Sunday the 24th at 10am top parking lot at Lloyd center at the NW entrance near Nordstrom.

Wow in my opinion your nuts for coming from Tacoma to drive around Portland in the rain... I hope the rain holds off till the afternoon. I prefer the non-liquid sunshine...

See you all there!

Thumbs up

It was a good drive, could have been a little less 'liquidy' but it was pretty fun none the less, so I guess I was way off when I said '100 mi' I reset my trip odo at Kelly point park and When I got home it was about 180 miles. Yep, I burned a whole tank of premium premix too... I need to lean out my map some. Also having a wierd fuel pressure issue, erratic dropping, like the pump is flickering of then on.

Here is the one good pic I took with my phone, I know you guys took a bunch. I'm probably going to take my car out of comission for the winter and do some wiring fixes and some clean up other things.

Thanks to everyone who showed up, and I had a great time.

need a better exhuast before paint. Fell off 2 times on the drive. I got the problem fixed for now. I just had to take the clamp off so I could get it on all the way and clamp it back. where where you at. should of come play in the rain with us. sure we all had at least one butt puckering moment but no major mishaps.

Did the most epic 1 wheel peel today (Open diff) Sat and just burnt out for 20 secounds 5 feet of rubber shavings, and splattered burnt rubber all over my buddys 323. Good times. I really need to get an LSD.

thats how I'm set up right now, 2.5" strait from the header back to the "muffler" Well I guess that muffler does make a big differance from open header. What does every one else think?

Bump for the second annual 'Liquid sunshine metro rally'... or Whatever.

I will update the route, because last year, we got a little off track out on the East Side...

Thumbs up

Here is the Updated Route. Since we got a little lost out on the east side, the END will be at Willamette Park in West Linn. This was pretty fun last year and we only had a few drivers. It was a great way to see the Portland Metro area and see places that are close, but you rarely ever visit.

There are stops along the way where we can take pictures and go to the restroom and eat and chat. Also if you only wanted to do part of the drive you can meet us at any of the stops along the way although the times listed are approximate. If anyone has any suggestions for a different date or route post up...

Start @ 10am Lloyd Center Sunday October 25th

I5 North to Marine Drive

Stop #1 Kelly Point Park 10:45-11:15



Lombard, Across St. Johns Bridge, Up German Town Rd., Down Skyline Blvd to Moreland Rd? left at Dorland Rd.

Stop #2 Chevron/McDonalds in North Plains 11:45-12:30



Glencoe Rd through Hillsburrito to 219 Hillsboro Hyw head toward Newberg.

Stop #3 Jaquith Park North Parking lot in Newberg 1:15-1:45



Wilsonville Road toward Wilsonville

Stop #4 Wilsonville Memorial Park 2:30-3:00



Continue down Wilsonville Rd to Boeckman? Rd Right at Mountain Rd Left at Hoffman Rd, left at Petes Mountain Rd/Kiser Rd. to West Linn.

Stop #5 Willamette Park ~4:00



C'mon rotorheads! Let's Do this!
