Is that usually in May or later in the year? Just interested to know how soon in the year the outdoor season starts there.

Check my work!
Ok, based of the information here, and other sources, this is what I have come up with.
Please correct me where I made a mistake:
http://www.one18th.com/forums/showth...&threadid=4591
I did not include Tacoma, as I gave a 25 mile radius.
I think I will add a small webpage to my site just to help fellow Seattle r/c fans in this "dead" area. So if any of you track owners/managers want to let me know what classes you are running. I could put that on the "spreadsheet" I will create.
Wasn't there also a carpet track at Everett at some point?
Lastly this Tamiya class at Burien Toyota? Where do I find more information to add to the spreadsheet?
*Grumble* *Grumble* no tracks *Grumble* in Seattle *Grumble* itself. *Grumble*. Especially no *Grumble* 1/24! *Grumble* Stupid bus system.

Its a trap (no)
Yes, the link is meant to takeover your browser, and install my own virus which gives me complete control of your computer. Which then sends sexually explicit emails love letters to Cheney over and over again.
NOOO..
If your so afraid of one18th.com, I will repost it here.

Lets see, in Seattle city limits. No, as far as I have discovered (been here a year and found diddly squat).
Seems to be a wasteland. I am thinking of going to the Hokeytown USA in Southcenter to see if I can convince the owner to put up some racing during the summer in the parking lot.
Anyhow if you have access to a REAL car (can't afford nor do I want one) and dont mind the wonderful traffic on the freeways:
Atomic Hobbies in Issaquah, WA (South East 15 miles)
http://www.atomichobby.com/raceinfo1.html
Type: Outdoor Parking lot
Rain City Raceway in Mukilteo, WA (North 18 miles)
http://www.raincityraceway.com/
Type: Outdoor Parking lot & Indoor Carpet
Schmidt's R/C Raceway in Marysville, WA (North 25 miles)
http://www.schmidtsrcraceway.com/
Type: Offroad outdoors
Supposedly the Burien Toyota in Burien, Wa (South 9 miles) has some kind of Tamiya only class. I cant get any info off their page here: http://www.burientoyota.com/en_US/f_HomePage_1.chtml
There also was a outdoor offroad track on the outskirts off Redmond. But I cant find any information on it.

your new here so i'll let you in on a little secrect we have here in the N.W. 80% of what you see on here (at least from me anyway) is meant to put a smile on someones face. you will see name calling, slamming, dis-sing, and once in a while some useful info but most of all good ole fashion ribbing between racing buddies. my above post was only in fun. i apoligize if you took it the wrong way. besides if you would have said the porn stuff in the beginning i wouldn't have waited so long to click on it.
now for the questions,,
burien toyota races tamiya "brand" cars only, except for the GT1 (mod) class which i think they opened up to any brand. lets say you have a TA04 you can run GT3 thats with a tamiya style 540 motor, GT2 uses a "stock" motor GT1 is mod they have a rally class, a f-1 class and more classes which should be on the web site. look under the results link. the outdoor track in redmond is called maxxland, there should be a link to it on the atomic site. hope this helps. oh btw, on the weekends, if you get up real early there is no traffic,
