Well i finally got up to the track this last saterday to watch a little racing and see how things are ran. The heats i watched ran off with no hitches, more importantly no arguments, fighting or frustrations that i could see. I love seeing a bunch of racers gitting together and just having a competitive fun time. ---- It seems the racers understand when things happen "thats racing"---
On a racing note, the biggist gaps in trucks i seen were made by driver mistakes and lap times were very competitive. I was also impresed with everyone jumping up to cornerwork and fill in the gaps for those--- other drivers --- who had to get repairs done.

If you stumbled onto this thread and are looking for a north washington undiscovered gem you have to check out this track, shop, and racers,,,, If you are worried about ventilation or racing with a gas mask, don't. I watched a few mains right next to the track and didnt get smoked out. Than again i love the sweet scent of NITRO.
I will also probably be gitting an electric truck or buggy like to race this winter

Hi guys,

I just thought you might like to know, at Mike's we only need three for a race. We pay out 1st place for three in a race, we need four to pay out 1st and 2nd and five or more to pay out 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

I hope you guys are coming for grand opening on the 7th of August. It will be fun.

If you come up, introduce yourselves to me please. I would love you meet you all. I am finding that racers seems to be the best bunch of guys I've meet. Everyones just looking to have fun and that is one of the main reasons we started the track.

I look forward to meeting you all.

Default number of racers

our track is small. We can not hold 10 on the track. The most we have had is 7. Are long term goal is that in about a year or two we will be moving to a much bigger building to have a larger track. we've got our fingers crossed. we have big plans for the future, but we have to get there one step at a time.

you should let me know when you expect to come up with the buggies, we have a couple guys up here with them and they can bring them at the same time.

Ahoy from Canada, we are very excited about this track, plan on comin down with 3-4 gas trucks and one guy has a brushless b4 so if you could get a buggy class for saturday im sure he would be very pleased. So buggy guys please come out this Saturday. What is the entry fee for race days/paractice days. Is there gonna be a membership program with the discounts and all?

Hi, to race the entry fee is $12.00 for the 1st class and $8.00 for each additional class. To come and practice/play is free. we are open M-F 4:30pm to 9pm, Sundays are 11:00am to 7pm and on Saturdays we open at 11am and racing starts at 4pm. Alot of the guys like to come early to get their pit spot. We don't have alot of pit area but we do have a decent size parking lot.

Grand opening racing will start at 2pm however, as we have alot of drawings to do.

Let me know if you have any other questions, i look forward to meeting you so make sure you introduce yourselves.

Penny
