Works for me With any luck, I'll be checking into the KOA on Monday, too, around 6PM or so.

Same here, if all goes as planned.

First ferry off the island, wait at border, flat out all the way south.

[Pontiacdad]

flat out all the way south.

The record for speeding tickets to wcbf stands at 2......Washington is nasty for patrol cars and ever changing limits

[2000Silverbullet]

I'm taking the 7:30 am ferry at Saltery Bay on Monday.
That will put us in Vancouver by Noon.
Border crossing should put us on I-5 by 2:00 pm.
Another three hours and we are staying in Cascadia at the Best Western by dinner time.

Tues should take us about four hours drive and be in Corvallis after lunch.

[2000Silverbullet]

......Washington is nasty for patrol cars and ever changing limits

You got that right.

"Didn't you see me, boy!?! You were doin 70 in a 60 zone! Oh, sorry officer, but I'm just a Canadian tourist and not familiar with the ticket zones and I had my Cruise Control set.
Ya, there was another Maroon Bonne that I ticketed just minutes ago. He wasn't using his Cruise Control.

OK, I'll just give you a warning, but slow down and enjoy your day.

[Hans]

Good News, I might actually be racing at least on thursday. Uhaul 800 miles is less than $400 so I will probably take the risk.

Yes, I will be running an unusually large pulley most likely.

My GTI only has provisions for my tow hook on the front IIRC.... And I doubt that Travis has something to tow you with as well lol...

I wouldn't on a half popped piston.. Buy a longblock in Oreygun, and do it on mod day! Gotta get the record for engine swap back to the midwest/west!

LOL. I talked to a guy from SEACGP who put 160,000 miles on his motor and hundreds of track passes with a popped piston, I've been being very hard on it and carefully watching everything lately and it appears as if nothing ever happened

I had this happen to me 5 years ago on #6 cylinder. I just replaced the plug and have put over 160,000 miles and hundreds of trips down the track, so far no problems (knock on wood :D ) anyway you may get lucky like me and get several years out of it, you never know.

But yeah, $400 includes a u-haul truck and a trailer.

Yah, two speeding tickets in my entire life and both of them were in Washington.

But that was in my younger, speedier days.

[JMH1950]

Bill, if you can find the time between now and then, could you make sure that the local parts store has front struts in stock for my car? And maybe make an appointment at the allignment place? And the tint shop?

And would it be alright to have a few things shipped to your place?

I should be at the KOA by Monday evening unless something happens. Tuesday for sure even if we have to walk.

Thanks

[MadMike]

Unconfirmed:
MadMike = 03 SSEi - Mike and Kevin,.. Kelsey? & Scott? - KOA38?

my car is still in the shop.. and is gonna cost about $2250 so.. I'm unfortunately unable to make it..
i knew it was a bad idea to race (modded motor + stock trans + drag radials = I'm boned)
i did three great passes tho! ill try and get my *dang* camera to work so i can post the timeslips

BUT ill try hard to make it next year

[2000Silverbullet]

Oh Mike, Sorry to hear you can't make it.

Why didn't you wait until the Meet to trash the trani.

[MadMike]

Oh Mike, Sorry to hear you can't make it.

Why didn't you wait until the Meet to trash the trani.

got trigger happy

[SSEimatt93]

If everything goes well, I will be checking into Bills for a night or two on the 19th, We're usually there early incase we have to pull and engine or something.
hahahah

[driverjohn2005]

<--- getting VERY ANTSY!!!!!

O'Neil and Nicole, I'll have a spare room with a queen bed at my house if you wanted to sleep here istead of a hotel ;-)

[PontiacMom]

You don't mind if we crash at your place?? We will have Andrew with us too, of course he would love to see you, and show you his moves on Rock Band

[Cujo]

Newbie here from Idaho! Got hooked up with Jared and his local gang and he told me about this. Sound interesting but what options would still be available for a hotel?

[petraman]

Oh man, am I stoked! I can't wait!!!!

Question... Does anyone have any experience with e-tickets? I guess that's how I'm getting my tickets, but I have absolutely no clue how I obtain them. I called priceline and all they said was that each airline had different procedures... ok... Anyways, I've only flown a few times by myself, and all of them were with paper tickets... So, yeah, anyone know what I need to do to get my tickets? TIA!

[2000Silverbullet]

E-tickets are for Flights booked on line and then they e-mail you the confirming information with reference number and schedule. You print and take that to the terminal for your flight passes.

Might be too late for some hotels. You will have to phone them on their toll free numbers. Google for their numbers. We stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Corvallis.

You'd think that two weeks before the flight they'd at least mention that... thanks
