52F (Northwest Regional) is just inside the 3 mile TFR ring of Texas Motor
Speedway.

As long as you call ahead of time, depart the pattern, and upon return,
obviously head directly for the airport (staying outside the TFR until the
last minute), it's OK.

3-4 major events per year. (was 1 NASCAR, next year will be 2, plus 2 IRL
races, and of course each one has the Busch or Craftsman Trucks the day
before).

I haven't heard a peep from anyone in aviation about this, but now it
appears the Northwest can't survive without a NASCAR track, and yesterday
the finalist was announced. Marysville, just a hair south of Arlington
(AWO). From the maps
(http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ABP...2002045069.jpg), it

sits
right under the straight-in for 34. It has the nearest IAPs to Everett,
making it a popular location for checkrides (it seems like you're still in
the PAE pattern when you get vectored to the intercept).

Yes, the EAA Arlington. What fun it will be when the EAA and NASCAR choose
the same weekend.

OK, so if you're thinking about the stadium TFR, they talk about there

being
only three meets per year. But once this big facility is built, the owners
will probably find other ways to use it. The LOC 34 MDA is 469 feet above
TDZE - would anyone like to hazard a guess about what it would be when the
TERPSters are done with it?

Does anyone else have experience with a NASCAR track snuggled close to

their
favorite non-towered airport?
