Pacific Raceway

Pacific Raceway sometimes called Kent for the nearest town. Kent is more or less a suburb of Seattle, Washington.
I still call the track Kent so that is what I shall do.
Kent is one of the oldest purpose built race tracks on the west coast. It has a great history as it hosted TransAm, F 5000, the USRRC and other race series. Today Kent hosts the SOVREN club which is the club that I have shot several times.
Kent is one of my favorite tracks and until Tom Beech mentioned that he wanted to see more photos from Pacific Raceway I realized that I did not have a gallery just for Kent.
So Tom here it is.
