The two circuits most people will remember are Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington, just south of Seattle, and Westwood, in the Coquitlam district half an hour east of Vancouver, B.C. These two challenging tracks nestled magnificently into their naturally forested habitats and both hosted the USRRC, Formula 5000, and the Trans-Am during their heyday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As in Long Straights, Rudow\u2019s inclusion of thumbnail profiles for many of the drivers and their cars allows readers to visualize the complete picture of what it was like to go road racing in the Pacific Northwest four decades ago. Consequently, it\u2019s difficult to imagine anyone who buys this book being disappointed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Available for $69.95 directly from the publisher, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rspubs.com\">www.rspubs.com<\/a>, or at better bookstores.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weekends of Glory By Martin Rudow The second volume in author Rudow\u2019s self-published series recounting the history of Northwest Sports Car Racing, Weekends of Glory, chronicles the period between 1962 and 1970 in America\u2019s Pacific Northwest.
