Track Info for Pacific Raceways - Convention Track

[RonPorter]

Normally, this would probably go in the Road Course topic, but since we are this close to the Convention, I figured more folks would see it here.

Anyway, the official track website is:

http://www.pacificraceways.com/

However, the website with more of the "good stuff" for drivers is at Trackpedia:

http://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/Pacific_Raceways

Note the track layout. We drive this one "backwards" (in a counterclockwise direction).

Scroll down in the Trackpedia site, and there are two Turn By Turn guides.

One is all text:

And the other is by the BMW Puget Sound region. This one has track lines, as well as pictures:

These should give you a good idea of what to expect.

Oh, and one last thing. Go to the SHO Club site and under the Convention # 17 info, be sure to read the Safety Equipment requirements for the track, found under the Wednesday activities.

Im from Puyallup originally, about 30 minutes away, and with my old man being a top fuel crew cheif for 30 years and seeing the drags and road races countless times I can tell you is that the road quality of that track is about a 6 out of 10. It is a little above average of your nice surface streets. I have been around it on a Suzuki and in a SHO. Turn one thru two is a little down hill. From T3 to about 6 is a very fun uphill, then you go past the staging lanes for the drags and back down, or if I remember correctly, right next to the drag strip.
