Chuckanut.... now there's a familar sounding name. Aren't there a few autosports/car clubs in that area using that area's name in their club's name? This kinda leads me to believe that the area breeds good drivers, fast drivers. Are the roads in that are ideal for a type of 'racing inspired' development of one's skills? I've never been up there, but am interested in seeing what goes on.

 

Here are a few pics from last weeks drive that I snapped. Not a lot (was too busy driving) but there are a few good ones. Complete album at this URL.

 

Anyone interested in a lap day at portland raceway? August 4th, details here: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....77#post1593477

 

Excellent shots of your Z w/ the mountain in the background!

 

Here are some of mine in no logical order. 56k beware (each pic is around 175KB x 20 pics):

If you see anything you want in higher-res, let me know and I can email them to you. I also have more if you're looking for a particular car.

Thanks to rolling for that cool panaramic pic at the top of the page.

 

Where are all the pics of that awesome looking red roadster?

 

Ha! Well, I didn't really take pics of any of the PDX-ers since I've seen most of them before. Besides, your car is so stock it's ridiculous.

I'll see what I can find though....

 

hey Maxim...a short trip to the coast sounds good. Hwy 8 through Forest Grove and Gales Creek out to Hwy 6, then on to Tillamook? We can go get some cheese! hehehehe

Anybody else up for a "Day At The BeachZ"?

No dates set yet but go ahead and suggest some here on this thread. Or, PM me.

 

LMAO!!! You gonna take that, Bruce??? hehehehe

 

My favorite pic from the meet

 

yea definatly

also goin to an event in 2 weeks we need more Z

Hey Folks,

Oregon Region SCCA and Oregon Rally Group are holding the Rally Round PIR in
conjunction with the August Regional Races at PIR - and after the rally and
racing is done on Saturday, we've got the All-Club-Party in the evening.

I went and test-ran the rally yesterday, and it's a delightful jaunt through
the hills from PIR to Rainier, then across the river and back down through
the hills outside of Longview to Woodland, then through the Ridgefield area
and back to PIR. The rally begins and ends with a lap of PIR to test your
consistency. Total time for the rally is about 4 hours, and it begins at
the lunch break for the regional races and ends just in time for the party.

Everyone is invited to the Party, which will include a BBQ dinner and soft
drinks and I believe the TC Racer Blues Band will be playing.

The price of the rally is $20 for SCCA and ORG members, and $25 for others.
So if you're not racing or working that day, why not enjoy the rally and
then the party?

that awesome red roadster was noticably absent most on the time! hehe
at least to my camera

 

Mark-
What are the dates for the rally?

Bruce

Yes, I was noticeably absent much of the time. I heard a lot of "where's the rest room?", "I'm hungry", and "slow down, you a**h#le"! Of course, it would have been a different story if SHE'D been driving. (Fortunately, she won't drive my car...)

 

hmmm...co-pilots can be such a pain. Mine just closes her eyes and grabs the door pull. hehehehe

 

heres the info that was sent to me on signing up.....
All anyone needs to do to sign up is show up near the front entrance to
PIR about 11:30am on Saturday when registration opens. We don't really
have a limit on entries (but if we top 40 or so, we'll be scramblin'),
so there's no need to preregister (unlike the Gran Prix Imports Port
Orford Rally, where a quarter of the entries are already taken... have
you sent in yours yet?).
