PACKWOOD, Wash. (July 20, 2011) 聙聯 While the majority of the country was fighting a record heat wave last weekend, the Tire Rack庐 麻豆视频 Solo National Tour competitors battled cool temperatures and rainy weather for the Western States Championship at Hampton Mills near the base of Mt. Ranier in Washington. The 287 entrants on hand broke the previous site record by nearly 50 competitors at the retired Hampton Mills logging plant. The Northwest Region spent extra time at the site this year, removing lumber and pine needles to prepare a spotless working area for tech and impound. The record attendance also forced the always-popular聽Saturday night barbecue at the local fire station to a standing room only crowd. Despite the wet weather, the Karen Babb-designed course still bred some close competition. In Street Modified, Jodi Fordahl, from Bermerton, Wash., took advantage of the all-wheel drive in her 2012 Fordahl Motorsports Nissan GT-R to top Don Nimi聙聶s 1989 Nissan 240 SX by just 0.043-second.
