EVENT CELEBRITY: Parker Johnstone is a 6-time national champion who has competed and won at the highest levels of international motor racing. As the winningest driver in sports car racing history (including two 24-Hour of Daytona victories) and one-time holder of the closed course world speed record (in excess of 238mph), he was retained by ABC and ESPN to provide commentary for their motorsports coverage after retiring from driving full time. PACE CAR DRIVER: Dominic Dobson has competed in seven consecutive Indianapolis 500 mile races, 66 CART/PPG Indy Car World Series races over a 10-year span, as well as five 24 Hours of Daytona events and the 1989 24 Hours of LeMans. EVENT DESCRIPTION: The Pacific Northwest Historics features many of the world’s rarest and most beautiful pre-1970 race cars. This year, more than 250 vintage race cars are expected to enter. Favorites include Ferraris, Lotuses, Cobras, Corvettes, Porsches, Austin Healeys and some less recognizable names like Elva, Ginetta, and McLaren. Most are in mint condition through extensive restoration and many attain speeds in excess of 150 miles per hour. Some of the cars are valued at over $1 million and many have impressive racing histories. Competitors come from all over the West Coast and Canada. The wheel to wheel competition on the challenging 2 ¼-mile road course includes nine turns, 200-300 foot elevation drop and a near ¾-mile straightaway. The paddock area and in-field are open to all spectators. FEATURED DISPLAY: The year 2011 brings about a monumental occasion in automotive history, the 50 th anniversary of the Jaguar E-type ( XKE). The E-type known in the US as the XKE was introduced to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961. As the successor to the highly successful XK120, 140 and 150 series, the E-types stayed in production until 1973. The Series 1 were manufactured from 1961 to 1968, Series 2 from 1968 to 1970, and Series 3 from 1971 to 1973. Designed by Martin Sayer at the request of Sir William Lyons, president and founder of Jaguar, based on the highly successful D-type it incorporated the latest automotive technology; semi-monocoque body construction, torsion bar front suspension, four wheel disk brakes, and fully independent rear suspension with inboard mounted brakes. A double overhead cam straight six engine fed by three 2 inch throat SUs powered the Series 1 and 2 while a single overhead cam V12 powered the Series 3. Two body styles were available, the two-seater roadster and the coupe. Twelve “Lightweight” all alloy racing versions of the E-type roadster were built in the early 60’s competing credibly in such races as Le Mans, Sebring, Silverstone, Goodwood and Nurburgring. Eleven survive today – one being destroyed at Le Mans in 1963 while being driven by Roy Salvadori. CAR CORRAL: An additional 250 vintage and collector cars from local car clubs will be on display in the car corral. PRESENTERS: Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN) SOVREN Guild of Seattle Children’s Hospital CONFIRMED SPONSORS: Title Sponsor, Phil Smart Mercedes-Benz; Presenting Sponsor, Edelbrock Corporation; Premiere Sponsor Jackson Dean Construction; Associate Sponsor, Pacific Raceways; Supporting Sponsors, JFC Racing, Lake Union Sea Ray; CCS Printing, SeattlePI.com, Winward Communications Group. BENEFICIARY: The majority of our proceeds benefit uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital in Seattle. The SOVREN Guild is also proud to help sponsor the Seattle Children’s Hospital Science Adventure Lab. In the last 23 years, over $8 million dollars has been raised at the races. Our goal for 2011 is $625,000. MORE INFORMATION : Web: www.northwesthistorics.org .

The Pacific Northwest Historics benefits Seattle Children’s Hospital and features more than 200 vintage race cars, many of which are extremely valuable and exotic.

In addition, more than 250 vintage and collector cars from many local car clubs will be on display in the Car Corral. This year we are excited to celebrate Jaguar racing and the 50 th anniversary of the Jaguar E type (XKE).

Eleven survive today – one being destroyed at LeMans in 1963 while being driven by Roy Salvadori. Parker Johnstone will be this year’s Event Celebrity. Johnstone is a 6-time national champion who has competed and won at the highest levels of international motor racing. Just a few of his victories include two 24-Hour of Daytona wins and one time holder of the closed course world speed record (exceeding 238mph). His wins aren’t only on land! Johnstone is a certified flight instructor pilot having competed and won in aerobatic competitions as well. Upon retiring from racing Johnstone became ABC’s/ESPN’s IndyCar/CART racing commentator. This year, Dominic Dobson will be our official pace car driver. Dobson has competed in seven consecutive Indianapolis 500 mile races, 66 CART/PPG Indy Car World Series races over a 10-year span, as well as five 24 Hours of Daytona events and the 1989 24 Hours of LeMans. Proceeds from the Pacific Northwest Historics primarily benefit uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s, which ensures quality medical care for all children of the Northwest regardless of their families’ ability to pay. In 2010, Seattle Children’s provided over $110 million in uncompensated care to families in need. Proceeds also benefit the Seattle Children’s Hospital Science Adventure Lab, a mobile laboratory that visits schools offering hands on experiences for students who may not otherwise have such experiences. Over the last 20 years, more than $8.4 million has been raised at the races. This year our goal is $717,000. The Phil Smart Mercedes Benz 23rd Annual Pacific Northwest Historics is presented by Edelbrock Corporation and sponsored by Jackson Dean Construction, Pacific Raceways, JFC Racing, Lake Union Sea Ray, CCS Digital, SeattlePI.com, Windward Press, KMPS 94.1 FM, and supported by the Children’s Checkered Flag Club.

  • Amelia Island Concours D'elegance

    Amelia Island Concours D'elegance

    One more for the bucket list: Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance It was Sunday at 10:30 AM, and I had missed my chance to enter the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance before the line into the show field grew to what looked like thousands of people. This was just the tip of the iceberg, as thousands more already had gained entrance. It was my first Amelia Island Concours, but no, I don’t regret being late to the show. Early that morning, I had walked down to the parking garage on a tip that there would be a couple cars worth photographing on their way out to the field: the Porsche Museum’s 909 Bergspyder and hallowed flat-16-powered 917 PA. In the garage, it was easy to admire their curves, their history, and their cylinder count — 24 between the two of them. Behind the chain-link fence guarding the RM Auction cars, the two Porsches sat. Not another car back there could sway my attention. At 8 AM, they were tugged from their slumber by a golf cart and pulled to the show field. A few Porsches parked on my side of the fence were able to peel me away from the museum-kept racecars for a few moments. The first was the No. 67 BF Goodrich 1985 962, which was driven by Amelia Island honoree Jochen Mass at the 1985 24 Hours of Daytona, where he placed third overall. PCA member Bob Russo, the man who restored it, was standing by its side and spoke to me about the build and how it was finished just the week before.

This new racing venture is part of the Lexus’ global motorsports effort that will see the Japanese luxury brand competing on tracks in the United States beginning in 2016. The new race vehicle is based upon the production Lexus RC F high performance coupe that went on sale at the end of 2014. “A core mission of F Performance Racing was to strengthen the Lexus’ F brand by applying lessons gleaned from racing, while nurturing an engineering culture that transfers that knowledge to dynamic, high performance passenger car development. We are very excited about what this partnership and race effort can mean for the brand in the years to come,” said Jeff Bracken, group vice president and general manager, Lexus division. Veteran driver and road racing legend Scott Pruett will pilot the RCF GT3, bringing a wealth of experience to bear during the vehicle development phase. F Performance Racing will campaign a limited schedule in 2016. In its inaugural year, the team’s primary focus will involve developing the race organization while gathering data and track experience to help further propel vehicle development.
