    This is the official discussion thread for the 2011 Port Townsend Cruise. There are a lot of details to go over so please check back on this post often as updates and important information will be added!! In fact many of the details from previous years no longer apply so make sure you are up-to-speed on this year's event details. Here is what we know for sure is happening:

    Where: Cruise to Port Townsend
    When: Sunday, March 6th at 9:00 am, departing at 10:30 am.
    Why: To enjoy a cruise with fellow European car enthusiasts and to support NW Harvest.
    Who: All European car enthusiasts

    Important details below. Again, be sure to check back as more details are added!!

    Meeting spot: Marymoor Park - Events and Recreation Pad (signs will lead you to it)

    Meeting time: 9:00 am

    - Participants gather to check out each others rides, group up, etc.

    - During this time, canned food will be collected (2-can minimum per car) for NW Harvest in exchange for Achtuning Parking Pass which will give you access to reserved parking in Port Townsend.

    - Be sure to pick up a copy of a map featuring the route for this cruise and additional details about your arrival in Port Townsend.

    - Thanks in advance to members of BPCDubs» who will be assisting in the canned food collection and directing traffic.

    Departure time: 10:30 am

    - Leave (meeting spot TBA) and cruise to Port Townsend by way of I-5 South, HWY 16 West, Hwy 3 North, turn left on HWY 104. After Hood Canal bridge take right onto Hwy 19, continue north onto Hwy 20, end at Port Townsend.

    - In Port Townsend, drive right through downtown on Water Street to Monroe Street. Left on Monroe St to Washington St. Then about 75 feet and turn right into Memorial Field. Staff will be on hand to organize the parking layout.

    In Port Townsend:

    - Achtuning has arranged for parking inside Memorial Stadium to better accommodate the masses. Parking passes collected at (original meeting spot TBA) in exchange for canned food will gain you access into Memorial Field, where you can park your car for the duration of our stay in Port Townsend. Those of you who cannot make it to the starting point can also exchange cans of food for parking passes upon entering Memorial Field. (Please have your cans ready before entering stadium to expedite this process.)

    - Reserved parking in Port Townsend from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. During this time, feel free to kick it with fellow enthusiasts and check out all the cars. Please support the City of Port Townsend and have yourself some lunch at one of the many good eating spots in town.

    Memorial Field:





    Please read the following information regarding Memorial Field, our host in Port Townsend.

    1. PLEASE PARK as close to other cars as you would in a normal parking lot, so we all fit.
    2. All Memorial Field staff are volunteers hoping to help you out. Please be courteous and respectful to them. They are there to help us!
    3. NO TIPPING PLEASE.
    4. Enter and exit off of Washington St. only
    5. Have pets pee on the perimeter areas, not the main field. Pick up poop.
    6. Garbage cans and restrooms available - center of main stadium.
    7. One or two picnic tables available.
    8. Make yourself at home, picnics, tailgating and hanging out are welcomed! It is a cool place.
    9. There are walk through gates in the middle of the grandstand, near the Quincy Exit, and at the top of the stairs!
    10. Drive slow and carefully!!


    Parking in groups: If you are with a group of cars and you wish to park together inside Memorial Field, pick a spot in town to group up first before entering the field. Parking volunteers will do their best to keep the group together.

    Drive carefully and safely!! I cannot stress enough the importance of how this is to be a safe drive. WSP and Port Townsend PD will be made aware of this event. That said...

    Mind your driving habits on this cruise! When we drive as a group, each and every one of us represents the community as a whole . No burn-outs in the parking lots, no illegal lane-passing (or shoulder passing), keep a controlled speed and safe following distance at all times, and respect the Port Townsend community and other communities that we pass through. Give everyone else the right-of-way. DO NOT keep people from merging onto the highway just because you do not want to be separated by the European car in front of you!! I strongly encourage anyone to call 911 and report those driving unsafely. There is a rather large risk in traveling in large groups like this and we need to realize that despite our numbers, we do NOT own the road!! Furthermore, be sure to keep noise levels in Port Townsend to a minimum. We all know what aftermarket exhausts sound like. No need to show that off for the sake of annoying Port Townsend residents.

    Tacoma Narrows Bridge Toll: Please don't forget there is a toll on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge now. It is only charged eastbound. Of course those taking the ferry back will not have to pay that fee. (Also take note that ferry fees have gone up since last year.)

    Keep an eye on this first post as it will be updated frequently with details as they become available.

              If I can get anyone else from Vancouver/PDX to go I may make the journey up.

                I may consider going. Depends on what's happening that weekend.


                "The Camry is an appliance, not a car. It attracts folks who have the same regard for driving that they have for washing dishes,
                i.e. it's a necessary but somewhat unpleasant chore and they want something to make the task a little easier and insulate them from the process."

                    I'll be going again (like the 6th year for me) but not in the E30, I'm taking a proper vehicle:D




                    EDIT: unless it's raining, then the E30 will have to roll since it actually has wipers

                        Wipers? Just use rainx :p

                        Decent weather, I'll bring the E30 out, if not it's up to the E39 then.

                        Still waiting to see where the meeting spot will be, but if everyone on here wants to cruise together, I'd suggest parking in the same area so we can leave together.

                        In past years (before Griots) a group of us met at the weigh station just past the Narrows Bridge and joined in as the group drove by. This may work again, if the meeting spot is farther north like Southcenter. I don't like to back track :)
