I can vouch for Streets of Willow being a ton of fun. We normally pay approx $100 to drive there with timing, full safety crew etc. NO comparison to the typical "1 lap and wait a half hour" autox setup. 15-20 minute lapping sessions so with 3 run groups you can get more sessions in a day than a lot of drivers or cars can stand.

The faster cars can get up over 100mph, although as Howard says it's not nearly as "scary" as Big Willow or the other large & fast tracks in terms of pucker factor.

The weather is a crap shoot and often sucks. That will be the case with just about any event type or venue.

I've never done Thunderhill and that might be worth checking into.

How about Thunder Hill? Portland Int.?
Pacific Raceway Park?
Spokane Raceway Park?
Brainard Would be sweet too! (FAST!)

Speaking of which...The best venues are booked years in advance...

Any possibility that the 06 PNW team could be setting up a venue NOW for WCC 06?

Sure around the Baxters Historic car races. This was posted earlier. But moved back to 2006. And no it is not going to be the same time the Porsche parade is in Portland. Unless everyone (914world.com members) wants to join PCA and then attend there event.

I ran the big track at Willow on July 4th in 99. It was about 110 that day. It's true what they say, "It's a dry heat". The problem with that is that you don't feel it taking it's toll, it hits you all at once and wham! it's too late. You have to keep hydrated early and often.

If you are prepared, the summer weather can be ok.

Dry Heat, my ass! A Blowtorch is dry heat and still hurts! Diehard racers (golfers, fishermen) will put up with just about anything, but I'm not sure how many of those we have.

I pretend and act like a Big Girl about taking the heat.
In reality, it takes its toll on me. I become overheated very easily, even with constant hydration. So, if I become silent, cranky, and looks like i'm going to pass out....then get me into some shade! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

this is exactly what the guys want, Toast. All of us women will swoon, and HOPEFULLY the guys will be close enough to catch us, or at least soften our fall. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Jenny,
Yea, most of the guys that attended WCC looked like they had enough cushion to land softly on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) It appears to me that you have sufficient padding to land on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

For the ladies maybe. But wouldn't be able to handle the extra extra padding from the guys.

Well, if nothing else, the sense of humor is way high here. I think an event with everyone having a good time and laughing, will be something everyone will remember. Howard, I bow to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) you in respect for your diligence and purserverence to find us a track to run our cars and have a great time. I dont care how warm it gets as I can drink a lot of fluids and we can bring some of the old fire extinguishers filled with water to hose the girls off when they look too dry. With it being warm adn all the women will be wearing less and that will add an appeal to most of the male members anyway, I know I would like it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
