Friends of PIR Opening day

[Ryann]

I'll be there for the first time.

No you won't. And if I come these guys will just keep asking Shauna if she's JBird, which I suspect she enjoys since she's 10 years older than you.

[Van Westervelt]

I wanna hit this up if I can this year. Missed it last year, and I thought it was only a one year deal to do the laps anyway. Sweet if not!

[dreeves]

your car will be fine, it isn't THAT intense, but still a lot of fun.


it'll probably be the 19th this year since the 20th was a saturday last year.

How do you know it's actually happening? Just because it happened last year, or do you have inside info? A little strange that it isn't listed on motorsportreg or on the PIR's own site

Sorry to be the skeptic -- would love for it to happen, especially the open lapping.

[Dussen]

Yes, Can somebody please confirm if this is actually going down or not?

Thanks,
Dustin

I am sure it will be happening soon, but who knows of the date...

I have been twice and each time they have had a follow the leader type drive around PIR. You are only supposed to be going highway speeds, so if you can drive down from Seattle to make this your car will be fine. It is only 3 lap sessions for $10 each anyways. So if you want more you could do a second 3 laps for another $10.

There is usually a track day the day after, but for that you usually need to belong to the Porsche club or something like that, and they don't allow noobs out.

[dreeves]

Ok. Well, if anyone has any info, I'd love to hear it.
I'd be coming for the afternoon lapping.

If you both go, let a brotha know, we should all caravan. :p

X3! (as in times 3, not the small sav)

[dreeves]

For sure. I would be towing, so I might not be the most fun to caravan with, but I'm down.

[Dussen]

Just over 2 weeks and no one know if this if a for sure thing?

As for a hopeful caravan from seattle area:

1. Dussen
2. dreeves (trailering)
3. kid325e
4. Rennsport
5.

Add to it if you're interested. And if this actually happens. Also if anyone knows of a good meeting spot. Possible Griot's Garage in Tacoma?

[dreeves]

Well - if I were to bet I don't think it's going to happen.

[Dussen]

Ok, So I'm probably going to have to agree and say this is a shot in the dark.

Anybody have any other ideas for a meet or fun filled day of driving?

[kid325e]

Fuck yeah, lets go to Leavenworth and grab some beer and brauts..
