So is there a drivers stand, and a timing system, Because without both you will have a very hard time getting people to show up and pay $10.00 to just bash around on a track.

If this is going to be a real race facilty I welcome it, we don't have a good outdoor track down south.

Who are you and what is your back ground in racing?

I agree if there isn't a lap counting system and a drivers stand no one will come.:cry:

never say never/everyone/anyone/no one. its 5 minutes from my house, how can not go check it out.:D gotta remember i'm the guy that races without a transponder, cause its suppose to be fun, not who wins. right?

Richie, that’s very noble of you...LOL, but you and I both know how most racers feel about that, after all it’s a race, the point is to win.

I hope things do work out its only 15mins from my house, but I just don't see alot of people paying 10.00 to just go bash, not racers anyway.

You got to start somewhere!!!! Good luck and it would be nice for a "local" outdoor facility (power, pit space and a program)!!! Hopefully it will be dialed in for next spring/summer!! Maybe there will be room for some asphalt in the future and it will be a complete complex with off road and TC!! It is definitly in a good spot if it is in Pacific Raceways, it already gets the crowds we need to elevate our "hobby".....

This is awesome! I saw the track at the raceway in Medford last weekend. It was bad a$$... Hopefully the Twins will make this a great place to race!:nod:

Yea good job on starting on a new off road track for the pacific northwest. So much for all this rain washington gets. got one question is this on public or private land?

Shirk 10-05-2008 06:34 PM

It's good to see a new off-road track trying to get started up. :D

rpk19 10-05-2008 06:56 PM

yep have to start some where!

its on private land and gates are locked.

stand is coming in one week but for now its all we could do. come out and check it out!

Rewp 10-05-2008 06:59 PM

just in case you were curious. This appears to be a cheap way to get going some racers...
