New track in eastern Oregon - Video

IT Manta · 11-29-2008

On the 23rd I was invited to drive the newest track in the NW. It is located in Grass Valley Oregon about 2hrs. east of Portland. This was the first time cars were allowed on track and as you will see in the video there are no berms curbing or brake markers yet. I would say it is one of the best racks I have ever driven

. Yep,better than Sears Point and Laguna Seca. Enjoy...

That looks like a great track. Except it has too many right hand turns. I wouldn't know how to drive on that one.

It's nice to see the sport of auto racing is thriving. Conditions at some tracks have me a little worried.

The track can be run in both directions in three configurations. I actually liked CCW better.
