The PNWDRA's Carl Thorsett made a trip to Seattle to be on Kiro News Radio today with Charlie Harger. It was a quick bit on what we are doing with the Green River College and Cornwell Tools June 5th High School Drags.

It was really wonderful to see how supportive the crew there was of our goal to keep drag racing healthy and to support the surrounding community.

We had a special guest : David Lewis from Green River College Automotive Technology joining us. It will air tomorrow morning as part of the My Northwest segment. I had only 8 minutes but needed an hour!

We have totaled and charted the points for all classes from last weekends A Street Automotive Season Opener. We are taking time to double check all of the results before posting. Special thanks to Dennis Boley for helping us with this.

We are logging everyone's performance for points to start with and the cutoff to sign up for points will be the end of the day June 14th. We are allowing some time because this is a new program for many and we want anyone who wants to be a part of the action to do so.

Thank you to all of our sponsors and track operstions team!
