It’s that time of year again! And much less time to plan than before!!!
The Spring Opener Car Show at the *** Rootbeer Drive-In in Issaquah will be held on Sunday, May 15, 2011. This is one of the largest, if not the largest all-make/model/years car show in the Northwest. Last year we had about 10 Vipers enter!
We will meet at the Krispy Kreme in Issaquah between 6:30 & 7:00 a.m. The caravan will leave for *** promptly at 7:00 a.m. Show starts at 8:00 a.m. We will need to arrive together to secure parking as a group since this event attracts more than 400 cars each year. Entry fee is about $15.00 if I recall correctly. The show lasts until 3 or 4 p.m. if you stay for the all of the awards ceremony stuff, even though they try to wrap things up around 2 p.m.
For all those not into the car show scene as well as those attending, after (and during the latter part of) the show, there will be a Bar-B-Q at my place in Sammamish – about 15 minutes up the road from ***. Hope all of you can come out!
For anyone that would like to attend, but traveling at 5 a.m. is a bit too much, the Hilton Garden Inn in Issaquah has a special car show rate of $79.00 if you mention the show.
And please don’t be shy about not having a “show car” – I plan on taking the trophy for most rock-chipped/road-rashed paint. Bring plenty of sunscreen, water and your folding chairs!
