Seattle area tracks?

Are there a few options or no? What is the elevation of them, and are they decent?

It looks like I might be moving there sooner than I thought.

Hey Mr Glendale AZ, I used to live in Phoenix. We've got a few tracks around here to choose from. More than likely they won't be as close as what you're used to, but you'll get used to it

depends on what kind of Racing you are looking in to. If its dragracing we have two really close then a few more on the outer edge of things. If its circle track then we have a few of those around too.

It all depends on what you are looking at racing.

My bad, I meant drag racing. Also, how long are the tracks open there? I got spoiled by the 360 days a year of racing here.

Looks like I will be moving to the area really soon. I hope the DAs are good there. We are at 1800 ft or so here.

Where you gonna be moving to? 2 local 1/4 tracks close here... www.bremertonraceway.com and www.pacificraceways.com. Usually some track days in feb and march, racing season begins in april, ends september/early october. It sucks not racing year round...was stationed in southern Georgia for a while, and raced all winter, it was great.

Last time I checked the official altitudes Pacific was ~400' and Bremerton was ~250'. They are both on plateus a bit above the lower valleys.

I was close on PR. I just went over to Bremertons Forum & asked I am sure Dale would know what the right alt. is for bremerton. Both the starting line & the finish line. THERE IS A DROP there in the middle.

not sure yet. I hope they go full digital. It is killing me working on my mights already. I see a new ports Tree in my future as Biondo won't upgrade mine
