We all talked about it last night, so do people want to do another drive on the 19th possibly ending with a meet? It would be cool to end up somewhere we could all get food, I know that's been the recurring dilemma for me in these past meets. Discuss!
hell yea! i'll be off my speeding ticket deferment and better have some coilovers on my car by then lol. i vote for high bridge rd/snoqualmie valley rd as i always do and food in duvall ;)
I'm game!
Damn Ill be busy (getting dirty at Dirtfish):fab:
I've always wanted to do their Rally school! I did a lot of RallyX events in my Suby in California and it's tons of fun!Quote:

just from looking at google maps... between shelton and matlock seems to have some decent roads for example...
I know there are some really good roads on the Oregon/Washington border inland a little more.
I'm down. I'm putting the date in my phone now. Where are we meeting?
I don't know if we've come to a decision yet, we need some people in here discussing where they want to meet/cruise! Let's go somewhere new!Quote:

I would be down with going somewhere more to the south considering I'm like the only one in Lewis county (facepalm)
I wish I knew of more roads, the only ones I am familiar with are not long enough to make it worth a meet up and cruise.. I'll keep my eye out while I'm at work, but I usually just drive on highways =\
I think we should trek down to the Oregon/Wash border. I know there are some super fun twisties down there that go for hours.
how about NF-25 and NF-99 on mt. st. helens near swift lake?
That looks awesome! Have you done those roads before? I might head down there today. It's a 3 hour drive from here despite being pretty close the way the crow flies, it's just twisties all the way there! :mrgreen:Quote:

Is there a day you guys had in mind?
Read the thread title. :fab:Quote:

Has anybody been up there this year to check on road conditions? When do those roads usually open?Quote:

im down for a recon mission this weekend lmao
Let's do nf 25 and nf 99. I'm down for those
are we set on where we are going? the date is coming up rather quickly...
any other route suggestions?
hey ben! you busy this weekend?
Most likely. I'll get back to you if I'm not.Quote:

won't be able to make to this i'm afraid :( got a good friends surprise birthday party that day up in sedro woolley.
So how many people are actually interested in doing this?
I am. Definitely can make it.
I'm always down for these.
We're going to be taking the 25 to the 99. Since I'm assuming none of us have yet to drive this route this year, I'm viewing this cruise as more of a exploration/adventure than anything.
How about meeting at the Radio Shack in Morton (link) at 12PM and going from there? If anyone would like to pre-meet in my area and drive down from there it's pretty much an hour and a half of twisties just to get to Morton. Link to said drive.
were you guys gonna start on the north side of NF25, go up NF99, back down 99 and continue and finish off NF 25 and end up in woodland washington near the entrance on I5 north/south?
i shall meet you guys in morton :) cant wait!
That's what I was thinking. I'm expecting a very small turnout for this drive, too bad because it looks like some great roads if they're not snowed over. A lot of the other roads in the area just opened last weekend.Quote:

Ye sounds like a good time! I can't wait! Debating if I should mount up the new sticky tires or if I want to go full dorifto on my bald all seasons haha.
MR stickers???
One free MR and Boss sticker for each car that shows up!
I need to hammer out my fenders a little more before this lol. I will still rub like crazy but I want to be sure I won't cut into my tires :p
unfortunatly the roads are not yet open according to US Forest Service website that has just been updated.................................
I saw that. Hmm.
Since the roads are closed, Mbrown and I are going to run around on Saturday in Oregon if anybody is interested. Not sure where we'll go yet but I'll think of something twisty and interesting.
So any updates with this other than the oregon stuff? Bummer the road is closed.
Officially cancelled. Not enough interest expressed and too last minute to make any changes.
aww poo. Good call though, kind of hard to coordinate people in different states the day before haha.
At least summer is near, and we won't have to worry about this type of thing as much.
Yes and I'm going to be opening a retail location soon where I will be able to host tech days and meets and such. I think I just need to get the meets rolling because I don't know about you guys but I've been hitting fun roads since it's been sunny, just not with any other Miata's.
Woah that's cool. Looking forward to that.
I've been taking the fun roads to work although there aren't many, All this nice weather kinda makes me want to get decent coilovers and raise my car. Not sure yet lol.
Went on a short cruise last weekend with Mead (friend with the swapped/semi-built gf8) up by flaming geyser. There are a few fun roads there that maybe we could check out as more of a couple hour event instead of an all day thing. Perhaps that would spark more interest.
I'm getting Stance in stock soon and may be doing a group buy. Lets organize another cruise!Quote:

I'm open for a meet just about any Saturday. It can be a simple meet, tech day (assuming this is working on cars? Never been), or a cruise. Or all 3! haha.
I just need to know at least a week in advance and I'm there. How does June 9th look for you guys? Just to get a date out there..
if i can get some money and magically have the parts show up at the shop lol ill be there!
