| 2011-12-19 | Vintage Karting Video
Checkout this video. The last 3 minutes are at Mountain Hi-Way. thanks John Denniston.
I just realized your club is still going and racing at the Tacoma sprint track. Your members might be interested in a video I uploaded to youtube about a year ago which contains some sequences from Tacoma. The film was made by me in 1978 and 1979 to promote the Westwood Karting Association at trade shows so is mostly Westwood but it jumps around a lot from Westwood, to Trasher's Corner, to Tacoma. It doesn't really make much sense but the visuals are sometimes interesting to those who like to remember the old days.

| 2011-11-07 | 1st Winter Series Race a sucess
1st winter race held at PSGKA was a great success story, Great turn out, Great weather and even better time with new faces and racers. Best of all there was a first time karter in his first go kart race and he is just 66 years young, it was great seeing the expression on his face when he was handed his trophy, Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Come one and all to the next race !!!
Next winter race will be at PSGKA and Bill Hettick has been moved from the Dec. 4th to the 11th as not to conflict with PGP race. Gates open Sunday 7AM, with practice on Saturday and there is food service (by Paul and Jessica) so come one and all to join in the fun. This week there was BBQ Beef sandwiches, hotdogs, hot coffee, coco (hot chocolate),tea, pastries, pop, candy, not to forget the Biscuits and Gravy and more…..
The 30th ,40th and 50th entries will get a free lunch from the President of PSGKA at the track.
Special thanks from me to Johnny Blair our new VP for all his help at the track, Mike Collins and Jack Lehman, Jeff and Jessica Portalski, the Morgan family, and all the other PSGKA members for team building and answering question about PSGKA the Club and the track. And not to forget our fellow karters to the North (Seattle Karting Club) for making the trip South and to Bill Hettick for putting on the Sea-Tac Winter Series. Great fun!!!!

| 2007-08-14 | Important Announcement for AMB Customers
Dear Valued AMB Customer:
It has come to our attention that some customers are using abrasive detergents, high-pressure hoses, or even submersion in an effort to clean their transponders after use. Doing so can result in degradation of the transponder's circuitry and overall performance, and damage resulting from these practices will not be covered under warranty.
AMB transponders are designed to perform at an extremely high level in typical motor sports environments. However, they are still susceptible to damage when handled improperly. AMB recommends gently washing your transponders with clean tap water and allowing them to fully dry before attempting to charge them.
If you have any questions or would like further clarification on the proper cleaning and treatment of your AMB transponders, please feel free to contact us by phone or via email, or visit AMB's support site for more information.
