    SOVREN Spring Sprints 2012


    Vintage racing returned to the Pacific Northwest over the weekend of May 5-6, 2012. Moved back one week from its normal date (after all, NOBODY races on Mother’s Day), the season opener for the Society Of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN) was held under sunny skies at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington.












    Pacific Raceways is a track with a long history – from the USRRC races in the early ’60s, the Trans Am battles later that decade into the ’70s, even a USAC Champ Car race held over a weekend in 1969, Pacific Raceways (nee Seattle International Raceway) has seen its share of world class drivers and cars. Donahue, Revson, Foyt, Andretti, Parnelli Jones – just some of those who have raced on the 2.25 mile, 10-turn natural road course.

    RADICAL DUCATI ‘PANTAHSTICA’

    Spain’s Radical Ducati hit this spot time after time, and they’ve done it again with ‘Pantahstica’. You could be forgiven for thinking it’s a Ducati Pantah, given the color scheme, but it’s actually based on a Cagiva Alazzurra, a mid-80s touring derivative of the Pantah.
