Pacific Northwest Mazda meet (final plans)

Final plans:

3pm-4pm: Meet and greet in the parking lot at the entrance to Portland International Raceway(Just look for Mazdas): http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&...&iwloc=addr

4pm-?: Drive East on I-84, to Cascade Locks (Past the main parking lot for Multnomah Falls)
Drive route: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&...p;z=10&om=1

Then drive West on Columbia River HWY back to the falls and Pointe Butte, which has a good parking lot for taking pictures. We will get back on I-84 West and hit an Applebees right off the 205 North freeway, 3rd exit after crossing into Washington.
Drive route: http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.ad...z=98682&r=f

Additional info:

IF and only IF the parking lot at PIR is closed and/or not available we will be meeting at one of the parking lots on the other side of the freeway. '1bad3' will be up there at 2:15 or so, and he will pick where we will be if the main place is not available.

1bad3: " If the parking lot is not available I will make a trail to where we will meet. Look for yellow tape (caution tape) tied to signs. I will put it on the signs, hopefully from the off ramps to the location. I will park somewhere conspicuous. "

Awesome! I'll be there! I'll see if I can't get a few more people, too. Dan, Leo, I know you want to caravan down there with me, huh?! =P
 
Hmmm... That is very tempting. I will see if I can fork up the gas money for the trip. What is on the agenda for the meet?? Will we be racing the track or just meeting and hanging out??

Hey Sam, yah wanna pull me and leo on a trailor down there. Your protege can pull 6-8,000lbs right (ricer) lol j/k. That would be dope.

hahaha, yeah maybe with the maxima. But I know you guys really want to go, you can't fool me. ;) Gas should only be like 100-150bucks round trip.
 
Yah maybe I could take it out of the tax money. Thats just hard to wrap my mind around $150 when that could buy some of the many repairs and mods I need. But I am going to try and make it, maybe I will take out all my seats before I go to get some extra MPG and HP. lol It kind of depends on what we are doing also. If we are driving all that way just to hang out and check out each others rides(although that does sound great and fun) it might not be worth it to me.

I believe there is an Alfa Club track day and possibly an Auto-X at PIR that Saturday

It's just a meet and dinner at the moment.

I'll be traveling 400+ miles so I can relate, I'm hoping this will be a 5+ hour event involving more than just a meet and eat. Things are still up in the air so please feel free to submit ideas.

Unfortunately this will not be a track event :(
 
Yah I don't think I will make it if this is just a meet and great. I just found out last night that I am going to be a dad!! so I have to be more responsible with my money.lol

!!!!Congratulations!!!!
 
*This is for the Portland members: Where are some good inexpensive places to eat? Are there any Applebees, TGI Fridays, chilli's or Chevy's around that area?*
 
Theres a hooters about one exit away. A Mexican and chinese restaurant across from PIR. Probably a couple of other restaurants at the Janzen beach area. banana joes across the river on the wash. side. Thats all I can think of right off the top of my head. Have fun, I can't make it due to RallyCross.

All high way up to the mall in Vancouver (Westfield), I5 N to 14 E to 205 N and take the second exit. A 20 minute drive at the most.
There is an Appleby's near there, a Chevy's and I believe a Chilli's as well.
