Re: New track for NASTE 2009 race schedule.

Hello Rick, I think either one of our other members or I talked with you some time back. Anyway, I remember hearing about your track, I just failed to contact you. We would love to schedule a race on your track for our 2009 racing season. We usually start up sometime in September. I will plan on coming up for your race on the 20th and we can discuss it further. Would you mind emailing me your address and directions? My email address is; wb0s@hotmail.com   Thanks!  ---------------Bill

Hey there Rick.  Welcome to our site.  If you click on the [img]tag link below it will show you how to add an image.  If you do not have external web space somewhere to post the pictures, contact me directly and we'll get you all fixed up.  What sort of cars will you be running on the 20th?

Re: New track for NASTE 2009 race schedule.

Thanks Kidvolt,

I emailed Bob two pdf files with pictures of the track and a set of rules we have been running and will be running for any non-NASTE event. For those we will run the NASTE rules of course. Like I told Bob in the email we will be running the GTR and Indy Car classes. The track will open at 2 PM for practice, tech inspection and qualifying at 4:30, GTR at 5:30 and Indy Car at 7 pm. The address of Cape Horn Speedway (my house) is:

431 Hoffman Road
Washougal, WA.

You can get directions on Google or MapQuest or get a copy from Bob. The specs for the GTR and Indy Car classes are listed below. Keep in mind that the GTR is a first for us so I will have some GTR painted bodies on hand.
