Mt Rainier/Sunrise Park Scenic Drive - 6/27
Some of you who came to the 86 bbq this past weekend at tacoma may have heard about a driving group that exclusively composed of responsible driving enthusiasts who regularly go out for long, fun, scenic tours around Washington. So here’s a quick introduction.
The group is composed of a diverse spectrum of drivers and vehicles. From the elderly who usually just like to cruise in Jag or Fiat to spirited hooligans who lead the pack and sweep the roads with GTRs, Porches and Ferraris. The point is, you can drive at your own comfort level and no one is going to judge you. The group pride itself on having a fun and pleasant driving experience while uphold safety and constraint.
I have been with the group for over a year now and every drive I’ve gone on has been spectacular! The view and the roads are always amazing and so are the people.
I've received consent from the group staffs to invite a few 86ers from this forum to tag along. I will be only bringing 5 people this coming up trip and it will be first come first serve.
The requirement is simple.
- Know you and your car's limit
- Leave the ego at home
- Ready for a long but fun drive
- Vehicle is in reliable working condition
- FRS Radio (doesn't have to be an expensive one)
Schedule: Saturday, June 27, 2015 12:30pm - 6:30ish pm
Start Point: Enumclaw, WA
