We should have an NW US oppo track day

so I was looking at the nearest race track to me (spokane county raceway) and to rent the track seemed absurdly cheap

$2,000 dollars for the weekend!!! that's probably as much as some 24 Hours of LeMons teams spend on 1 race weekend, and they can't have their own track to themselves. they have to share it.

and it actually looks like a rather nice track.

the road course is 2.25 miles long, and it looks to be like an 8 turn road course, I don't see why we can't do this.

anyone in?

I would do it, but I don't have the means to. I'd be all in for a NW Oppo kart extravaganza up at Pacific Raceways. Their course is AMAZING and their rates are pretty reasonable from what I've heard.

I'd be in but I'm on the wrong coast. I saw NW and read NE for some reason. Sounds epic though. Maybe I can find something on this side of the country.

Dude, it's the best. It has a mega-cool racetrack that gets used for some pretty gnarly racing. I saw the regional stock cars racing there a couple years back and that was the coolest. The kart track is fantastic and they also do drags and stuff. I've never driven anything there, but I'd be down for karting even though I've never actually driven anything quickly.

If closer, once I have a suitable car, I would be interested.

I need a better car than a mercury mountaineer on stock suspension (holy hell tons of body roll), I shoulda bought the subaru legacy wagon I was looking at, or use my car as a tow vehicle

I don't know why, but that just seemed absurdly cheap for a track weekend, if you had 10 cars, it would only be 200 bucks a car for a track weekend, and 10 cars does not seem like a lot at all for a 2 mile road course.

I would be down if you take a super amatuer with his non-Miata Mazda.

My resume only includes Need For Speed series and GT5.

well your username says your in the Pacific Northwest, so I'm guessing either your in portland or seattle areas?

thats my resume as well, if this was going to be an actual reality, I would need someone with actual racing experience to organize this, I'm only 18, and I doubt they would accept an 18 year-old being in charge of a track day.
