It's basically the same complex as the Westin, which is directly across from Bellevue Square. And I guess 7-7:30 sound better? I'm not a morning person, but I can make an exception for this

Haha...I would love to but a 15 hour drive to get kicked off on my first pass is a little far to go. I think it would be better for you guys to come down here and run as fast as you want without the worries of dipping under 11.5 and getting the boot.

sneaky, I just read the thread on your smashed bumper I thought that would put you out of commission for the weekend, but looks like you're still going to make it? Sucks to hear about the bumper, but at least it's a good reason to update to the E63 front end!

And TonyC32, here is the address I have for the station in Auburn w/ 101 available from the pump.

EDIT: Oops, wrong address! I'll post the correct one when I get back home. (on slow iPhone)

Last I heard it's around $8.5 a gallon.

I say we grab a pizza or something easy up there. If your intrested in a 45 min drive I know where the locals hang out down in fedral way area? There's some decent fast cars there, I'm sure there is a seattle gathering but I dont know the area.
As far as sunday I'll just meet you all at the track. Just look for the benz with the smashed front end! lol

Well found the station, and the fuel. Pulling the 20's and going back to stock. Looking forward to meeting some of you that show up on Sunday. Looks like it's going to be great weather! T

There's a credit card operated Sunoco pump at the track that has multiple high octane grades. I think the highest is 110 but it has two lower grades.

You should really pop for the Westin in Bellevue instead of the Sheraton. The Westin is right in the middle of all the good restaurants. The Sheraton is 6-7 blocks away and right on 405.

There's lots of options near the Westin. The pool hall on the third floor of the complex, the Irish bar on the NE 8 street side, across NE8th there's Joey's and down on Old Main there's the 520 Bar and Grill. All good casual places to eat and drink.

I don't have an AMG but maybe I'll bring one of my bikes and see if you guys can handle a ZX-11.

Too bad it's football season... or I'd head up. Someday we'll have to get a late night drags going at PIR. Depending on the weekend, some nights you can practically get in as many runs as you want. The last time I was there, there were only about 60 cars running, and after 10 pm when noise ordinance hits for the muscle cars, it drops down to about 40 or so after some more choose to show. I didn't run.

Here's the CORRECT address again for the 76 in Auburn:

Unocal 76
1725 Auburn WY N
Auburn, WA 98002
(253) 939-6087

As far as a meeting place, I'm down with just meeting in the Sheraton lot. I can get there about 7:30, that should give us plenty of time to make it down to the track before 9. Anyone up North want to do that too? Or last resort, just meet at the track lol.

On a Sunday morning, I'm guessing 30-45 min from Bellevue. And yep, Pacific Raceways is the place. It's the only track I know of in the area too haha.

But you're not burning race ga$ on the 8 or 9 miles between the station and the track.

Bring the V-Max

I'll meet you guys are the track as well.

It'll be cool if we can all line up near each other, so let's meet inside Pacific Raceways between 8:15 - 8:30. After you enter the track and pay, there will be a large parking lot on the right just before you enter the track. Let's quickly meet in that lot. Once we are all there, we can drive over and get tech'ed together.
