The Ridge Motorsports Park

Anyone had the opportunity to go to this track yet? The Ridge Motorsports Park I was able to go last weekend and would like to see if we can get the BMW club out there to do a parade day like I attended with the Seattle Ferrari and Lotus clubs. Top speeds were around 120-130 on the straights. I had an amazing time there. Made the contact of the track founder and would be will to head something up if we can get people to commit to going. Anyone local want to try to put it together? Would be a fun weekend. I was very happy with the way the car performed and was able to go out with a few Ferraris and an Austin Martin. The f430 didn't pull on the beast as hard as I thought it would which made me very happy. So is there anyone out there that would be in for trying to get a day out there? The event costs nothing as I think they are trying to gain exposure for the track! Coolest car there was a Carrera GT. Man that sounds amazing at WOT...

Also there was another M5 there with exhaust. The owner didn't seem to want to talk, not sure why, but if you are on here say hello next time say hello. I am a younger M5 owner and look like I'm 22 but I love the car and would have enjoyed chatting.

Here is a video of a Ferrari taking a lap.

Hope to get something together. Would be a lot of fun

Cheers,
Chris

The Puget Sound BMW club has a date scheduled out there. Looks like August 24th (Track Days | BMW CCA Puget Sound Region). My first impression was that it is just a lot of sweeping turns back and forth, but I'm sure it drives more interestingly. I always see those types of tracks and imagine that passing is a problem, but that's just my first impression.

^^^ I know this, however this would be a parade day. NOT A TRACK DAY. It would be to introduce you to the track. So, for people like you with questions, can have them answered before you go out for a real track day.. Plus it would be free so no harm if you don't enjoy it.
