Cool

I am all most ready for the drive . Today I got my new tires (bridgestone potenza s03) for $159 each at discount tire. I still can't believe I had no tire tread in my two rear tire. not bad for the factory tires, over 42,000 miles on them. Now I need to wait for next week to get my Rmagic spoiler painter and for discount Tires to get me a new rear right wheel. they scratch about 1 inch off the lip of the wheel, so I am getting a new one! I hope I get every thing done before the drive. See you all soon!!!

kristopher, I check my nav system and the only thing I found was;

West Bay Marina

Olympia, WA 98502

I'll try to see if I can make. I pick my car up from the body shop sometime on the 23rd, emblem-less on the front end since they are apparently on backorder. I'm dying for a good drive since being in a rental since March 12. Thanks stupid, uninsured idiot with a suspended license.

BG, at least you're finally getting your car back.

Looks like I won't be able to make this one either. An old college buddy is flying in from Hawaii and will stay at my place through the weekend. While you guys are having fun speeding around, we'll probably be causing trouble in Belltown lol Dammit I'll get to one of these drives sooner or later...

Haha I would but he wants to meet up with several other old friends. He's also scouting out the area as he's job hunting in the NW, so that cuts into the weekend quite a bit.

kristopher_d Want to meet in Factoria or something for the trek down to the starting area?


EDIT:

Also, is this a RX-* only event? Or can my buddies come. Couple WRXs, couple STis, one s2000 and a miata.

I'm really not certain. The web page for the park is http://www.ci.olympia.wa.us/cityservices/par/parks/

I'll be certain to bring the signs along so there's something familiar to look for.
