She gets the the smell of Nitro and Alcohol mixed up with the gas smell.
She won't even go to the drag strip when we run our cars anymore.
What a pooper!

Hit Pike Place and the Crab Pot (YUM).
Next year I'll make plans way in advance for that week. She had her choice this year, next year is mine.

I'll try to keep this list updated as much as possible.
1) sno, Bryan, Portland
2) encore100, John, Vancouver
3) Ruff Z, ______, Clackamas (maybe)
4) overZealous1, Scott, Portland (maybe)
5) garym, Gary, Portland (cancelled)
6) jiggalam, ______, Portland (maybe)
7) SUSPECT03, Jeff, Vancouver
It's, probably, the largest Pacific NW gathering of Nissans. This year will be it's 5th consecutive event and last year they reported 400+ Nissans. People from all over (Oregon, Washington, California, Canada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming) attend the event. All cars from B13 Sentras to R34 Skylines will be in attendance.
UPDATE: I just realized that there are 4+ parking garages at Lloyd Center. To cut down on confusion, I suggest the meeting spot be changed to the Regal Lloyd Center 10 parking lot across NE Multnomah St from Lloyd Center @ 5am. WE LEAVE AT 5:30AM.
The address to the movie theater is:
1510 NE Multnomah Street
Portland, OR 97232

Just an FYI, unless you plan on hauling @ss at 100mph, you won't make it before 8:30, at which point the seattle group may have already left for GG. Either meet up earlier, or come up on saturday. I can probably accomodate 1-2 people in my place if you bring a sleeping bag

Well, at least, not one that I'll be a part of.
I'm going to make the trip up that Saturday afternoon before. If anyone wants to join me, I figure I'll leave around 11 AM -ish...
