Default The Ridge Motorsports Park

Even though it feels like the start of winter in the Pacific NW, I'm already getting excited about trying out the new racetrack (The Ridge Motorsports Park) that is currently being built in the area.

The Ridge Motorsports Park

This gives us Seattle area riders 2 tracks to run at. Can't wait for the next track season to start!

I'll see you there John....

Probably won't be hitting Pacific next year...The Ridge looks tasty and, well...I had so much fun @ Portland last year that I'm gonna HAVE to hit it again. And then there is ORP....man...we got it pretty good up here in the NW!

Even CSS has taken notice of the new track, a two day camp offered next summer.

Wish I had the coin.

Too steep for me this year.

Although I have heard that the two day camps are not necessarily worth more than two back to back days, but are certainly more expensive.

As well, the Pod and I did CSS levels one and Two last year and we both struggled with it to be honest. Not saying I wouldn’t do it again, but was quite frustrated by the end of the weekend.

Unfortunately, the price for the two-day camp is too high for me for one weekend of riding. I will have to get by with going through local track day providers.

Swanny and Rainman, I'm sure you guys will have a great time.

Default 10 track dayz vs. 2...

Man, this is killin' me.

Is it really worth it? I mean, @ $200.00 a pop fer a track day, I could be hitting The Ridge, Pacific, ORP, Spokane and PIR....multiple times, and it would be about the same as 2-days w/ CSS.

Still thinking about it...weighing out the difference between doing 10 track days (on different tracks) and what I would learn, vs. 2 days of school adding up to MAYBE 2 days worth of on-track time...but being critiqued by true professional riders and instructors....

Input from the forum requested...
