Well damn. I feared this last year but this year it looks like it might be a day only event. I don't mind cruising down for the day but I really enjoyed the cruise at the last dyno day. Was really hoping to hit another one. _________________

| Cruise can still be done, everyone would just break for home afterwards. The issue is that people living farther North would be getting home very late. |

Nonsense. Last year I went on the Port Townsend Cruise with my GTI. I left Portland at 5am, went straight to Seattle for the meetup. Then cruised on over to Port Townsend. Afterwards I took the scenic route down 101 then crossed over the I-5 for the remainder of the trip. I got home around 11pm after driving nearly 600 miles and still made it to work at 7am the next day. So yeah, no excuses.  _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S

Don't missunderstand me, I'll roll down in the AM and cruise after dyno. It doesn't bother me at all. But without a resident Portlandian host, who will design a cruise route?  _________________

Well we can all designate a route lol forums are cool like that do you wanna hit i5 straight out of Tacoma or take the scenic route and hit the 101 to end up back on the 5? Etc etc There's a ton of ways for us to go, someone just sketch up a route on Google maps or something and ill follow it _________________ If you expect a kick to the balls and get a slap to the face its still a victory

If you take the scenic route, you can swing by and pick me up. otherwise I'll cruise down there as a solo. _________________ Killing mailboxes since 2009 |

| I normally make that trip by taking Highway 3 through Belfair and Shelton, then connecting to I-5 just north of Olympia at about mile marker 104. |

Not staying over the night before means less drinking.
Last year was fun with the pizza and beer and then more beer and story telling at Dewey's place the night before. I will be there either way. _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

I'd be happy to help plan a route, any other PDX guys want to help out? Maybe even do a dry run? The only problem is that it's hard to plan a cruise with out an ending destination. Also, what an acceptable, comfortable length for a cruise for everyone? 20 miles? 50 miles? 100 miles? I'd offer up my place but I live in an apartment complex with crappy parking. My parents place has enough parking and a shop but they wouldn't be thrilled having 10 or so strangers sleeping over. _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S

50-75miles is usually pretty decent ONCE you get to the route. I don't count I5 drive time as part of the cruise. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Planning a route is easy, no worries there, and I can sure help out with anything that is needed. I just don't think that I can host.
Although, it looks like maybe my work schedule will be changing the first week of April. If we are willing to push it back by a month, then I will be able to host.

I'm fine with that. I might be moving in march anyway, so this would make it easier all around for me. Plus I haven't hung out with the Dew Meister in some time. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Yeah I think Dewey needs to start getting in on these meets. It doesnt matter to me when they date is set, I'll be there. _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S
