Spokane???

[TaurusRacing]

I hate to start another thread on this but does Allister or anyone else know what the word is on our first round in Spokane? :shrug: We are only 3 weeks away!!! :eek:

It's a go.

Also, is SRP any good for spectators? I was thinking about bringing someone for her first race, but will she be able to see any of the action other than us going down the front straight???

Thanks

I don't know if they are still there, but rickety stands existed where you could see the entry into four, and then all of 5,6 and 7. Plus if you swivel your neck around you could see people going past on the the straight.
Overall I would say Seattle has more variety and maybe more interesting viewing spots, but Spokanistan isn't terrible for spectators in my view.
With the new cleanup I don't know if the stands will be there. but that would only be the difference between standing or getting splinters in your butt.

There also is decent viewing from the field just beyond the pits of T8 / T9 (I think)

Here's another link to my little video of the track:

The stands are gone, as is the junk...

A few pics too:

Perhaps you can ask one of our officials can drive your friend out to a couple of corner stations around the track?

Does anyone have any onboard footage from SRP? I need as much seat time as possible.

For some reason I don't think it's on PS3. :rofl:

I'm sure she'll see all the "action" she needs thanks to JCR!

Here is some video from a MW GP race on my SV in 2007. It has a good ending.

What motels are on the Westside of Spokane close to the track? Prefer Red Roof or something of that caliber instead of Motel Hell. Is there a preferred spot?

Thanks.

You'll get a kick out of this:

Since SRP obviously isn't on Playstation, I took my lap top into the garage and did a few laps watching 750 SBK race from 2007 there. It should help with my timing a bit. Even set it up on the tail of my Aprilia to get a good draft.

Didn't make any vroom vroom noises though.
