I'd say we should go hit up some bars in Astoria on Friday night.

Theres not a lot in the way of quality bars in Astoria but there are a couple great places to hang out and drink amazing beer. Fort George Brewery is/was my standard watering hole. If they have the Czech Pilsner on draft make sure u drink several. Its amazing.

Bow Picker for lunch is a must if u like fish and chips.

If u need more info about astoria just let me know, as up til recently I called it home. I do miss it a lot.

Second the Bowpicker recommendation! Some of the best fish and chips I've ever had.

Also I would recommend taking 47 to 202 to get out there, it's a way more interesting drive than sitting behind logging trucks and lifted pickups towing boats on 26.

BRZPDX · 05-15-2014, 07:12 PM

Damn that sounds so good, Josh we are going to this fish and chips place now.

I would, but my FRS is up on jack stands tore apart atm getting the next phase of my build done this weekend. Crossing my fingers I should have it all done by sunday.

Decay107 · 05-17-2014, 10:10 PM

Great time today and the weather in the afternoon turned out perfect! Once I finally got heat in my tires (and stopped getting lost

) I ended up turning in a 49.3 which was quite a good improvement from my 68 second (soaking wet) first run of the day.

They were totally OK with it, there was a guy there with a 400+ HP S13 who was valiently trying to do the entire course without straitening (pretty sure he accomplished it too)

I took 308 pictures today so if anyone wants pictures of their car let me know. For those of you going tomorrow good luck. I was in it for only Saturday. On the second set before the sun decided to come out and I decided I needed to leave early I turned in a 49.428. I know I could have done better but I'm there to have fun not compete. Everyone improved even my lady I brought. I'll post one picture of each of us to here from the 308 I took soon.

stockysnail · 05-18-2014, 01:27 AM

Here's the pics of each of the BRZ and FR-S drivers except myself. My lady was driving my car so you can at least see it even though I'm not in it.

I have full size originals if anyone wants any. I took pics of other non-86er cars as well if interested. The guy in the grey BRZ isn't on the forums yet but I gave him the club business card.

I'm pretty sure in that picture I'm entirely lost. Damn though, with the bridge in the back that is an awesome pic. Glad something could come out of that run.

BRZPDX · 05-18-2014, 11:00 AM

Thanks for the pics Josh. My time was 50.112 after it started to dry up. I finally got the course then had to leave.. The morning was pretty challenging, and not working the course makes it difficult without maps.

Relearning the car all over again lolz.

Thatruth2001 · 05-18-2014, 01:34 PM

Great time and lots of fun, but too many damn people besides the FR-S and BRZ crew. Great place to hold an autoX then PIR. Packwood in June. . . . Hopefully some folks decide to attend. Final and best time 47.843

stockysnail · 05-18-2014, 03:10 PM

I made 4 copied of the pictures I took onto a CD if @BRZPDX @Thatruth2001 want to come over today to pick the disc up. @Decay107 will be coming over around 6-7pm when I'm installing my old Nameless exhaust onto a fellow club member's car from the Seattle area at my place.
