I think I'm in =D

PetoM3 · 08-05-2013, 04:09 PM

In! I'll have my performance driving school done by then, so I should hopefully be able to keep up this time :P.

I'm in!

bruza · 08-06-2013, 10:43 PM

Count me in

Nice work creating the thread already. Will there be a meet up spot right in Burlington too?

I'm planning to cut over at Arlington because Hwy 530 is pretty empty and nice compared to 20 out of Burlington. Do you want to meet off the exit in Arlington?

larryn · 08-06-2013, 11:48 PM

I'm likely in if I can convince the wife to let me, after just getting home from Laguna Seca and going to the Ridge on the weekend after this.

Ill just meet you all at the Starbucks (that location is a usual stop for me).

jjgentile · 08-07-2013, 10:57 PM

I'm in! Never met any of you, but excited to drive that loop with some fellow M3 owners. FYI, I'm a 32yo dude with a 2010 Silverstone e92.

Looking forward to this!

I think this is the day after M-car day at Griots right? Will be tough to pull off the two-fer.

It's the day before M-car day. I'm going to try to do both.

Which day are you going to the ridge? I'm there both 10th and 11th in the e46.

Right now it's looking like Friday, Sept 13 with Tom/Turn2. Who's running the Tuesday Wednesday event?? Haven't seen the e46 yet. Would love to.

Okay thought you said you were going this next weekend.

Nope. Considered it, but I didn't want to risk car damage that close to needing to drive it down to Monterey, drive for a few days on Laguna Seca, and get me back in one piece.

Nice should be fun. I need a trailer to get out to thunderhill, ORP and PIR. Maybe next season.

I think I'm doing the Sept 13th Turn 2 event as well.

FFF UUUUUUU

Big mudslides on the highway and it's presently closed. Stay tuned up to the week of the drive because unless this gets completely cleaned up, we'll have to reschedule.

bruza · 08-13-2013, 07:39 PM

Is there a different route we could look at for the same date?

sterile stork · 08-13-2013, 09:13 PM

Brutal! I'm planing to make a weekend up in Seattle for the two events, so hopefully the route clears, or a new one is devised

Transfer · 08-13-2013, 10:12 PM

Well we could still go and drive to the winter gate: http://goo.gl/maps/3xEub A perk to doing that is there will be just about zero traffic.
Another option is the BMW CCA is having their mountain twisties tour that same day, meeting in Issaquah. I'm just concerned that drive will be a little too calm for my tastes.

I'll probably just stick with our plan but we'll have to see what the WSDOT can do. They have 25 days to get this sorted out so hopefully that's enough time.

I'm working on the boss's permission to head up there with you. But this one is a tough sell.
