Rusty Wallace race experience, South Sound Speedway, Rochester, Wa…read more Purchased a Groupon for a chance to "drive a nascar". Once purchased, you find that on short tracks you get to drive a late model style car. Completed my experience on Sunday October 6, 2014. Pros: Well organized, very safe, cars are set up good, location was good. Cons: you won't go fast, they yell at you the entire time you're on the track, if you have ever driven on a racetrack or have any drivers training, don't bother! Experience is not what's advertised. The hour long "drivers training" is really 20 minutes of how if you don't follow their strict rules they will kick you out. Fair enough, this can be dangerous. Then 20 minutes about how you're really not going to drive fast, disgusted as training. I understand if they didn't take safety precautions the cars would all be wrecked and probably a lot of hurt people. My issue is you have to coast through the turns and accelerate in the straights, but they use cones to mark where you can step on it and have to slow down. I estimate you coast on about 60% of the track. If you don't follow the rules, they will kick you out. In my case we had a VERY slow driver, so I got to follow him for much of my 10 laps. Why, you can only pass when they say and in the straights. Again, I know this is for safety. They have a "personal spotter" for each driver. We had one for three cars and they yelled commands constantly, but most of the commands I didn't know who they were talking to, even though we had car numbers. My recommendation: if you have never driven remotely fast or only owned a slow car, this is for you. Or just do the ride along experience, they rip it for you in a real NASCAR. The cost is probably in line since the cars are expensive, but you still don't get to drive fast, so keep that in mind. Oh, DON'T bother with the insurance unless you are a really bad driver. It's so regulated you would have to purposefully wreck the car. It's an easy $60 in their pocket.

When running this track the thing that struck me was that even if you have an "off" you're not as likely to destroy your car - the runoff areas look pretty well designed. There are garages for rent which is really nice in the PacNW. :) Would be nice to have more access for spectating/photography but other than that if you've got the need for speed - connect with one of the groups that organize track days here and have a great time! Recently visited on a wet day. It's slower but you also learn more about the limits of adhesion and how your car behaves at the limits. More importantly for me it made for some cool photo opportunities.

From a safety standpoint they have continued to improve and maintain the asphalt track, guard rails, grass, pedestrian access and striping. All a testament to management's concern for the safety of both participants and spectators! KUDOS! I have never been here but what there wasn't a medical emergency team on site in full readiness, I believe it's Mason County FD - but not certain. In addition, at larger events the Mason County Sheriff's are present and hopefully won't ever have to be called into action.

Decided to support my local hobby shop and maybe get some pointers from the staff. Google reviews looked decent. We walked in and the old dude just looked at us. No greeting. No welcome in, how you doing. I eventually said how you doing. Just and ok he says. I proceed to tell him I'm new to RC and just bought my first car. No response. Just a blank stare. Hmm ok I think. Well I need some nitro and glow plugs. How many? 2, 3,10, 15, he says in a short, unfriendly tone. Dude had no customer service skills. As I made my debit payment he glared at my wife and our baby. Maybe he doesn't like our brown skin kind in his store. Who knows? He was rude and made us feel uncomfortable and unwanted in his store. I would've been a repeat customer. I have a nitro car and buying an electric 6s car this week. I'm sure I'll need extra parts and batteries and a charger. Tacoma RC Raceway will never get a penny of that business. I'll buy online and not have do deal with a rude old dude that's ungrateful for my business. I'm a very loyal customer when I find a friendly welcoming business. That old dude was neither friendly or welcoming and made us feel very unwanted in his store. That's my experience there today and good for you if you've had a better experience.

Alan is more a host than a front man, ready to share his vast knowledge and stories to entertain as well as educate and introduce people to the world of little cars. and of course parts and accessories and cars are available for purchase. If you never have you really should. if you did you will. if you do you know: race what you like, like what you race, but above all it's supposed to be fun :-) guess I'm gonna buy at least one car when I come back.
