Could alternate between Portland and Seattle annually. This year Oregon, next year northern Washington

down for that idea. I'm not to sure how i feel about doing a 3 hour drive 1 way tho.

wasn't the last meet closer to Seattle? Anyway I'm down for whatever and can help plan.

Oregon Raceway Park, track days, Auto X, Swap meet, and cruiz up the Columbia Gorge.

I dont recall. If it was. Maybe by like 10 minutes. But what ideas do you got?

THIS!!!

Although we did look into the rental costs for a private track day last year and found the overall price to be far too high.

Depends on how it's set up. I organized a private track day 2 years ago for the west coast Mini Cooper convention and it ended up being $200 a car for the whole day on the track.

I'll look into it.

What is Forum Fest?

where a bunch of cars meet up. Like cars and coffee except bigger.

When and where?

June 27th, Kent Washington.

Lots of imports from Vancouver BC come down. The craze for skylines is real.

Thank you.

So there is always Track Day/Cruise. the trickiest part will be finding a location willing to house the event. Assuming we get 40-50 cars it shouldn't be too bad but more than that we should look into getting a private location set up. Also things to think about are sponsors, giveaways, etc I'm sure a lot of us have stuff we can throw in for raffles and giveaways but its always nice to have Vendors/Shops in on the festivities.

Well, I just talked to Brenda at ORP and the cost has gone up quite a bit since I rented the track.
Weed day event with insurance, Medics, and 5 corner workers, Open running all day with lunch break between noon and 1, $5900

Weekend would be $8400.

Yes, that's a lot of money
BUT
50 cars would be $168 a car on a weekend, something to think about anyway.
Organize a 2 day event with a starting points at Seattle, Portland, and Calif, on Friday or Sat, and have a track day on Sunday.
