Thanks for the update! This track can't come soon enough. It's been really tough to justify the long drives to Tacoma, Marysville, Area52, etc - from Queen Anne. I really want this project to happen so please let me know if there's anything that I can do to help.

Meeting Postponed
Our presentation to the SeaTac city council has been postponed.
As the project proceeds and gets much more real, it is also facing scrutiny from other agencies. In this case, the city attorney and Port of Seattle need to work out some particulars. Not surprising, and not at all discouraging. It's just government.
So, we are shooting for August, perhaps September.

that is from NOR-CAL hobby, On road paved, with 1/8 scale off road, and on the right, 1/10 off road on there own track, the carpet track is in the building of course, but after Reedy, I'm sure its pretty shot. I believe after Nats new carpet goes in.

Nor-cal is AWESOME! They have that great on-road track (which is hosting the upcoming Nats in Aug), a 1/10 short course dirt track (as they call it), a huge 1/8 dirt track (which will be hosting the ROAR 1/8 electric Nats in Sept), and in the winter the build out a big carpet track in their huge wharehouse/hobby shop. Right now it's just a bunch of pit tables.
I'll be there next week and I'll take a bunch of pics for you guys.
If I didn't love my tech job (and the paycheck) so much I'd consider doing something like Nor-Cal in the Seattle area. I know commercial tracks are a tough business but some of them flourish. The ones that don't just cater to the regulars, snubbing the noobs tend to do well.
If any of you are considering such a thing, make sure you read "The Experience Economy" by Joseph Pine. Trust me, it's a must-read.

I grew up in Fremont, well Jr high and High school anyway, AND as a matter of fact remember NOR-Cal when it was the Goodyear tires warehouse, and worked at the place they tore down to build the union city community center down the street. a few of us went to the Reedy Race there last month

You never know, one day the Seattle RC racers might be large enough to support it's own permanent indoor facility in a similar fashion that the flying clubs keep a field open.
I keep eyeing the old Steve and Barrys space at the Everett Mall, its something like 30k sq feet of two stories, enough room for s meglart of RC and two tracks and a indoor flying space.
