The Track

Spokane County Raceway is a 2.5 mile road course. It consists of the longest straight in the Northwest, some challenging medium-speed corners with elevation change, and some tight technical segments. The pavement is very smooth, and consistent, making it a great facility for lapping or learning. Among drivers, SCR is routinely ranked a favorite. The track surface is also great in the wet.

To get to track, take the US 2 exit from I-90, and travel 4 miles west to the first traffic light at Hayford Road. Turn right on Hayford, and go 1.2 miles, straight through one traffic light, and past the Northern Quest Casino. Turn left into the Spokane County Motorsports Park entrance. Follow the entrance road nearly 1/2 mile, as it winds around to the pit area. Be careful entering, as you will cross the track surface to get to the paddock.
