Morris Dominates Woodburn Opener

Andy Morris and Ed Hauter Ready for Saturday's Final

The weather was nearly perfect, if you don’t count the short sprinkle while in the staging lanes for Sunday’s round three.  The track was in good shape.  The turnout was pretty good.  And the weekend was dominated by Andy Morris.

On Saturday, 17 cars competed for points and cash with Andy Morris of Olympia, WA coming out on top.  Ed Hauter was runner up, moving into second place in PNSCA points. New to PNSCA competition was Nick Bresaw of Beaverton, OR who made it to the semi-finals.  Andy was also the winner in the track’s Electronics Gambler class with the same car just minutes earlier.  That made him certifiably on fire.

First time PNSCA competitors Sadie Floyd, Tom Pappas, Neil Schindler, Brian Anderson and Ryan Carlson also joined us for the race. Welcome to the fun!  We certainly hope you all enjoyed it and that we’ll see you again.

At Saturday’s awards, PNSCA Champion for 2008 and 09, and current points leader Bob Woodruff was presented with a t-shirt showing how much the rest of the PNSCA field loves him.  It was all in good fun, and with so many hot newcomers, Bob would be wise to be looking over his shoulder.

On Sunday, 15 cars competed, with Andy Morris winning again and rocketing from nowhere to third place in the points. Don Knoblauch, Sumner, WA, also new to PNSCA competition, was the runner-up. PNSCA points leader, Bob Woodruff of Maple Valley, WA was in the semi’s with Emily Williams of Woodinville, WA, moving her into a tie for sixth place in the points standings.

Soon-to-be-Married Andy Morris and Kacee Bootsma

Andy becomes only the third person in known PNSCA history to win both halves of a double header.  He joins the elite company of Mike Seekins and reigning PNSCA champ Bob Woodruff in that illustrious group.  Andy and Kacee Bootsma are planning to marry on August 7th, we wish them both the best.  Although it might be nice if he lets some other folks win now and then…

We are all looking forward to seeing everyone out on the 4th of July weekend at the next PNSCA doubleheader at Mission Raceway in Mission, British Columbia, Canada.  It’s a beautiful facility and a great way to spend the holiday weekend.

Season Heats Up at Woodburn

After great weather for the season opener last week at Bremerton, it looks like Mother Nature is smiling on us again this weekend. The weather looks great for Saturday and just a chance of showers on Sunday. So everyone should come on out to Woodburn Dragstrip this weekend for PNSCA’s  second doubleheader of the year.

The points chase is just starting, with some familiar faces at the top joined by some series newcomers in the top 10. It’s time to grab your spot in the mix, so come on out to race!

Sunday’s race will be special, as it is sponsored by Roebeck Custom Fabrication.  Mike Roebeck and company want be the preferred supplier for PNSCA racers, even before Jegs, Summit, etc.  Mike is a dealer for Strange, Reid Racing, Mark Williams, Fragola, Dennis Taylor Motorsports, and many others and works with a very, very attractive margin.  So give RCF a call, before you call the eastern time zone.

We look forward to seeing everyone, racers and fans, out at Woodburn for a fun weekend of racing.
