The Pacific Raceways Road Course is a
world-class, SCCA and NASCAR certified, 10-turn (9 turns with a "kink" in the
main straightaway), 2.25-mile course.
The 170 MPH front straight is at an
elevation of 150 feet above sea level. There is a total elevation change of 125
feet, of which 100 feet occurs in 1/2 mile, between turn 2 and turn 3B. Winding
through natural wooded terrain, it's sweeping curves and hairpin turns make it
one of the most unique and challenging courses in the United States.
In 2005 turn 9 was completely rebuilt,
with a new radius, a relaxed apex, better drainage, and all new pavement. This
project also included a catch fence protecting the corner of Grandstand A.
Visibility has been greatly increased for the racer, which should heighten
everyone’s enjoyment as cars speed through this turn.
