For those of you that have run both places, how do they compare with regard to:

Number of runs in a given time.

Track quality

Cost

Are your times better at one than the other? If so, by how much?

Any 1320 track around you like better?

 

You usually get more runs in at B-town, and your mph is usually 1-2 higher cus it slopes off at the end. However last Saturday, neither was true (breakage + a 30mph head wind)

 

B-town all the way....Just for the atmosphere!

By the way Mark awesome runs this past weekend!!

 

Bremerton is clearly the superior track of the two as far as how many runs you get, track prep, cost, how efficiently they run the track. Times are usually a little faster.

Pacific has better bathrooms and a more professional facility.. That's about it. LOL

 

Bathroom? Don't you know you're not supposed to drink anything at the track, so you come home dehydrated and sunburnt?

 

PR has better track prep on T&T nights... Bremerton is better when the track has been prepped for times. I have run my best and worst times at Bremerton, at PR I am very consistant. I pick Bremerton over PR...but on T&T nights I go to Bremerton for the better place to hang out.. If I want to run good times, I go to Bremerton when there is T&T and a event going on at the same time.

 

my car runs .1-.2 quicker at btown.

 

I couldnt agree more. And then there is the cheap food, better view of the track when spectating (its almost like your street racing), and the guy with the little speed shop in a trailer thats there sometimes.

 

I also prefer Bremerton in every way, except one! They need a better run off at the end of the track.

PR has a nice loop at the end that really allows you to slow down graciously.

When your trapping 120mph or more and its time to hit the brakes.....PR's track is more freindly! At Bremerton I feel like I have to stand on the brake pedal to make the strip exit.

 

I think the PR track is better, more consistant, better run off area. Bremerton is better run, I like Gordon, his wife, and the group that run the track better. I run at both the tracks it depends on the event.

 

I never could hook at Pacific so I prefer B-Town.

 

this is wierd,

I have better times at Pacific
only raced there once, season opener for Street legal/test and tune
I started out about the same as the end of last year at bremerton,
then shaved off over 0.3 sec and added 2 MPH every run over bremerton.

and I was running my stock (400 treadware) tires
I ran at bremerton last friday (after them being closed for 2 dry street legal friday events)
and my best was up 0.2 from PR
(and I was running some Yokohama Advan a032r tyres (Treadware 60))

bremerton is nowhere as professional either,
they don't open sometimes (because they didn't schedule EMT's)
and they are supposed to run till dark, right?
they closed an hour before it started getting dark last week.


but I did get 20 runs in.

 

dude wait PR will screw you!

 

What??

As far as the tracks compare cars will run the same times in the same conditions. Yes you may get 1 mph or 2 more at Bremerton due to the slope. I say choose on location or where a group is going. Let's say you run .05 sec better at one track, big deal. None of us in our street/strip cars are perfect drag racers so just go to a track and have fun. I go to PR because I am very close but if there was a race at both places and a gorup was going to Bremerton I would go with just for the BSing factor.

I have only gone to Bremerton twice. I didn't get more runs but I could see how that is more likely ther. There have been days where I have got 20 runs in one night at PR though. Some days things run well and some days it's all f'ed up!

 

Well put!

 

I've had one day at Bremerton in all the years I've gone there where things were screwed up... I couldn't even count how many times PacRac has screwed the pooch completely.

 

It's just soo close to me. Man Bremerton is even further for you!

 

yeah,

bremerton raceway is only like 15 min from my house,
and my car club is based here in Bremerton too.

but I do like going to PR as well,
