Car Winterization Event
OK - here's the long-awaited update. :lmao: I've received 6-8 positive responses, 3-4 no thank-you's, and a couple of folks said they'd show up for the event, but don't need service. So, we're on! :headbang: No south-end specific interest. Janet says that Cam can only do it on the...- SmokinViperGTS

Car Winterization Event
I recently got to thinking about getting my car winterized - you know, oil & filter, air filter, gas stabilizer, battery check, anti-freeze check.....the regular stuff. And then I thought, well, I'll bet a lot of other folks are probably doing the same thing - and wondering when they can get...- SmokinViperGTS

Events Notification
Speaking of Events Notification, I've got a new event that I want to put together on short notice - How would I normally do this? Here's the idea: Let's have a Car Winterization event at Maltby Motorsports some Saturday between now and the end of October. What I'd like to do is coordinate...- SmokinViperGTS

Somehow I missed this thread. :dunno: I check the forum regularly, because it e-mails me when something's up. I subscribed to everything in Washington, so that's what I get. Usually.- SmokinViperGTS

Maybe moving to Seattle....
A general rule of thumb is that everything is more expensive the closer you get to downtown Seattle. Get farther out (North, South, or East), and the cost goes down. Get completely out of King County, and you'll really notice the difference. The real bummer is that literally millions of...- SmokinViperGTS

Caravan to Paul's House???
Looks like a great route! I vote for Eastgate, as it's way easier freeway access than factoria mall. I'll join you there. Isn't the Shucks on the south side of I-90 though? Wouldn't it be easier to meet at, say, the Dairy Queen in the Toyota parking lot, or Little John's Restaurant on the...- SmokinViperGTS

Caravan to Paul's House???
Same here. The note said to target arrival for about 1:00pm. Leaving from Bellevue, that means that I'll need about and hour and a quarter of straight driving time, plus meet-up time. One option might be to meet up in Tacoma around 12:15 - 12:30. Other ideas? Steve- SmokinViperGTS

Nominations are now being taken! All Officers!
Fair enough! Then I won't tell you about being the Treasurer for my last 3 Homeowners Associations :D After 6 years in my current position :bonker:, it's probably time for someone else to take it over. See you Saturday! :meal: Steve- SmokinViperGTS

Nominations are now being taken! All Officers!
You guys are too kind! :) I haven't volunteered just because I don't think I could be half the officer that Heather has been! My first year and half in the club, my schedule was so bad that I hardly ever got out to club events, and Heather's e-mail was my lifeline (besides Cam's shop ;-))...- SmokinViperGTS

Event Calendar
<rant:soapbox> Well, not quite. It just changes the problem from one form to another. Now, instead of everyone in the club being more well informed and talking with each other (albeit with some irritated folks), we have the small sub-set that interacts on the web forum, and the other, larger...- SmokinViperGTS

Well, that raises the question - once in, can we leave whenever we want, or are we effectively stuck for the day?- SmokinViperGTS

XXX Rootbeer Drive-In
I'm planning on going as well, but I'm just 3 miles up the road. Not much of a drive. But after a rainy track day today (Park Place day at PR), I'll need to really spent some time cleaning up The Beast. See ya'all at Krispy Kreme! Steve- SmokinViperGTS

Thanks for backing into my pristine 2003. Bodyshop anyone?
Since my 2006 RAM 3500 has suffered parking lot damage 6 times (yes, that's hit and run 6 times), I've discovered a few body shop solutions. In Bellevue, Bellevue Auto Repair does an excellent job. They are PEMCO certified (and several others), so you don't even need to deal with the...- SmokinViperGTS

PIR-Portland Track days 2008 3/15; 4/25; 6/6; 8/15; 9/12; 10/24
I took the Proformance course, but I haven't taken the course at Portland. Proformance does allow factory installed roll bars for ragtops. Their course was the first time that I had tracked my car, and I really enjoyed it. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face for days. But they do also...- SmokinViperGTS

New Owner - New to Area - Can you recommend service locations?
For tires, I usually go to Discount Tire. They carry lots of brands, have good service, and carry the sizes needed. Schwab also has good service, but they don't carry the size needed, and I'm not sure you want to run on Proxes anyway. For everything else, go to Cam McCracken, at Maltby...- SmokinViperGTS

Discount SRT track Experience
Nice pics Clint! For anyone that is/was contemplating attending one of these sessions, I would encourage you - it's well worth the price. The group was split into four sections, each with their own "Crew Chief", and rotated around 4 major activities. And most of the cars had on-board...- SmokinViperGTS

Spokane Raceway Park For Sale
I just got a flyer in the mail offering Spokane Raceway Park for sale. It's being carved up into 13 parcels, each for sale individually. The drag strip, oval course, and 2.5 mi road track are all in parcel #1, at 198+ acres. The remainder is being carved up into parcels from 11 to 85 acres in...- SmokinViperGTS

I've tried faxing the damned form twice - both with errors, which makes me nervous since my cc information is on it, and calling them three times now. Maybe tomorrow will be the trick.

2008 Annual Planning Meeting! Feb 17th, 2008
Cody, We're having ours tomorrow - I'll bring it up. I've never autocrossed before, and it sounds like it would be a real challenge for my pre-ABS GTS (certainly not my driving skills! :rolaugh:). But that's OK, I love to kill cones! Steve :drive:- SmokinViperGTS

NEW Washington State License Pltes
In Washington, it's a secondary offense - meaning that they can't stop you for it, but if they stop you for anything else, then they can ticket you for it. I understand that there's also an exception for cases when there is no practical way to mount the plate, or when it would interfere with...- SmokinViperGTS
