portland area

[oscwrestler]

anyone around portland oregon?

[86AccordLxi]

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.

[oscwrestler]

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

[bobafett]

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

Alex

[bobafett]

AND! sykart sucks compared to pats acres! its worth the drive, and the money. 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).

[Bass Man]

Why can't you guys come down here!!

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

[2ndGenGuy]

Oh man, I would totally drive to Pats Acres. That looks so badass.

[ghettogeddy]

damn 25 bucks for 12min session lol i could spend a grand there in a day lol

[86AccordLxi]

Yeah, Sykart for members is only $10/race...

Alex

[ghettogeddy]

Yeah, Sykart for members is only $10/race...

Alex

thats the one in tigard, OR right the track there looks like a lot of fun same with pats but fn expensive over there lol

[86AccordLxi]

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

Alex

[2ndGenGuy]

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

[86AccordLxi]

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

[oscwrestler]

i've been to malibu once and i didnt have my license so i had to race with this 7 year old kid that kept running me off the track. i got kicked out and swore to never go back

[MessyHonda]

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

[Xybris]

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.

[oscwrestler]

i get ripped for mine all the time. but once i get some money fuck with it it'll be the best sleeper ever.

[Xybris]

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

[bobafett]

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

[MessyHonda]

i get ripped for mine all the time. but once i get some money fuck with it it'll be the best sleeper ever.

i get that shit all the time....my co worker owns a 2000 civic ex...and he took me on the lunch but i smoked the shit out of him...he was telling me he took on an evo....i bet the evo driver didnt have his pedal down at all..haha

[88accordhatchdx]

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]

haha yeah. i think an evo is pretty idiot proof so the guy must have not really been racing lol.

[Nospeed]

hahahaha bit<hes!! i'm back. well... not really. portland meet? hell yeah. i'm down with or without a 3g. Chris, Alex.... whats up guys??!! i'm working with Rockcord who has pursuaded me to get back into this mess. haha! anywho... yeah, ptown i'm down.

[Rockcord]

id be down if the dates line up! I will probably roll 2gee up if i don't have my Starion running or another 3gee by then,lets defiantly get a location down, have some fun!
