just drive carefully if you don't hear anything from me. I think I am going to just do it on Meadowlake so I'll call out logtrucks, campers , etc. get bunched back up at the dirt portion or something like that.The first portion of that road is what I'm more concerned about anyways Hey Cart do you think I could get Mazi car sick if he plays navigator for me?

Hey..I got my Pineapple sleeves installed today..8 more horse baby..I also got my Apexi AFC coming, so when I get it tuned next week, hopefully before the Vette club day on the 15th, I'll be able keep ahead of him on the straights! Let's get it on!! Hey, you are coming to my Apex Restoration party aren't you?
ATTENTION!! Anyone reading this..I am having a party at my shop (the meeting place for the MAzda drive) this friday at 7..If anyone wants to come out , give me a call or post that you will be there. BBQ, 16 foot projected X-box racing, etc...good times!

small update

well there is going to be a revision to the route. instead going all the way to Wheeler we are going to turn off at Miami River rd right before Garibaldi and drive it up to hwy 53 to about Mohler.

another idea I have is that I don't have really any good ideas to stop in Seaside ,I thought instead we could drive to the camp18 resturant on 26 and get a bite to eat.they have a huge parking lot for us to get some pictures of our cars after the run. anybody else have any other suggestions?

Address is 162 NE 22nd, Rockaway Oregon.
Its on the north end of town, just before the high school. Theres pleanty of parking and a huge deck, 40 cars would be pushing it . We are on Cresent lake, which is a subsiduary of Lake Lyle.

So when headed north bound on 101, when passing through Rockaway, there will be a huge lake on your right, about 4 or 5 more blocks later you will see a green building on the right, called the Rockaway Community center. Also on the left is the Sandial hotel. Turn right. We are the last house on that road, with a huge deck, its blue.

This is going to rock....I can't wait. Did you see Spaces' route changes? What do you think? I have been stuck at my shop since November and have not driven my FC more than 20 miles in a stretch in years..literally. I have alot of track miles built up, but not general cruising around miles in a lonnnnng time. This will be great. I guess I'll pony up for a trip permit since my tags have been expired since 03!! Anyone out there wanna let me register it out of the DEQ zone?! I put a cat on it a couple weeks ago and went to take it thru..the 1.2 max number came out at 6.8!! Ooopsie..running a little rich I guess! Thanks alot Island...sold me a bad cat!! j/k! Maybe it's that there are no emissions left on the car..it's all about weight right? The way I look at it, I drive it less than 2000 miles a year..so it adds up to less than if I drove it your standard 15K...At least that's how I justify it to myself!
