OFFICIAL: Pacific Raceways For Sale

This saddens me, but I am not surprised. It is a matter of economics, and they are doing what they think is best. I am sure funding is a big issue for running a track as big as Pacific Raceways.

The 1st time I ran a car down the fabled track was in 1970. I still go there for many events as a spectator or helper for anyone needing it.

As long as I can remember there has been issues between the track and the property owners surrounding the track.

I won't hold my breath on this one, but I do hope it stays a racing facility for many years to come. We need one drag strip within this area and looks like the others are having issues as well. Ridge Motorsports Park near Shelton still doesn't have a drag strip (hopefully next year?). I have heard that Bremerton Raceway is possibly not going to be around much longer. That has been in the rumor mill for several years, but looks like the Port is taking over quickly with a new road next to the drag strip.

Like I said, I won't hold my breath, but these are decisions out of my hands (and ours), so let's hope for the best in this situation.
