hey i live north of seattle too lol, well how bout alki beach!? pretty good location right? and nice view of the space needle

 

I would vote for something new. All of the events sound fun though.

Here is St Helen's 2 years ago.

I think that there should be another Helen's run. I would be in for that in the summer some time. I would have an open seat for filming too

 

I'd be game for another trip to St. Helens in the future. Definatly need to make sure the roads are not closed prior to going. I need to finish my camera mount before the trip!

 

and hopefully this time no one will lock up their brakes and almost drive off a cliff.

 

The more that yall talk about the St. Helens meet, the more I like it. Thanks for the video Z-Beater. That looks pretty cool man.

 

BWAHAHAHAHA !!!!

 

Here are a few other vids from the last 2 St. Helens events.

<Link 3 2007> Long and unedited.

 

i like the mt st helens idea and the auto x idea. how much smokie (cops) is up at st helens cuz i really like touge driving. ps im not signed up for apple blossom and me and a couple more guys are still gonna go to just meet and greet ppl

 

Well strike up another for the Mt. St. Helens trip. Maybe we should start thinkin of a date maybe. Does anyone else like the other ideas? Anymore ideas?

 

Once the dry warm asphalt starts appearing, so will the ideas and drives... Planning a few solid events is a great idea.. and obviously there are a few in the works... ABF is definitely going to be the top turn out in the region... but it seems that loading up the days with impromptu drive last summer really got me through the season last year.... Get yourself a buddy list on your cell... and just come up with ideas and dates and post em up! Some of the best drives ive been on were on the fly with a few close friends.... BUT i will offer one more MUST do....

(yes this link is for SSX, i know)

The best driving, hands down, on the west coast can be found in LA county... coupled with a road trip of epic proportions...there are so many touge roads to run in that area... its just stupid....

Also look out for Kris and the TWR drive series as well... very fun stuff!

Also keep your eyes peeled for local South Sound Sunday drivers runs... these were a blast last year.

Hope to see you ABF disco.... should be a blast... ill be the one with the un-cool car.

 

anyone want to go do Mountain Loop Highway up past granite falls i think it would be fun there are a lot of spots we could stop off and BBQ and just hang out at for the day its a fun drive

Mt. St. Helens it to far for me

 

yeah i was plaing on showing up late friday and just walk around and chill on saturday

 

yeah the winding road is a good group i have done 2 drives with them i always had fun. i was always the only fc there both times too. i just wish i had my coilovers by abf

 

I'm not really a fan of Mtn Loop... It's not that great...

 

its something to do lol..

is there anything else in snohomish county??

 

Not really... and that includes RX7 owners that show up to meets. So good luck getting a meet north of King County, more specifically Seattle. Good roads are in King County for sure

 

i think we should have the meet at st helens in like early/ mid june like 2nd weekend or so so ther is no cahnce of some freak snow/hail/typhoon/tsunami/apoclopise (knock on wood) and the weather is nice

 

Hey what is this mtn loop?

 

its just a really long road from granite falls to darrington

its not a touge or anything buts its cool with good scenery runs along the stillaguamish river i go hiking and camping up there in the summer

 

The Road is still washed out at Barlow pass so you can only go half way, And would not recomened going past there even if you could because it goes to gravel. I had fun doing some WRC type stuff up there when I still had My Subie, but Tim is right not much other than that. Big IV-Ice caves is kinda cool, but I don't know if they replaced the bridge it washed out last winter... So if we did that hike we would have to walk through about 1' deep water, provided we do it in August... The only other thing up there is Monte Cristo but that is about 5 miles in so too much to walk... If you really want to do a Sonhomish meet my suggestion would be to meet in Monroe and then Drive down the Valley to Snoqualmie Falls... just an idea. Good Luck planning a meet up north.


On a different note, does anyone have a map of the route that was driven on the last Helens run?

 

I'm trying to get my shift in gear for ABF too.... got some work to get done before then though.

 

I'd go to the meet in olympia but ive already got plans, Apple Blossom sounds good to me, maybe ill have my full exhaust on and my speakers installed by then.. that would be pretty badass but i guess we shall have to see lol

 

I was always under the impression the Mt. St. Helens run was an annual thing...I couldn't make it the past year but I made the prior. Its a really fun run with the huge wide highway and lack of cops.

I also like the BSCC cuz I visit Port Orchard often too...I'll keep up with this to see when I can meet up with you guys again.

 

soooo is this thing going to happen?
