PRO3 News

Here is the original 1964 poster we patterned a little of the current poster after.

Where any of you long timers at this event?

I read that article last year when it came out, I noticed the same thing. I don't think fact checking is high on the editors list of things to do.
 
Greetings all,

PRO3 will be having TWO open houses on Saturday, May 4. Take your pick!

In the morning we'll have PRO3 cars and drivers at Griots Garage in Tacoma as part of their monthly Caffeine and Gasoline roll-in car show. If the weather is nice, they will pack their parking lot with an eclectic variety of customer cars. We'll be there from 8am-11am. We'll have the PRO3 cars on display, and drivers are available to answer questions about local amateur road racing.

NEXT, we'll take the trailers up I-5 to BMW Northwest in Fife for a 1pm-3pm Open House at the dealership. BMW Northwest have stepped up in 2013 to be the Premier Sponsor for PRO3.

Both of these events are to promote the Spring IRDC race at Pacific Raceways the following weekend.

Pleased to report that PRO3 will be racing at the SOVREN Pacific NW Historics July 4-6 at Pacific Raceways.

PRO3 will have their own featured run group and will be running under PRO3 rules. Ken Hill will serve as the steward for this event, so Bob Mearns can drive!

Toyo Tires have agreed to include three of the five races from the weekend for Toyo Bucks eligibility, so if we can hit 30 cars that will equal $3,300 in Toyo Bucks ($1,100 per race).
 
Very cool guys! I'd love to see this kind of promotion in the Formula Ford class, but somehow I don't think Crossle is going to pony up to promote my 1979 35F.
 
Only one way to reply to that -

Thank you for your service! Everyone talks about freedom, but those who are willing to risk all to insure Liberty is a practice rather than a concept have my undying gratitude and respect.

Thanks Rick - Might seem a little old fashioned but I do appreciate that. My Dad "risked all" in WWII and Korea so I sorta learned it from him. He offered to get my in to the National Guard when my time came but, I just said no I OWE my country four years.
 
Guys and Gals,

Bimmer Magazine will have a writer attending the IRDC event at The Ridge on Saturday. His name is Randy Wells and he is doing a story on PRO3.

I've told him to find the worker's meeting at 8:00am to check in and let the appropriate folks know he wants to shoot images of PRO3 from somewhere on the track to accompany the article, and he will be directed to a safe location to shoot.

thanks,
 
Wonderful. Thomas can probably use another flagger. T8 will give a great impression of what the PRO3 story looks like on track. ;)
 
Local E30 Enthusiast Owen Craft from Anacortes spent the summer creating a documentary on the BMW E30 called Respect Your Elders. Owen is currently a Sophomore at UW. PRO3 get a little attention in the middle of flick, it is on Vimeo:
