The PNW has one of the best racing scenes in the states. Back in the day, when racing was all about electrics, the Hank Perry 240 was one of the largest races of the year in the US.

It had fallen off a bit, not counting some die hards, but is bouncing back big time. The first [link=http://www.northwestchamps.com]NCT[/link] sold out in a couple weeks. 260 entries, might end up being around 275. More racers means more exposure on the street...With so many new people buying an RC some of them are bound to show up here. I know a couple of local LHS's that say they've seen more new people in the shop in the last year or so than any other year. Tracks are popping up all over (new indoor track in Cottage Grove announced, should be ready to race in 2 months, new outdoor track in Jefferson etc). Its a good time to be racing in the PNW!
