I have never raced at SIR but I covered and photographed many SCCA, ICSCC,
Formula Atlantic and SOVREN events there in the early 90's. The course is a
classic with lots of elevation change and a very long front straight (drag
strip and runoff). The track was pretty run down when I was there, glad to
here of it's revival.
SOVREN is the vintage racing group. Check them out at:
http://www.sovren.org/
You can check out ICSCC (a regional race group) at:
http://www.icscc.com/
Team Continental is another racing group to check out:

Here is the NW Region SCCA site:

Just a word of warning...There is a reason it's so green in Western
Washington. Investing in good rain tires is a very good idea!
Best of luck in a beautiful corner of the US.

Amici,
I am in the process of changing jobs and moving my family from NJ to WA. My
new job is in Kent, Washington, coincidentally the home of SIR (Seattle
International Raceway) which seems to be making a revival under new
ownership,
starting in January 2002 (see
http://www.bmwaca.org/seattle_intl_raceway.htm)
SIR appears to be within 15 minutes of the homes we are looking at. Does
anybody race there?
mjb - sometime before 12 September, please change my subscription address,
as
follows:
From: brooks@belcotech.com
To: tr3a@worldnet.att.net
For the rest of y'all, I look forward to meeting the left coast FOT. Is it
just me, or does the ocean seem like it is on the wrong side of the coast?
<grin>
We'll be keeping the tr3a@worldnet.att.net Email address in Seattle.
Starting
12 September, however, this Email address <brooks@belcotech.com> will be
obsolete.
Later,
