We had a great weekend of almost perfect weather at Bremerton Raceway’s 18th Annual Mother’s Day Nationals this past weekend.

On Saturday, 12 cars competed for points and cash with Dennis Kooker coming out on top and Dave Barcelon as runner up. Many time series champ Bob Woodruff made it to the semi finals. First time PNSCA competitors, Dale Hrenko and Troy Ross also joined us for the race.  Welcome to the fun, guys!

 
 

 
 

Also on Saturday, Pete Morey, CEO of Power Punch was on hand with Steve Clark’s Unlimited Light Racing Circuit Lighter than LIGHTS series boat, the E-222 to promote Power Punch oil supplements. For more information about Power Punch go to http://www.POWERPUNCH.biz

On Sunday, 10 cars competed with the 2009 series champ Bob Woodruff winning and again moving into first place in the points. Ed Hauter was runner up, Dave Barcelon was in the semi’s moving him into second place in the points standings.

Looking forward to seeing everyone out this weekend at the next doubleheader in Woodburn.

The Banquet was a great conclusion to a successful season. The event was expertly hosted and catered by Sam & Connie Bacon, Jeff and Hollie Yoder, and Brandon Yoder. The great meal was highlighted by Jeff and Hollie’s barbequing expertise of steak and chicken along with a potluck mountain of sides and deserts!! Sam and Connie’s motor home garage (completed only the weekend before) was the perfect room for all of the festivities.

We had nearly 50 people in attendance, with all of the top 9 finishers in the association.

These works of automotive art included internal lighting to highlight the incredible laser cutouts.

 
 

We had a special award that Chuck Linne put together for “2009 Rookie of the Year“. It was a hard fought battle, but EMDUB’s Emily Williams walked away with the honors after finishing in the eighth spot in points. Emily would also thank her crew chief/Dad/team owner/truck driver/pit crew, and our own webmaster, Chris Williams for her success. Plus her mom, Deb, for all her support.

 
 
 
 
Lastly, we reelected the same officers that did a wonderful job in 2009 for the up coming 2010 racing season.  Be sure to put the 2010 Meeting on your calendars (see below).

A delicious dinner is being served, Friday, September 11 from 5 to 8 pm at Woodburn Dragstrip for all who will be arriving early for the Baxterr Auto Parts/Bi-Mart Fall Classic.  Karen’s Concessions invites everyone to join in a hearty serving of spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, and green salad for only $7.00.  The beer garden will be open as well for your “happy hour” refreshment.  Plan to meet all of your friends for dinner on Friday and then be ready for two exciting days of racing on Saturday and Sunday.  More info here.

This is just a note to clarify that the next PNSCA race is August 15th and 16th at Bremerton.  There was some discussion early in the year about another date, but the date shown here and on the Bremerton Raceway website is correct.  See you there!

During the PNSCA race in Spokane on June 8th and 9th, Bob Hallock donated $100 for the Best Package in any Super Class elimination round over the weekend. Our own Earl Cunningham had a .004 light and ran a 9.054 in the first round on Saturday to take home the cash.

It was great for Bob, a Super class racer from the Spokane area, to provide this generous Best Package Bonus. We also want to thank Lew McArthur, from the Spokane Pro Gas Association, for organizing the companion S/G and S/ST event and all his help on same weekend.  We all had a wonderful time, and enjoyed the racing at the new track.  We all look forward to returning.

We hope you’re planning to go to Spokane for the PNSCA race (June 6-7) or Divisional race (June 12-14).  If you do, please note that the Super indexes for Spokane go from .90 to .05 because of the altitude.  So Super Comp is 9.05, Super Gas is 10.05, and Super Street is 11.05.  If you have a car that runs these indexes, please join PNSCA and the Spokane Pro Gas Association at Spokane County Raceway in June.

Lew McArthur and the Spokane Pro Gas Association are adding a companion S/ST and S/G race to the PNSCA double header June 6 & 7 at the new NHRA-sanctioned Spokane County Raceway. We will post more details when available. For more information, contact Lew at 208-773-2900 or oldsracer97@verizon.net.

The PNSCA Power Punch points series starts the 2009 racing season with a double header at Bremerton Raceway just west of Seattle this weekend.

Bremerton Raceway will have a test and tune on Friday afternoon with gates opening at 3:00 pm, racing starts at 4:00 pm till about 8:00 pm depending on track conditions. The cost is $25.00 for car and driver.  For more information, check out Bremerton Raceway at http://bremertonraceway.com

The PNSCA double header will start on Saturday, with gates opening at 8:00 am each day, qualifying will start at about 9:00 am each day. We will get 2 qualifying runs, maybe 3 depending on the car count and the other classes each day. The track will collect $25.00 at the gate each day for car and driver. PNSCA will collect $60.00 each day; see Connie at Bob Woodruff’s motor home/trailer.

In 2008, the first Saturday race at Bremerton Raceway was won by our 2008 champion, Bob Woodruff. Bob has already attended five NHRA events so far in 2008. Jeff Yoder was the runner up, and has already been making laps at the Boise D6-1 event just this past weekend.

In the 2008 Sunday race, Moe Trujillo was the winner, with Donald Sefton runner up.

Make plans to join the PNSCA for this season opener, either as a racer or a fan.  Hope to see you there!
