Yea you can hit turn one at about 120mph! And turn 2 is about a 60 mph 180 degree turn! way too much fun! Best thing about spokane raceway park is the whole track is only 350$ for four cars for about 8 hrs. Each additional car is 75$. At least those were last years prices, it may be a bit higher this year. Thier insurance always goes up every year so they have to raise thier rates. But where can you race your daily driver for less? HA nowhere around here, and auto x sucks around here. I only went once and got to drive for about 40 seconds in about 6 hrs cause there were too many cars participating. Shit that cost 35$.

Wow, looks like a nice track. Too bad my car's not a little more modded, or I'd love to give that a shot when I go up there.

Dude if your car has a bit better springs than stock you would do just fine! Last time I went the competition was as follows:
2001 Porche Boxter
1994 Rx7 TT
1985 Toyota MR2
1995 Eclipse RS ;)
2001 Honda Accord (bone stock with about 1500 miles on it)
BMW M5 (fastest on the track, set up for full race, car was in the strictest sense "street leagle")

So if your worried your car won't perform, dont! It is all about fun, and there are pleanty of places to pass on so if you are a bit slower it isn't a problem. We don't race like the Australian Touring cars, no bump to pass shit here.

Well, that sounds pretty cool. Who knows what I'll have on my car by then. I just might give it a shot. I'm not experienced at all racing on a track (I've never even tried), but I guess you have to start somewhere. :P

All I gots to say is, if you have a drivers license your good to go! O you need to have valid insurance also. The course is just like a real city street (asphalt, no concrete) 2.5 miles long. If you want I can Email the specific map to ya. Shows the course in a bit better detail.
