w00tw00t · 11-07-2011, 08:14 PM

Okay PacNW trackrats!!! You're going to love this and dream of next summer...

sawzall · 11-07-2011, 08:22 PM

Oh man, that track looks fantastic! Have you been helping with the construction/design? Judging from the video, you seem pretty familiar with the track already.

w00tw00t · 11-07-2011, 08:27 PM

mr shizzle ...

that's not me ...i just got notified of this via a FB update from a local perf shop...

wish it was me though

This track will be fantastic. I love the cork screw like corner at the end.

I need a second job to finance all the track days next year

btw: at the last PCA driver skills day, I heard that there is a possible 3rd track in the future...

w00tw00t · 11-07-2011, 10:59 PM

this almost makes me want to buy a bike again and try this on a 848 or something like that.. this track would be so much fun on a bike!!

von_zoom · 11-08-2011, 08:28 AM

What a great looking track. If I ever get out that way, I will drive it.
Thanks for the info.

I might move to Seattle - the last section looks awesome! God bless Laguna Seca for what it has done for new tracks!

Merked M3 · 11-08-2011, 01:29 PM

Looks like turn 8 and 9 from Laguna Seca!!! Nice!

414bhp · 11-08-2011, 01:49 PM

I agree with the Laguna Seca corkscrew analogy. That front straight looks mighty fast too! I like how the high speed straight ends in a dual apex sweeper rather than a tight chicane or hairpin. It makes me think of turns 1 and 2 at Suzuka.

Or Turn 2 at Pacific Raceways, although the school line is go wide for the fist apex, and then do a late-apex for the second one.

In any case, it is good for the brakes

The owner of the video said he was able to do 150mph on that straight... That would be a serious job for the brakes if the Turn 1 was a tight hairp(a)in

aarodynamics · 11-08-2011, 05:14 PM

Looks like fun, can't wait to run around it!!!

klammer · 11-08-2011, 05:21 PM

Fantastic track! Looks like it's going to be a lot of fun

Looks pretty cool. They have a crap load of fencing to put up...and cut down a few more trees.

Well, they literally just put down asphalt in the last couple of weeks...

Fen335i · 11-10-2011, 10:39 PM

Looks really nice...can't wait for next summer! I sure hope our local BMW and porche clubs will offer some track days out there.

1MOREMOD · 11-10-2011, 10:44 PM

Keep us posted vivek. Now we have another option. I wanna hit this up and ORP.

Kev · 11-10-2011, 11:05 PM

Hmm..... that might actually entice me go back to the track one more time.
