I would like to attend a track day and riding school next August at either Pacific Raceways in Kent near Seattle, or at Spokane Raceway Park. I'm sure both tracks are fun to ride, but I'm wondering if any NW riders on this forum have ridden both tracks, and if so, do you prefer one over the other?

Spokane would have a better chance of a dry day, and has a longer straight -- I would like to get my Sprint up to top speed just for kicks if possible, but that's a minor point -- I'm doing the track day for the corners, not the straights.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays,
Jack

Spokane is a fun track, but a little dangerous due to lack of adequate runoff areas and lots of debris around the track. It's also somewhat narrow compared to a track like Portland for example. I haven't ridden Pacific so I can't compare to that.

Here's a video from Spokane if you want to check it out (right-click and save for best results):
