Hi guys,

I am thinking of moving back to the west coast (vancouver) and am wondering about the track scene there. In Ontario during track season theres a track event every weekend for about $80...

I have some friends in vancouver and seattle that goes to pacific raceways to track, but they go once or twice a year only. I am wondering is there anyone here that goes more often then that? How many events are there in a year typically that I will be able to join? (is there an event every week?)

How about mission raceways in Mission, B.C? Or, are there any other tracks in NW U.S that I dont know about? (Pacific International Raceway is a bit far for me)

Just doing my research so I can decided how often I can track after I move and I can buy my tires accordingly

Thanks!

Mike Garrison is your man: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=563941.

Not going to find any $80 track days around here, though.

It's been a few years since I've been to Mission. I think there's an outfit called Performance Drivers Club that has events there.

Proformance Racing School has the weekday track days at Pacific Raceways. Weekend dates are hard to come by. The motorcycle clubs and the racers seem to have them all during the summer.

All the local tracks (Mission, PR, Spokane, Portland) are set up so that the road course uses part of the drag strip. That means the drag racing is also competing for events.

There are 2-3 new tracks that are supposedly being builtin the NW. One is in BC, called Active Mountain. But their website seems to be off the net, and they were supposed to have finished the track in 2006. My guess is somebody ran out of money.

You can do lots and lots of track days at Pacific Raceways, if you have the time and money. Expect to pay closer to $250 for admission, though.

124Spider,

Do you have a link to the event dates and details? Im curious to see what they are like.

Thanks

This is the Proformance schedule. There are a number of others who sponser track days open to the public, such as the Alfa Club and Speedware.

This is a link to the Pacific Raceways website, which has a schedule for the road course.

I just did a track day at Mission last weekend with this club: http://www.theinsideline.ca/ I've done three with them. They usually do about two a year.

Awsome!.. THanks guys! I'll definitely have a look at those sites. Looks promising though. =)

BKL, you are Taiwanese?? when you moved back to BC, I would definately recommend a shop that my friend owns to you. All the cars he tuned are super fast. (If you were in AutoX / racing scene in BC, you probably heard of them.)

go to the NW region site and you will see the regulars there. I still don't have my S2k yet but I hang out with those track junkies all the time in that forum.

Whenever I decided to go PR i just post up there and hopefully see some familiar faces...

You need to get rid of that junker red car of yours and get a real car. Something that can turn a decent lap time.
