After talking with everyone who made the Sports Car Formal it's clear that we've been traveling a bit far for our drives, especially given the weather. So for January I think we should mix it up a bit. I propose we travel the most nut ball route from one end of Lake Washington to the other.

Snow Flake Special

I'd like some help figuring out which roads to include. I've several in mind, but not quite enough to make the whole rout interesting. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Even if they're a bit out of th way. General boundaries are the area surrounded by I-5 and I-405. We can fudge a bit though, if you know of REALLY good one just outside the lines. I've never been fond of coloring inside the lines any how.

 

why drive on freeway we should find route in city so we can bring the noise. then hit up back roads

 

I like the 908 road inbetween 405 and 90, the eastside isn't a very good place to want to take a group of sports cars out unless you are planning on just doing a cruise, lemme know what you decide on I'm down and live in kirkland.

 

Freeway is definately to be avoided, except perhaps a short stint 'cause one potential road is only accessible via freeway.

The plan is to use surface streets and back-roads as much as possible.

 

Well, we're up to 12 cars so far. Who else is going to join the fun?

 

I might go.... I'll know more when the final day / time is locked in.

 

i hope to get my fb done by then when is it?!!?

 

Yea I am down, Just need to know a time and day.

 

I would like to do it if its anywhere around yakima, seattle, or olympia! let me know!!!!!

 

28 January. Meeting between 10 and 10:45, leaving at 11. Don't have a route yet, or a meeting place. I'll have a better idea by the end of next week. I usually have a route planned fairly well in advance, but the in-city format is a bit of a change. It'll either be a Renton/Tukwilla area meet and Lynnwood area finish, or the other way 'round.

 

just like to see the road and i might be there.

 

If I dont have an open house, I may go.

 

this sounds fun, i like the side street idea get to show off the cars more keep me posted..

 

All right, after much exploring followed by map studying to get the road names right, the route is finally done. It's a complex one, so study up.

And if that's not exciting enough, we now have more than 30 cars registered for this drive. We'll have to figure something out to prevent cars getting separated from the group, and to avoid drawing too much attention.

 

so i read the site are we just talking about chillin and just driving or are we talking about a race type of thing, where 90% of the time we are hitting tirple dig's

 

No race. Hitting trips on these roads would be down right reckless. The only semi safe bit for that would be the I-90 bridge, and come on, freeway speeding is pointless. Anyone can step on the gas and point the wheel straight ahead.

Don't get me wrong, there are some places to get a bit spirited, but this crew doesn't really race. We drive fast where and when it's safe, but we don't compete. We just enjoy regular spirited drives together.

 

count me in. Keep us posted on whats going to happen.

 

im in i live by portland oregon, my car is supposed to be fixed by then and i fly back in from vegas that weekend so it would be great i would also like to meet some of you guys since im new to this rotory obsession, its taken me 10 years to get my ride. well anyways let us know time and place for sure. thanks everyone. we should plan a ride down here we got some sweet coastal runs that are nice. id be down for a big bbq at my house or at the end of the run. let me know !!!

 

my car should be finished in a week or two and I have a friend with a E30 that wants to join the drive.

 

hey what up guys.... Im Nate and new to the Club. I just got an RX7 but my main ride is a Cosmos Eunos but having trouble getting it legal to drive here. I'm gonna try to make it to the next meet/drive with my fc though.. I used to be into DSM's but just getting into the fc's
hope to see some serious machines there. Peace out.

 

woW! you have to bring ur cosmos for sure.. Did you do the carbon fiber muffler bearings upgrade? or how about the 45 lb punany injectors?

 

lol i was thinking about doing the cf muffler bearings to my ride too um i think its from the company called bs or something like that lol jk

 

omg carbon fiber muffler barrings look so good on JDM cars

 

The maps are done. Do to the recent weather, I had to do them completely online, so the cool feature I was hoping to introduce will have to wait for next month. The links to the map PDF's are at the top of the directions on this page.

Hey guys. in case you all didnt know. TooShort_88 is my little brother. And he can tend to get a little fruity at times. No the carbon fiber muffler bearings come stock on the cosmos as you all know.. LOL and ya we will be at the next drive. oh and everyone will be just as jealous as I am once they see the red Turbo RX tooShort_88 picked up for $300. Yes $300.00. The guy who sold it was an idiot and needed money for cheeseburgers. I might come in the convert. well have fun. I'm off to work now
