I like the Portland idea. If someone plans this I guess we'd be looking at next spring?

Next spring? How about next week? I don't know if I can wait till next spring.

Pacific Raceways does quite a few open track days but I happen to be autocrossing the Buick at Bremerton airport on Labor Day, the 7th this coming weekend. www.BSCC.net Who's in? I was planning on running the morning session so I could get over the bridge before the yahoo holiday traffic.

It's a US holiday so it kind of leaves our buddies to the North hanging but hey, what's one Monday off work? They're also having a practice session on Sunday if that's a make or break for anyone. Thanks for starting the thread, Rybar. Who's taking the bait?

Mission is not a bad track, we have had our car out there. they run some open track days that only cost 275.00 for the day it is not a super long course but our camaro gets to 125mph by the end of the long straight.

Labor Day is one of the few holidays that we share in name and date so I am sure that there will be a Canadian or two there on Monday. It also means that the border will be a zoo but that's life.

Have fun!

Good to know. Thanks Jim. So we'll see you there? haha! I wish!

I wish I could make it Jason - we just got the car off the dyno yesterday after swapping the transmission and have to do some work on the rear end before heading to the Silver State deal in two weeks. The good news is the car is a whole bunch better than it was - the bad news is that it took a bit of time to get it right. Hopefully next year after the One Lap of America we will have some time to do some stuff a bit closer to home. Then again, I really like this California stuff...

I guess I started this thread so we could organize something in the future, I didn't necessarily mean tomorrow. There are a few auto-x events where I am locally but I have always wanted to try a track event.

I really like Todd's (Vegas69) idea of taking some lessons on how to drive the car. If anybody has any insight or suggestions for this at one the PNW tracks let me know.

I'm in for whatever whenever. They have classes at Pacific but being a large road course, tech is pretty stringent. I'd be down to go to Mission next summer.

As for this weekend, I'm officially registered for the Bremerton autocross on Monday for the AM session. Who's in?
