Can’t wait for this to happen. Looks like Washington might finally step up on the track game.

I like it. Race Track next to the State Patrol Academy. And people say Gregoire isn't that bright

track looks awesome!

which direction is it gonna run? I'm assuming counter clockwise based on the layout at the ends of the straight...

how long is the front straight?

are any of the turns gonna be banked?

whats the width of the track?


if I were to nit pick, I'd want a longer run off area at the end of the straight in case someones brakes give out or something...

This is a great track design, and it's truly exciting to see something like this being designed and hopefully built in our own back yard! I wish I could make it to the hearing on April 6th, but I'll be at Spring Mountain Motorsports Park in Nevada that week, so I have a good excuse :-)

Anti clockwise is correct, front straight is 2700 feet approx.

At least one off camber, which one is top secret til opening day, then two, and perhaps three, full on bank turns.

Track width is engineered at 40 feet, discussing with pavers now, may have to run traditional 36

The paddock area at the end of the straight has been eliminated, just could not get it out of the rendering without a lot of work, and these pics will be used as visual displays at the hearing, so that part is showing for now.

Property is zoned for a hotel, and small aircraft.

No kidding. If it is succesful, a small hotel/restaurant with car museum will be on the grounds (think five years out)

thanks for answering the questions, sounds like an awesome track!

glad to hear about the run off area at the end of the straight... that 1/2 mile straight should be fun!
