The Pacific Northwest Historics Vintage Car Race is a full race weekend, June 29th thru July 1st, that benefits Seattle Children's Hospital We have a LOT of new things happening this year including the 3rd year of Friday Night KART Racing. We have also added a Testing Day on Thursday, June 28th.
The Pacific Northwest Historics features many of the world’s rarest and most beautiful pre-1970 race cars. Most have been restored to mint condition and a handful retain the patina earned while racing years ago. This year, more than 250 vintage race cars from all over the West Coast and Canada are expected to participate. Fan favorites include Ferraris, Lotuses, Cobras, Corvettes, Porsches, Austin Healeys and some less recognizable names like Elva, Ginetta, and McLaren; many with impressive racing histories.

A little rain at the PNW Historics in KENT, WA, but it was all sun at HMSA's Portland Historics, Portland, OR. A good mix of race cars and plenty of happy spectators made this even a great success. Team Healey PDX represented well flying the BMC banner. Here's a few pictures of the pits and a little on track action.

My family had a great time at Kent. I have three racing converts on my hands now. Stopped by the Healeys to say hi, but we didn't manage to cross paths.
 
Thanks for stopping by, I heard I may have missed you. I'm glad everyone enjoyed the show. The noise and on track action is very addictive......
