Bremerton Is a all around better track. Conditions/People. At pacific it is usually a toss up whether you will get treated like **** or well. Tommorrow, (Friday) A bunch of us F-Body guys are heading to Pacific for the car club challenge. Most are with NW F-Body. If you come out tommorrow, (Gates open at 4) You will see/Get to meet a bunch of us.

There are only a select few races left in our season. You can check schedules at pacificraceways.com or bremertonraceway.com.

Welcome Romey Rome! You need to try and attend some of the group functions up here. Fantastic group of people.

Jake, Well? I've never been treated well there, just varying levels of ****.

The tracks are open until mid october, but the Car Club Challenge we do is done in late august or early september.

on the days where there isnt anything on the bremerton schedule, are they just not open? or is it just a general test&tune day?

man, wish i could make it out tomorrow, but i cant.

i'm trying to go out next week, i guess i will go try out bremerton on the friday test & tune. how much do i need to bring? around 30 to run?

i think bremerton is around 30-35, depending on if you need a number or not. it's a faster track too, by a tenth to a tenth and a half.

if it's not on the schedule i would guess it's not open that day.

Welcome to the nuthouse
Sometimes we host BBQ's at our house (Woodinville) everyone is welcome! A Hooters or BBQ post is a good place to get to know some of the nuts around here, no bias on what you drive to get to any of them. Hope to see you at any one of the various events coming up

Both tracks are 25 to run with a one time fee of ($2) are bremerton for a number, and $5 ( I believe) at pacific for a number. The numbers are godo for the remainder fo the year. See you out there!

yup, completely stock appearance....i would call it a sleeper if it were fast, but since it is far from fast, it is just stock. its white and has some factory nw edition decals and z71 badges and i put on these tiny ferrari badges under the z71 that give an extra 10 hp

yeah i think pacific is 25 + 10 for number which i have, but since brememrton number is not expensive i'll try to make it out next friday assuming its not raining

Welcome aboard. I'll probably be going to Bremerton on the 19th. Usually get more runs in there, and faster track, imo. Just look for the red Z06, that'll be me.

Yea, it's fair way from Tac/Puyallup, about an hour drive. But we just cross over the Narrows bridge, and no $$ to ride the fairy . But Bremerton is worth the effort/cost on ocassion.

Yea, quicker and easier, but more costly. Some drive around to save alittle money, but takes longer, mostly guys with trailers.
