Default Usual track day crowd?

I was wondering if there is a usual group of PNW's that run at Pacific. I used to track a mustang some 5 years or so ago. Looking to track the vette next year. Having been out of the loop for awhile are their any changes in getting signed up/tech requirements and what group is best to sign up with?

Thanks.

Also is it cool to list parts in the regional forum?
I have a couple of 17" replica wheels with drag radials on them I'm sure someone somewhere could use that I'd like to sell cheap.

Evil, your Pat's co-worker yeah?

There are a # of us that actively track on here, but not many.

I typically pick and choose events with:
ProFormance - your probably remember the requirements, they haven't changed dramatically.
Corvette Marque Club of Seattle - membership not req'd but appreciated.
Rose City Corvette Club (@ PIR) - membership not req'd

And still run from time to time with:
Alfa
Porsche
BMW
all of which haven't changed their requirements much other than the typical updates.

The people I know here who actively track are kentz06, longdaddy and myself. There are others of course.

I actually didn't make it to nearby Pacific this year. I had too much fun at ORP and in NoCal

ccj's list is pretty exhaustive. Add Prodrive in Portland and motorsportsreg.com for the smaller groups.

Another organization to consider is Palatov Motorsports. I joined them for the first time for two days at Oregon Raceway Park in September. They typically alternate 30 minutes of bikes and then 30 minutes of cars. What I really liked was they allowed a pass anywhere with a point!

Of the 12 tracks I have driven, ORP has become my favorite.

Fixed.

Yep, work with Pat.

Hopefully I can get my plate clear enough to keep up with these groups and know when and where something is going to happen.
I was going to try this year but it just didn't happen.

All my winter mod money went to my winter beater A6 though.

Thanks for the info. I'll be checking around for some track time.

I'll most likely run at least one day with Proformance next year. I ran my G37 with them twice a year ago, and my GTO with them once a couple years before that.
