Great job with the track and stand guys. So many people are and will be blessed by your vision and follow through. Long live outdoor on-road in the NW!
Hoping to get down there this Saturday

We'll talk about adding that date.
I forgot I had adjusted our dates to skip the RRR race on the 6th. I cleared that weekend.

Good Job!
Last Monday we visited the fabulous brand new track put together by the efforts of the Seattle RC Club - Congratulations for a job super well done!
Here's what you can expect on your visit:
1. Tarmac: The quality of the asphalt, the curbs and current layout are World Class - something to be proud of. Check out the badly driven laps with my F104 GP ( 21.5 / Pitz 71-72/ Gerar 93 Pinion 27 64P) It is the perfect track for the F-1 chassis as well as sedans, also drove my TA06 – both chassis nailed to the ground!
2. Adherence: I’m sure the track had been sprayed maybe on the weekend prior, we just ran between the blown over tree leaves as it was. Still incredible grip, enough to confidently go flat out on the main strait and sweepers.
3. Incredibly car friendly:
The curbs don't want to kill you, quite the contrary they will work their magic if you know how to roll on them, if you don't you will just get just a little bit of a shake at worst a small direction change.
Run off areas: many acres or at least it feels like it of run off areas particularly one has to appreciate the soft dirt swimming pool at the end of the main strait where if someone crashes or goes long it will incur the penalty of having to clean the car - but the forgiveness of not having it destroyed. Tveten and I unwittingly recreated Hamilton and Rosberg encounter in the Spanish GP sending both cars into the dirt poll and then off we went to use the brush and simple green – no parts broken. At Tamiya, Aliso Viejo, California if you've missed judged the end of the straight coming to the big sweeper or you get pushed and hit the boards...Oh boy car dead!
4. The lay out is perfect for 1/10 scale, as the cars go by it all looks so cool! Depending on how the flow is set the infield presents no great challenge to drive through, but it will require track time and racing experience to master. My guess is that dominating the infield, specially the second sector, is where time will be gain or lost.
Only one thing left to say:
Congratulations and thank you Seattle RC Racers!

We’re going to give this a go tomorrow. My weather app is closed.
I’m calling it a “soft launch.” The track is not complete, but it’s done enough to race on, and then some.
I plan to be there by approximately 8 AM to set up race central. I’ll have the gate open until about 10:30. Please drop off your stuff and park down the lane. The east side of the track is for the paddock. There is ample room up and down 136th for parking, just be mindful of the “No Parking East/West of Here” signs.
The club needs funds. Indoor has paid for some of what has been built this spring and early summer. The rest has been floated by a few of your peers. So as to maintain a fair distinction between dedication and martyrdom, I need to start spreading the financial burden. I’ll be collecting our standard race fees.
I plan to run a full program, 3 quals and a main. Expect the drivers meeting at 11, Q1 to follow.
