Combo Action at Bremerton Raceway

Howes stickshift 55 shows that for a track that is run on a WW2 airstrip (no concrete except the waterbox), Bremerton still has some teeth! However, the short, downhill shutdown can give your brakes a workout if you take your time getting on the brake pedal. My first time racing at Bremerton was 1980, and despite a 4 hour tow, and potential long border line us, its still one of my favorite tracks. Many may not be aware, but the track is run by a car club, and has a volunteer staff, and the timing tower is on large casters, as unless things have changed in recent years, the tower, bleachers, Xmas tree etc all needed to be moved away after each weekend, so the racing surface could be available as an emergency runway thru thw week.And THAT has been going on since the late 50s. Quite a dedicated bunch!
