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. http://oregonraceway.com/ - 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): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DQ_g77Qx60 - 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 - 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.  |
