Got it today. Lot's of "Rules" and procedure stuff. Oh well....time to get serious I guess. We have one more big 1/4 mile meet here on the Island next weekend with 300+ cars . That'll be the last time to tune and see what it'll run. Here's hoping everything stays together this year! See you guys in 2 weeks!!!

You pick up 405 in the Lynwood area. It's a better road than I-5. It's exit 182. You can't miss the exit.
Bruce
405 to Renton. Take 167 southbound (Exit #2 right in Renton) for about 10 miles till Highway 18--take that eastbound. Pacific Raceways is about another 5 miles on the right, can't miss it.

Gotcha!
Now...could one of you fellas maybe PM me as to a reasonably close place to shop (like Safeway, Albertsons, or whatever) for food etc (beer???!!!) near the track.Seems we're not allowed to bring much of anything thru the border.
Someplace easy on and off the highway?
Instead of PM, I'll just post here, you're probably not the only one with this question. Easiest place would be from the track would be to get back on Hwy 18 east bound to the next exit 1 mile down the road to the City of Covington. They've got Safeway, Fred Meyer, parts stores, all the usual places plus some restaurants and such if you want to go have dinner with the family.

Is there a Speed Shop nearby to buy race gas and Nitrous? or do they sale this stuff at the track?
Also, whats the temp/wind in comparison to Seattle? Is it usually hotter.. colder or more windy?
Thanks

Race Gas is available at the track, bring a debit/credit card, just swipe it like a normal gas station. I believe its Sunoco and your choices are 100 Unleaded, 110 leaded and 112 leaded. Nitrous, your nearest speed shop would be Honest Performance in Federal Way, not sure about price or anything, might try giving them a call. I think they will want to chill your bottle ahead of time .... http://honestperformance.comHere would be Mapquest directions from the track to Honest DIRECTIONS TO HONEST PERFORMANCE VIA PRWeather for mid august would be in the range of 70-85 degrees, with temps likely towards the higher end during the day. That same week last year it was over 90 degrees, and its over 100 right now in the PNW region so who knows where it might actually be. Not terribly windy, we have these things called Evergreen trees all around the track that help stop some of that. -Dustin
