Bothell "Caffeine and Gasoline" - 4/30/2017 - 10am

I don't care what location, I don't even know what Safeway you're referring too.

from the last page

Bummed that we missed out but can I suggest a new meet spot? Going north on bothell-everett hwy, passed mill creek town center. Its the old Safeway parking lot, which is HUGE and empty along with a drive thru coffee stand (sorry fellas, no bikini lol) in the same parking lot. It would be a real "cars and coffee".

13314 Bothell Evertt Hwy, Mill Creek, WA 98012

the safeway is now closed so it's a big lot and nobody will care if we meet up.

Coffee stand, pho place, mcmenamins all right there too.

Safeway lot is off of 132nd and bothell everett highway. im in for that lot since its huge and theres a coffee stand right there too

[SterlingMetE30]

In for either location. Need to meet more of the locals.

Also, in to try an auto-x haven't done one in years. But REALLY in for HPDS. haven't been out in the e30 yet. The ridge is WAY better than pacific. IMHO. New pavement, no grooves, and Washington version of the cork screw. :)

Hopefully I can get my e30 up and going to come out soon

[e30_world]

Any chance we can bring this south a little closer to seattle or shoreline area.

[RainRider]

In for new location.

[BraveUlysses]

i say yes to new location

[kid325e]

Bump. You guys want to move this to the old safeway lot or what?

[spiDmang]

this tickles my fancy. i've been wanting to try auto-x with the E30, especially since i've gotten it dialed in a little better

[elDizzle]

FNG here. Down for Auto-x. Don't want to wreck my E. Need to walk before I can run with y'all! [emoji1360]

i'd be down too.

I think getting a group together to go to an even would be awesome. I'd be up for it

[cg138]

Personally I think it'd be fun to get a group of us together and do an HPDE with the club. Been meaning to do one for way too long.

Car control clinic first if you haven't taken it!

all winter iv been wishing I had an IX

I've got one for sale...

You're gonna have to drive a good distance to find any autocross. Bellingham/Packwood/bremerton are the only locations used any more.

Also one in Shelton, but you are right, all are far away, and is the biggest reason why I don't do it more often.

Doesn't Pacific Raceways have a road course that you can bring your own car to & have instructors teach you stuff? I thought they did once upon a time.

Car clubs will rent out the track for HPDE days, but the on-site school at Pacific is ProFormance.

I think Autox would be a great intro to certain dynamics of your car, but then doing actual road courses (I've always wanted to go to The Ridge!) would be much more beneficial for learning. Great idea! Now I just need to get my e30 back on the road...

You can learn a ton in autocross, especially the fundamentals. Don't underestimate the value of it.

Either way, I highly encourage autocross for a low cost way to get started and dip your toes in to some performance driving.
