Last weekend the Northwest Region of the SCCA held its annual Double National event at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington. With a small turnout of competitors, we decided to feature just a few of the classes that raced in this years Double National. That said, follow the link for a look at a few of the Formula class cars that competed over the weekend... [read more]
A handful of Formula Mazda's were in attendance. A great entry level Formula car, FM's offer low operating costs, bullet proof rotary engines and a rather competitive field.
After spinning in the exit to turn eight, Rod Rice was able to regain his track position after overtaking the Formula Mazda of Lucian Pancea. The position did not come easy, as Pancea was able to fend off the lighter and more powerful F1000 for a few laps.
Though he never moved from the back of the field, 70 year old Micheld Herald did prove one thing; no matter the age, life is best lived at full speed.
The only Formula Atlantic in attendance, James Blackwell's 1993 Reynard 93H did not have the speed to overtake the pair of F1000 just ahead of him.
Even though he ran mid-pack all afternoon, Rod Rice's 2007 Stohr F100 was definitely a favorite. Six speed sequential gearbox, F1 styled aero and a 1000cc's of screaming open-wheel glory... what's not to love?
Another Stohr F1000 doing what they do best.
Mark Jaremko managed to take the win in Monday's race, even though the exhaust on his 2008 Phoenix F1000 had come loose with two laps remaining.
While the Formula 1000's dominated, last weekends SCCA Double National was an opportunity to see a wide range of Formula cars on track for three full days of racing.
