Yeah, there's a handful of OR members left around here, or at least people that are close.

Zufer, bobafett, myself....that actually might be it lol. 2ndgenguy has come down a couple times, there's a couple others, too.

Justin and Matt aren't around much, haven't seen nospeed in a while, Chris (crwa) was driving a Ranger last time we saw him. Oh oh, chris (hatchback_racer) and mark have toyotas--chris has a corolla and mark has an mr2 (with a 2way, jeeeeesus). See them at most of the drift events.

We used to have one of the more active areas, but most everyone has sort of moved on now.

yeah i havent seen many people in our cars that actually look like they want to be driving them lol

Yeah there are definitely a few of us around still. We can probably organize a good summer meet I think. I would love to do a Pat's Acres meet so we can all go-kart and stay entertained instead of just sort of...... hanging out...... which can get boring and awkward depending on who knows who... lmao...

For the last meet I brought my charcoal bbq down and we met a few new people for the first time, but I think there was a total of 7 members throughout the whole day. Then we tried to go to the drag strip but it started raining. :(

Sykart is closer/cheaper to PDX, and I'm already a member ;)

AND! sykart sucks compared to pats acres! its worth the drive, and the money. :D and its closer for you anyway so stfu lol!

but I will kart at sykart if it is more convenient for most people. i don't really care where, as long as it is fun. (which is always is).

I went to Hillsborro with my TLT RC crawler a long time ago... I don't remember much.

I think it's officially in Tualatin, but it's all in the same vicinity.

Alex

The one in Tigard is Malibu Gran Prix I think. No wheel to wheel racing there AFAIK.

86AccordLxi
05-11-2008, 05:10 PM
Yeah, Malibu is 7/8 scale open wheel cars. I've never been there myself.

Sykart opened somewhat recently. We have a northwestnissans crew that goes out every thursday night :D

we tried to do a go kart thing over here...its 25 bucks for 10 laps then you got to get off and wait in line again...its worth it if you get like 30 laps in....our of my group i had the best time

yeah i havent seen many people in our cars that actually look like they want to be driving them lol

Lol! Yeah, no shit. It would be nice to actually see some well cared for 3geez in person. I would defiantly make the trip to Portland for that.

I always hear: "Dude, your car is old, you should buy a newer one."

bobafett
05-16-2008, 07:24 AM
eh before i started modding mine it got 40-44mpg, after mods i got a solid 37mpg even with cam and everything.

After pulling vac lines I got 35mpg....

Thats better than 95% of cars on the road today, so I would say driving a 3g is a good idea not a bad one. :-) especially since my current car gets only 17mpg city . :(

It pisses me off so bad when new cars with 'amazing fuel economy' only get 29mpg freeway

I vote for Pat's acres! 50 MPH karts are the only way to go. And hey I'm still around, I just don't visit this board that often since I have a K5 and Nova now.

oscwrestler
05-16-2008, 04:29 PM
haha yeah. i think an evo is pretty idiot proof so the guy must have not really been racing lol.

Nospeed
06-22-2008, 10:17 PM
so whats up? anyone hear anything about this or what??

bobafett
06-23-2008, 07:18 AM
I finally got my car running this weekend so once I get some new tires on it, and get it tuned well enough to drive on the street I will actually be able to take the 3g down to a meet!

2ndGenGuy
06-23-2008, 09:19 AM
So, does anybody want to take the lead on organizing this? Chris (bobafett) and I organized the last one, and not many people showed up. I suppose I could try again, but I don't really know any meet spots in Portland. Unless we actually wanna do some karting? What about a BBQ as well, or would we be better off just going to a restaurant to eat?

Maybe we should vote on where to kart? I'm down for Pat's Acres myself. Are there any restaurants near there? Kinda seems like it might be in BFE...

As far as a date, why don't we get one set right now. How does July 20 sound? Seems far enough out to get whatever time off you need if you work on Sunday but not so far out we forget about it. Plus it gives us a little extra time to get our cars tuned up to go! :)

bobafett
06-23-2008, 09:43 AM
So the two main choices are:

Sykart - http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=8205+SW+Hunziker+St+Tigard,+OR+97223&sll=61.270233,-118.828125&sspn=30.650387,76.992188&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr

$15 / for one 10 minute session
Optional $30 membership which includes 1 free session $10/session afterwards. Takes 4 sessions to break even with buying a membership.

-----------------------

Pat's Acres - http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=6255+S+Arndt+Rd+Canby,+OR+97013&sll=45.418696,-122.76123&sspn=0.341235,0.601501&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr

$12 mandatory license
$25 for a 12 minute session

July 20 they have supermoto races so that won't fly... but even though they are WAY more money its so much more fun! Elevation changes, a long track, and long straightaway... its just good times.

However if we do want the meet on that day we will need to race at Sykart.

2ndGenGuy
06-23-2008, 11:23 AM
Good info. How about Pat's Acres on the 27th then? That will give everybody an extra week to save up a few extra bucks so we all can make it. Then we can grab food at a nearby restaurant and have some time to BS.

Xybris
06-23-2008, 07:13 PM
In for either of those days

86AccordLxi
06-24-2008, 12:40 AM
I still say Sykart because I like to spend less, especially with all the 240 shenanigans as of late.

Alex

bobafett
06-24-2008, 05:12 AM
Yeah its 'do you want 40 minutes or 24 minutes of racing for your $60?' lol...

More places to eat in the Sykart area compared to BFE Canby...

Honestly I don't care either way - more time will be spent BS'ing than karting. :)

Nospeed
06-24-2008, 05:40 PM
i'm down either day. i'm sure rockcord is in as well... i'll talk to him tonight.

86AccordLxi
06-24-2008, 06:10 PM
Yeah, Tualatin has a few good places to eat. Bellagio's pizza is where we have our NWN meets--we were meeting at Aloha Grill which is ok if you like Hawaiian food.

Plus the general sandich/fastfood places.

Bellagios has a decent parking lot, as well.

Alex

Xybris
07-02-2008, 06:44 PM
So are we still going for the 27th?

86AccordLxi
07-02-2008, 07:44 PM
Sure, why not. That should give chris enough time to get his hoopty running well enough to make it.

Alex

bobafett
07-02-2008, 10:05 PM
lets hope! i need to wire up some brake lights lmao...

Portland is right on the washington border, so you have to cross the whole state.

Wholly not worth it lol.

i can't do the 27th... but if you guys do it that day i'll make sure my car is there somehow.

bobafett
07-07-2008, 02:27 PM
I have a mandatory family commitment that finally got scheduled that is ending up landing on July 25th-27th weekend - so I can't make it this time either. :( Happy to try for another time though. If it is a week or so later the likelihood of my car being ready is higher. :)

Chris

2ndGenGuy
07-07-2008, 02:50 PM
Yeah, I rear ended someone in my Miata that I've had for less than a month... so I can't make it either. :( Should we just reschedule?

Nospeed
07-18-2008, 07:22 PM
i'm going to throw a date out there... its a few weeks out, so it should give people enough time to schedule work and or other activities around it.

how about august 16th? its a saturday

i'm still down for the canby location... if in fact thats where we're meeting.

2ndGenGuy
07-19-2008, 11:40 AM
That seems like a decent date. Maybe I'll have the carb rebuilt in my 2gee by then so I can finally get back to driving it.

Rendon LX-i
07-19-2008, 04:48 PM

That seems like a decent date. Maybe I'll have the carb rebuilt in my 2gee by then so I can finally get back to driving it.

that would be cool man. CJ's car is toast, so he wont be driving it up there, unless its on a tow truck. :( its got a bad knock, leaking oil really bad, and possibly a blown head gasket. = ALL BAD.

as far as the location, i dunno... alex posted some info in previous posts... something about go carts and a big parking lot.

Rendon LX-i
07-25-2008, 11:19 PM

well shit i have to bail on the 16th too. i am going to be in Bend Oregon climbing South Sister and white water rafting... so yeah I won't be near Portland.

Shitty timing but this event had been planned for months we just didn't know what day everyone would have work availability until last week. So count me out yet again... god dammit!

I can go any weekend after the 16th if I can afford it after this weekend.

OH... BTW, my system is out of my car, so I can pretty much keep up with most of the 3g'z on the streets.
