Topic: Columbia River Slot Car Racers Kick Off at Pacific Slot Car Raceways!

Saturday August 16th Bob Nakamura and I made a trip up to Pacific Slot Car Raceways in Edgewood Washington. We participated in races for two of the three scheduled for that day. The races were run on their Twister track which is an 8 lane flat track. For myself the track was challenging, both in terms of racing and turn marshalling! The track was originally at Slot Car Central years ago but it still in beautiful shape! Amazing actually considering it is well over 25 years old!
As a raceway owner you could not ask for anyone better than Jim. He took the time to talk to me about his business and give me some of the inside info on the cars and race procedures. The races consisted of three minute heat races with the computer controlling the track power through the heats and lane change periods. The races ran smoothly and efficiently and over before you knew it. Fast and friendly racing was what I found at Pacific Slot Car Raceway! I met some fantastic people and fellow racers and was treated like one of the group. I'd like to thank you all for that! I'd also like to thank Jim for agreeing to put this together! I had a blast!

I spent a lot of time practicing on that track before they ran the first race on it at Slot Car Central. It paid off, I won!  After that race, Jim Daniels dominated.  I wonder what ever happened to the Demon track. That sucker was huge!

If you can't find what you need from Bill Bostic or Bob Nakamura, Jim's website is a good source for parts.  He's honest and fair.

I raced on that track many, many times when it was at Slot Car Central. It is a fun track to race on.

I too use to race on that track alot when it was at raceway usa.... I started working there when I was 11 years old and would help with parts or cleaning the tracks among other tasks in order to get extra money to race or use my time worked to put towards new parts or cars. Definitely one of my favorite memories was growing up at a slot car track
