Sent you a PM. Not looking good for me tonight or tomorrow. Sorry man. It would have been cool to hang out. FWIW I believe I read some guys from 7club are going to PIR tonight. Costs $10 to watch and $25 to drag.

I just got into Portland at 830. I sat in traffic from Seattle - Ft Fewis for 3.5 hours. ****. Than I got hit with laser while doing 90+ trying to make up time. Luckily Nick let me try out his radar detector and I got a scatter. Good thing for 6th to 3rd, braking hard and pulling ebrake dropping back down to 55. Phew. Oh well im here. If any of your oregon guys are interested in say hi shoot me a PM.

Btw theres a sick FD parked outside the hotel. Bout to go get some pictures Hopefully he doesnt leave.

So we were driving around killing time. Drove to PIR and Expo center and saw some mustangs pulling in. Thought/said lets check it out.

Well next thing you know im running back to back passes haha

14.87 @ 93mph best I did. Not bad for a full stock motor.


I saw a stock VR 8 there though. Was getting some stare downs by a few kids, was that anyone on the board? You should have came over and talked to me. I would have walked through the crowd saying Who has the VR rx8 and wants to touch butts! But the girl wouldnt let me do that

Oh well...Time to go out for dinner.

If anyone is around tomorrow morning/afternoon wants to eat lunch with me before I head back north hit me up with a PM ill check before we check out.

Yeah I would have talked but I had a pesky stater sitting off my bumper on my way from 205 into Portland.

I did in the middle of no where by the Airport/Hotel get nailed with a laser for like 5 sec, go away than hit me again as I pulled away from a light. I was goose necking looking for a hiding cop but didnt see one. Sneaky bastard or the airport was throwing something off and bounced off my car?

Checking out, going to look for a Carls Jr. than bail back north. To bad none of the portland guys were free to hang out for a bit. Oh well, I guess ill see them at the Dyno day. Or another random trip to PIR.

The only false-positive laser I ever got was once, getting off a ferry (and then never again since). My guess is their range finders set it off, so it's possible there's something similar coming off of a plane or the control tower.
