Sprint cars at Pacific Raceways, 1960

Thanks to Golden Wheels' Dave Craver for the photo.

While I doubt it was the full circuit, the sprint cars of the Pacific northwest did race at Kent, WA's Pacific Raceways in 1960.

There was some controversy as the race was held the same day as the Sea-Fair sports car races at Shelton.

I've only had rumours of this race, having got a photo sent to me about five years ago. And then recently a column in a 1976 Racing Wheels had a report on the race.

So it sometimes takes time to piece a small bit of history together.
