ooooo!!!!! awesome!

I couldn't find when it would be built. Would be nice!

I thought Mark Twain has been working on this. I mean Nick. I mean Anijo?

I really hope so. It does look very nice!!!

I heard he was going to some of the meetings about it to see how you could help out I think? They need support, I forget what he said the major road block was.

wow. that look like a great road course.

I heard he was going to some of the meetings about it to see how you could help out I think? They need support, I forget what he said the major road block was.

They needed a sound ordinance pushed through that would let them build the track, I posted the date for the meeting like the morning of or something and then couldn't make it myself, lol. The measure passed though, last I knew they had no major road blocks left to start construction!

Their plan was to setup one of those parking lots with AutoX in mind too, should be an awesome chapel of speed :)

but how long will it take to build? probably a long time, eh?

Probably a year or two depending how much planning has actually been done and how much money they have.

right so its a bit too early to get excited..

Excited about driving on it but not so much following the build of something cool :)

Kind of like the ORP build last year. It was cool to see pics of the track come alive.

true.. i only really care about when it's ready for track days though. ;) and i dont think 2 years into the future very often..

When you get old like me then you like to watch things like tracks develop along the way :)

hahaha suuuuure man. i'm just sad i'm missing my track day at pr today..

Sweet another track in the NW a SCCA regional SPO looks more atractive now. :)

Oh dang, also is it just me or is it that every time I find a new track, its in a city I've never even heard of...

hahaha suuuuure man. i'm just sad i'm missing my track day at pr today..

2 track days missed due to waiting on tune?

80 miles south of Seattle so no bad.

2 track days missed due to waiting on tune?

yep.

Once you get dialed in then zoom-zoom!

Once you get dialed in then zoom-zoom!

thats the plan but it may not be this season...

IDK plenty of tracks in Cali :D:

haha true.... would you make the trek as well if your car gets into shape?

I like :)

About the same drive as Bremerton and Pacific Raceways...so I'm excited

Looks like a nice layout :)

Motorsports is making a comeback :) NASCAR IS good for something :)

^ wow you're smiley today. ;)

Haven't heard anything for sure, but I saw on another forum that the re-zoning was approved.

If true then that is great news :)

Here's an update that was posted on that other forum:

"The rezone has been approved.
After final planning and design are completed it will be submitted for the conditional use permit. That will take 45 to 60 days.
Prior to that, initial clearing (stump removal) and road construction can begin.

Alan Schwen, Bruce Lind, and Mike Sullivan will contribute to the design to insure maximum safety for motorcyclists.

They are hoping to be operational by mid summer 2011. That will allow test and tune and track days but it is to late to schedule any racing dates.

Good stuff!
