SEATTLE, WA.- The NHRA Full Throttle Series traveled to the Pacific Raceways (Seattle, WA.), to compete in the NHRA Northwest Nationals this past weekend July 18-19.

In Funny Car action, Tim Wilkerson defeated Tony Pedegron in the final. Ron Capps took control of the lead in the Funny Car points race, but Ashley Force-Hood is right on his heels in second.
