Springtime
racing in the Pacific Northwest is always interesting, with rain, fog
and chilly conditions competing with us for track time. However,
never has it snowed heavily at a race event in my memory. That was a
first, and hopefully the last we'll ever see of that phenomenon.
|
 |
Sunday March 8
dawned gray, cloudy and cold for most people, but mostly dry. The
white moisture unfortunately rolled in to PR in the wee hours and
hindered our first two enduro practices, which had to be aborted so
the track sweeper could finish the large job of clearing 2.2 miles of
asphalt covered snow. Our final 20 minute practice was held on a wet
track, and then 24 cars duly rolled off the line at 11:00 am sharp to
start the event. |
|
The weirdness
began around 12:20 when calls came in warning us of heavy snow coming
east from the Kent valley.
Sure enough,
it started snowing so hard that by 1:50 we had to call for a red flag
and send the pace car out to bring all race cars in to the hot pits.
A drivers
meeting was called at 2:30 by the NWERS crew, and due to the
continued snowfall and low visibility between turn stations, the
event was officially called off. |
 |
Trophies were
dispensed to the lucky few who were running at the front of their
respective classes at the time of the red flag, and everyone wandered
off through the snow to pack up and head home. BUT, by 3:00 it had
stopped snowing, by 3:30 the sun had emerged, and by 4:30 the snow
had melted! Three or four inches of snow come and gone in less than 5
hours! Goofiest week-end any of us could ever remember at a race
track, but the remaining slush and standing water on the track
surface would have been a dangerous proposition to be sure.
The track
personnel estimated at least 2 hours to sweep and vacuum before we
could resume, with no guarantees that the rivers of water across many
of the turns would subside quickly.
All that can
be said is "better luck next time" I guess, but this event
will go down in Conference history as one of the strangest races ever
seen on the west coast.
