Myself (@digital_assassin) and @BRZPDX and I are planning on making it a 2 day run to Vegas. On 6/12/13 (Wednesday) we will leave Portland at 9 AM sharp so the Seattle folk will have time to make it here without having to wake up too early. We will be staying the night in Reno and then continuing to Vegas on Thursday. For the Eastern OR, Eastern WA, & ID peeps lets meet in Reno on Wednesday night and then leave for Vegas at 8 AM.

Meet at my place in Tigard to roll out. There's a gas station on the way to the interstate so we can stop there and top off all the cars and grab road food after leaving my place. If enough people want to show up early, say 8:00, I'll make breakfast.

The route posted starts at my house 7934 SW Mara Ct Tigard, OR 97224. My number is (503)793-9138 if you need directions when driving.

Peppermill Reno on the 12th. Book em now and they're only $69.99 for that night.
Edit* booked my room and total with all fees and taxes came to $92.65

it totally crossed my mind lol

17 hours from Portland -> Vegas.

Im down

Man, this could be pretty epic. Maybe the NW could really represent. :)

I wish -_-

arghhh i wont have my turbo yet.....

I love vegas. Just have to convince the wife to drive there instead of flying!!!

What route would you probably take?

With GreenLight America just a couple of weeks later, it would be a pretty tough sell to the wife. Too bad the 2 events didn't line up!

If you google map the fastest way to vegas is through boise and twin falls then down through nevada to vegas total time 16hrs.

Woot! I'm in. Faces to names would be nice

I may have my Vortech SC kit stage 2 by then. Kinda iffy if I want to drive 3000 miles on a new forced induction kit though. Me and my gf is down for this but would be more fun if we can get a solid group.

I like to drive down to Redding, then cut over to Susanville and head south, but I'm open to whatever.

Are you going to be in the NW for the beginning of the trip? If not... you are kinda posting in the wrong topic.

How far is drive from Seattle to Vegas? 24 hours? no stanks. I'll just air freight my car ;)
