Oregon Raceway Park

   This is my favourite race track within easy traveling distance from here (about 6.5 hours from Blaine, WA). You've seen Brian mention ORP before and this is the track - Oregon Raceway Park.  

ORP website

I just got back from two days there and here is one of my faster laps.  Videos never convey elevation changes properly, but take my word for it - this track is like driving your own rollercoaster.  It's an amazing amount of fun!

Here's the video (speedo is in MPH, not KM/H):

1 lap of ORP

	Now you can see why I love that track so much. Mission is a go-kart track compared to ORP. You can run ORP in either direction. Here is a video of a professional Grand-Am driver, BJ Zacharias, driving a cool custom track car being built by a fella I know in Oregon, Dennis Palatov. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kBZ0zpZVZw The first car BJ passes in the video....is me. I saw a flash of white in my mirror and moved over to give him some room. He's stinkin' fast.
