim Meador will be there.
