Default Upcoming Track Days in PNWR Region

Starting to think about the upcoming track season. Interested in days at the Ridge Motorsports Park (never driven there), Pacific Raceways, and others.

Would be interested in joining some local Vancouverites for a convoy and some track time. TIA

I do ORP, and run with a private group that has an open track and limited number of drivers.

Lots of track time, and fast drivers.

As for the Ridge, I will likely attend a day in the summer with Jeff at Pacific Western Performance

I think the Ridge will be a wet track, those trees don't get tall in a dry region. Take some video and post it after the day.

To the days that I do? or the ones at the Ridge?

I can forward your email address off to the guy that organizes that part. Also, John and Wei have attended a few of our days at ORP in the past.

really worth a shot doing the ORP days with the group (porsche train) that ed mentions... great group of guys, semi track support, plenty of trailers heading south if you need track wheels hauled (ed for example)... safe group that is quick and all you can eat track time
Motel is $50 per night 9 miles from track and basically all booked with PT participants
All the events (one per month starting in May ending in September) are 2 days in order to make the trip worthwhile.

Ed can email the organizer who can email you the details if you are interested

ORP is a great play ground and allows lots of freedom.

Portland is also not too far away and has a nice little steak house:

I can park this at Ridge for the weekend. Make for a relaxing time at the end of the day.

Nice, does it have a trailer for your car?

I just saw the announcement about the opening weekend party at The Ridge. I might have to see if I can get a kitchen pass from the wife and fly in for the weekend...
