And just like that, 2022 is gone and 2023 is here! And with the new year, comes some changes for Racer on Rails that have been in the works for several months.
We’ve moved to Pacific Raceways!
Starting tomorrow (Tuesday, January 3, 2023) we will be fully operating out of our new location at Pacific Raceways. We are in the new commercial buildings as you enter the Pacific Raceways main paddock on the left in bays 115, 117 and 119. There are two buildings – a “blue one” and an “orange one”. We are right in the middle of the “blue one”. Signs above the bay doors will be going up in January.
Official Address:
31001 144th Ave SE, Suite 115
Kent, WA 98042
We couldn’t be happier or more grateful for the new space and the multiple years of work Pacific Raceways and Proformance Racing School have done to get the development to this milestone. For those who have been to other major tracks across the country, having an ecosystem of automotive and motorsport companies on-site is invaluable.
The space is a big upgrade as we more than doubled the available indoor space to ~5,500 square feet. This will enable us to grow the team, add new race technicians (spoiler alert!), offer indoor storage, finally get our AWD dyno running in a dedicated garage bay (119) and all while being located right where our customers want to be… the race track!
Phone number, email and everything else stays the same. We will be setting up shop equipment throughout the month and kicking off a mezzanine construction project where we’ll have a dedicated customer lounge area, parts inventory room, clean room for engine assemblies and conference rooms. Crossing our fingers that this will be completed sometime in the spring/summer.
Welcome Tyler Mayer, Race Technician!
Tyler joins the team as our new race car technician and brings a wealth of experience and talent working on high performance cars in the Seattle area. Everything from alignments, corner balancing/setups to full custom fabrication projects, Tyler has worked on many projects.
But wait, there’s more! Tyler has been competitively drifting for the past 6 years, is Formula Drift Prospec Licensed, has been a drift instructor for the past 3 years and is an avid simulator driver/racer. We couldn’t be more happy to welcome Tyler to the team. He can not only work on almost any aspect of a race car but he has an in-depth understanding of what we’re trying to accomplish with motorsports.
Welcome, Tyler!
