Hm, there's an AutoX on Sunday... just learned I have Friday off too, so if there's a lapping day Friday I'd do it.

Assuming my freaking registration ever gets here... if it isn't here tomorrow I'm going in to get it in person.

How much was it to run the Alfa day? I just signed up for the Proformance school at Pacific Raceways for July 6th (Mon). That'll be an all day thing, then I can go back and drive I think half a day for $260 and I'll have to pay an instructor for an hour. After that I can drive any track day they offer if there's room.

Oh and I'll be out SCCAn' this Sunday too.

I don't know if it's too late to sign up for the school this Monday. And then I don't know if that'll qualify for an Alfa day???

I went to enumcla (not sure how to spell it) but off of 169 (i think thats it) there was some sweet roads i took to get to the wedding last weekend.

Mike you might be more familiar with that area? You have any back roads we could take heading towards Mt. Rainier?

There's rt. 7 between Ft. Lewis and Elbe on the way to Mt. Rainier, that was pretty epic last time I rolled through there after a Packwood event. It's pretty good after Elbe as well but not as good.

I guess so... I'm always rolling through there at like 6am or 6pm. I saw like 5 cops getting gas in Elbe once but other than that I haven't run into cops there at all...

There may or may not have been a particularly beligerant morning where I was running late for the morning runs. That corvette driven by a chick may or may not have come up behind me and we may or may not have convoyed along 12 at 90-110mph.

Where was the wedding? I went to a wedding up there last summer and it had some twisty roads. Maybe it was the same place. Was it a campground with a waterfall?

The stretch from my work on 224th st and all the way past eatonville has only 2 county cops on duty at a time so chances of seeing them is pretty slim. State troopers are hit and miss though. Sometimes 4 or 5, sometimes 1.

It's Proformance Racing School. It's an all day event. I guess you do autocross cone stuff in the morning to teach you driving techniques, then the afternoon session is a track day (with an instructor) I think you drive for a half hour then you sit for a half hour. I'm very excited. Then the next time there's a track day you, need to rent an instructor for an hour, then they'll sign off on you and you're good.

It's out at Pacific Raceways.
