Help, - Advice needed
Going to Seattle & Vancouver in July/Aug this year, any motor racing going on at this time in the area,
read about - Vancouver Indy, does it still run and when.
Hiring a 29ft (oh dear - how long) motorhome and traveling around down from Seattle. So Also any motor museums or other sites worth looking out for.

Neil, my better half goes back and forth to Seattle a fair bit. Whilst her priorities were not motor racing, she's visited the Seattle Museum of Flight http://www.museumofflight.org/ (http://www.museumofflight.org/) which was, apparently, well worth a visit.
Other Seattle area places to visit include the Boeing factory at Everett http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices/aboutus/tours/ (http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices/aboutus/tours/)
and the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum http://www.thunderboats.org/ (http://www.thunderboats.org/) - Lake Washington was used from the 30's to the 70's for hydroplane races (multi engined monsters such as Gar Wood's Miss America boats and Slo-Mo-Shun)
