Tentative Schedule
June 19, 2009
Pre-meet BBQ at my house Friday night.
If you need a place to crash Friday that is closer to Portland, my house is open to all.

Map

My house is just a little bit off the road, so just go down Cedar Flats Rd until you get about 500 feet from the end. On the right, you will see a bright blue house, turn down that gravel road, and go past the blue house. My house is the green one on the right with the U shaped driveway. We'll be leaving my house around 7:30-8:00am, so be prepared to wake up early!

Did you like my eBay "LQQK" thing that they always put on stupid auctions? Yeah, you looked, didn't you?

Anyways, I'm starting a quick thread here to see who would be interested in a mid-summer meet up for the Pacific Northwest? Anybody from elsewhere is welcome to come too, but didn't think anybody would want to drive that far.

The idea is to get a REAL meet together. Where people actually show up this time!

The ideas thus far are:

Location: Somewhere central
Things to do: BBQ, Dyno, 1/4 Mile, other idears?

I'm thinking Portland. It's central and probably the only place we'll find Dynos and/or a place to run the 1/4 mile. Seattle is not really central IMO, but I dunno.

It would be nice if someone could volunteer to host it at their house. If nobody in Portland can do it, I'd do it at my house in Olympia. There is a dyno in town, and if we can organize a group session of 10 people we can get 3 pulls for $50. I also have 2 acres where we can have a bonfire, BBQ, and enough parking. Olympia is fairly central too...

Anyways, if you're interested post up your ideas. I just kinda wanted to get the ball rolling. If you guys like the idea of meeting in Olympia, I'm all for it, there just may not be a chance to hit up the 1/4 mile, unless we meet at Pacific Raceways early in the morning.

John sound like a plan bro...we dont need the 1/4 thing. BUt would be sweet. A good photo shoot for the calander would be SWEET. I think it would be cool to be at Olympia. but lets see where it other 3geezers would like...Maybe chris house its only what a 45 min drive to portland...

[Xybris]

In for sure, Portland or Washington.

[86AccordLxi]

I don't need to see all you kids with your 100whp printouts (not you rendon haha )

It'd be better to piggyback onto a dyno day that was already happening. I'll see if I can get one on the schedule at Unnatural in Beaverton.

Plus there's late night drags in pdx on fri/sat nights, so if nothing else many weeks in the spring/summer work.

[Rendon LX-i]

Lol...i hoping for 200ish...i know i am...but alex you got me for a sec bud lol...sounds good man..let us know..I be there regradless lol...my bro leaves in portland also..so even better lol

[itzdave]

im not too far from seattle so im sure i could make the drive too!

Hey hey, it's 98whp. Don't try and make us feel good about ourselves now.

That would be wicked though if you knew when one was going to be happening. That's kinda why I thought Portland would be perfect. If the track and dyno could both happen it would be a pretty fun day. So we could do one or the other or both. What do the Friday night drags usually cost? What kind of dyno does that place have?

Looking for early / mid summer when the weather is actually nice.

im not too far from seattle so im sure i could make the drive too!

Heck yeah it's not that far! You should make it down for sure! Need some Weber power!

In for sure, Portland or Washington.

Do it!

[itzdave]

Drags are $8 to spectate, $25 to run (and I think you pay a $10 one-time fee to register your name/number for the season), so $35? Not sure if these prices are still the same, just what I remember them being.

They have a dynojet (highest whp number! lol). Usually it's 3 pulls for $35-60 (depending on what they say), w/o wideband.

[Rendon LX-i]

sounds good to me.... The last time i went to pir was awhile back and it was 35 altogether so...dyno price sound pretty good also...O man i cant wait lol...

as for host shit idk...alex do you want to host? say we do it in beaverton and since your closer maybe you'll want to. Also zeph but i dont know here he at. or chris..

[86AccordLxi]

I'm not hosting shit lol

I live an hour south, chris lives like 1.5 hrs from unnatural and zeph I'm sure is not up for hosting anything either; he's up in bellingham now, anyway.

[Rendon LX-i]

LOL...well fuck lol...well idk if john will.. Ill help out...

[2ndGenGuy]

I can do it. I don't mind at all. Unless someone comes up with a better plan, or someone else wants to volunteer. I'm sure we could organize something at HP Connection in Olympia, or Pacific Raceways is only 45 minutes from my place. We could just caravan up there.

[86AccordLxi]

There doesn't need to be a host, just a couple activities.

There's always the sykart option (indoor karting), as well. My friend is a manager there, I'll see if he could cut us a deal for a group rate.

[itzdave]

i think beaverton would prolly be a lil too far me...

[itzdave]

im down for a meet in olympia, but it would be hella closer if it was in bellingham!

[itzdave]

OH!!! cool random thought! it sould be cool if we went somewhere that required a ferry, then when we went we could have a whole ferry of 3GEEZ!!!

[2ndGenGuy]

LOL you must be new to Seattle, the way you're all excited about the ferries. That would be pretty sweet though.

[87roach]

Hey this would be pretty cool, depending on the timing and if I've got the coin I would shoot down for this.

[2ndGenGuy]

Definitely! The more the merrier!

[itzdave]

well, im from oklahoma, just got to whidbey island back in oct. but i came to seattle about a year and a half ago to see me special lady friend and we took a ferry to bainbridge island.
i just thought it would be funny as hell to see a whold ferry full of 3GEEZ. seriously, then we roll out LIKE A MOB!!! lol

[Rendon LX-i]

im down for whatever EY lol..... Either way im cool with oregon or oylmipa...cuz either way is 3 hour drive lol...so its cool for me...go carts would be sweet...ROACH i would love to see your car in person bro.

[2ndGenGuy]

[Rendon LX-i]
