Only thing is, good luck finding 50 guys who would actually be interested in tracking their cars. Last year I think we had 10-12 interested depending on cost.

Or maybe we just need 30 or so guys willing to fund a track day for the 15-20 of us that actively do take our vehicles to racetracks :D

Just a heads-up guys, I am currently in the process of securing an area for us to have a large meet. The location would be between Seattle and Portland.

This meet would require a 30 car commitment on my part (which I dont think should be an issue) as our regular monthly meets range from 8-14 cars in the surrounding areas.

The ideal plan is to have other groups have "pre-meets" say the Portland group @Chen organize in a local area then meet down at the designated meet spot. There will be other groups that will meet as well. For example @Missy will take care of the Tacoma area then meet at the designated meet spot. Same goes for Seattle, etc.

When all the groups have joined at the designated "meet spot". We will convoy slowly and safely to the area where we will possibly have food, a little car show consisting of our cars, meet and greet, raffles, and just plain old conversing with owners.

This is still all in the works however. I like the idea of everyone bringing parts that they are interested in selling like the "swap meet" deal so that will be incorporated as well.

Ideally, i'm trying to get this to be an 86 meet like they have in California,

I don't want to disclose the area quite yet, like i said, it's still in the process.

Sounds good.

Wait @Missy is still alive?

I'd love a track day but agree we wouldn't be able to get enough of us. I would say an autox event would be easier and cheaper to get a spot for and am up for that as well. I have various trinkets I'd be happy to give to a raffle. I have various new shirts, a few hats, and other knick knacks I've collected from various companies.

Maybe we could raffle off my car as the grand prize. $100 each and sell at least 250 tickets. All the money would go to me of course, or at least the first 250 tickets sold. ;)

I am down for going to Kent... ~Bellevue here :D

Like @humfz she abandoned the nw section.

How about you guys just come down for hin and we'll just say that's our mega meet. :thumbup::thumbup:

How about a mid point with a Scenic Drive between Seattle and Portland. Like South Bend, WA.

What do you think?

I think that sounds very fun!

Lol and the people who don't wanna track?

the hard part about organizing a track day is that you have to worry about the people bailing at the last minute, or the people who commit but don't pay. its much easier to set up a big meet at a location that is free to stop at than it is to get people to show up to something that they have to pay for. Cruises or things like cars and coffee get better turnouts for just that reason.

this is part of the reason I hate trying to set up meets (and why i haven't on here) for ever person who is happy there are 5 telling me how shitty of a job i did or how i could of done better or how i didn't accommodate them.

Mt. St. Helens

That is a good point. Free is always better, I think I would rather have more turnout anyway. AutoX happens like every other weekend, would be nice to have a cheap, fun, social event or drive.

As always, I'm more than happy to help if you guys need anything ;)
