Yes, this race was run on a temporary course set up around the Tacoma
Dome, a venue that temporarily served as the home for the Seattle
Supersonics while the Seattle Center Coliseum was being renovated into
the current KeyArena.

There is a picture of Derrike Cope's #79 from this race on his website
on the Winston Cup pre-1988 page.

I was there. It was an exciting event. A lot of people thought it might
become like a Northwest version of Long Beach. Too bad it did not. It
was a neat circuit and the racing was good.

This was the first-ever street course race for the NASCAR Winston West
Series. Fittingly it was fan favorite Northwest veteran racer Hershel
McGriff who took the victory as the championship-bound racer bested
Washington's own Derrike Cope for the checkered flag. McGriff of course
knew a thing or two about racing on public roads, he won the inaugural
Carrera Panamericana across Mexico in 1950 (more than three decades
before this one).
