I went out for one of the SCCA Track Nights at the Ridge Motorsports Park this last week http://www.tracknightinamerica.com/ and have to say I had a good time. A very good deal for $150. They have another event next month at the Ridge and also events at PIR.

Here's a link to one lap around the Ridge

Well it's that time of the year again to plan to get out and drive your car. There are several ways to drive your car fast without worrying about other cars and tickets.

There are several groups for Auto-X and they all have novice classes and instructors for first timers. Here are links to there schedules for 2016. WWSCC will be adding more dates so pick an event and come on out.

Bremerton Sports Car Club
http://bscc.net/index.php/schedule/2...cross-schedule

SCCA and WWSCC
http://www.wwscc.org/schedule.html

For those that are interested in full track events at Pacific Raceway, The Ridge Motorsports Park or PIR here are two groups that I recommend and will be at several of there events

SCCA Track Nights are weekday events that start at 4pm and have groups for first timers with instructors and also groups for those with more experience. You get 3 20 min runs for $150.00 which is a good deal.

http://www.tracknightinamerica.com/a...acks-announced

Hook On Driving also has groups for beginners. They are more expensive but it's a full day with 5 20 min sessions and lunch.

https://www.hookedondriving.com/hook...rthwest-Region


Come on out and have a good time driving your car

Not sure what was going on, I think my mount may not have been tight or ? First time I've had that issue using Harry's Lap Timer. I think there was an issue with the overlay also. The G force's don't match up with the corners and the speed jumped around.
