Just irked me when I saw the club, got excited and then realized all the club events are in the Seattle area. Its not really a Northwest Club as much as its a Seattle Metro. Maybe I'm wrong but when I looked at your calendar all the events are in a 40 mile or less radius of Seattle. 49th annual hot rod show and swap meet is not a PNWCC sponsored event. This isnt the only club mis-named in Seattle as well. It seems that every club in Seattle calls themselves a NW club but limits its activities to Seattle. All I'm saying is the name should reflect the true region of activity of the club. Not try and make it sound bigger than it is by encompassing states that it does not really include. Ya this is a trivial gripe but none the less an accurate one. Their SCCA site does the same thing. Its bunk if you ask me.
I looked at your calendar all the events are in a 40 mile or less radius of Seattle Not really, You see alot of Seattle events because thats were most of our members live. As membership has grown we have added areas that serve our members & events near their homes.
Right now many of our officers right now live outside of 40miles from seattle. Our President & myself Live in Yelm. We have a membership of over 300 Members (membership is a family) a few of our members dont even live on this side of the country, Heck some of our members are not even in the US.
Bottom line we do & support what our members want. As the membership expands in locations so will the events.

I also guess that Jason F has been at the track alot here lately & Russel *cough* ******* *cough* has been getting alot of help managing the track this year.

99_black_SS_m6_T's,
I'll work on that tonight. Its kinda sad so many are not thinking in a proactive manner, they seem to wait until its on top of them before doing anything about it which is always too late. I'll pm it to you.

Regardless, the last thing I want to have to hear is SIR is facing the same demise as Portland International Raceway. Taking the scenario that is happening in Portland is a good template to apply to SIR before every track goes **** up.
I'll still find the state rep for Oregon and draft something up - its up to you all to do something with it.

We have lots of events that are NOT sponsored by us but our members are interested in. Hot August Nights is one of them. Last year we did a cruise to MT to visit a couple members that live there. This year we are doing a few criuses to Eastern Washington (some have not made it on the Events list as of yet). We also have shows in McKenna, Olympia, Grand Mound, Skykomish & doing get aways & cruises all over the place.

Right. thats all I was saying.
I expected something different when I looked at the name and found it online. Carrying the name PNW (Pacific NorthWest) I expected something more regional, (encompassing at least Oregon and Washington) same thing with the SCCA. I understand membership is open to anyone anywhere, but I'm not driving to Seattle or a surrounding area once a week. I was looking for activities in my area, not Seattle. I found the name to be misleading so I commented about it.
"We also have shows in McKenna, Olympia, Grand Mound, Skykomish & doing get aways & cruises all over the place."
You really think that excites me in Oregon? Again those places are all central to Seattle. Why not add Marysville and Bellingham to the list?
Not trying to be a dick, just didnt think the name matched the group. The group cruises to the National events are nice, but arent really the subject here.
Like I said when I was looking for a group close to me I was misled by the name of PNW and it irritated me. Thats all. Just curious how many people from Oregon are in your group?

We have several members in the portland area & thought Oregon that come to several of our events, We do not require our members to come to events or even meetings.
If you are looking for a club in that area,Columbian River Camaro club is down that way. This is one of our local sister clubs.
Please if you have a problem or questions pm me or Email our president Dan at Fastzhawk@hpiv.net

thx for the link.
Being part of a group means that you "want" to participate in the group events. Understanding that you can understand my concerns. Its got nothing to do with anyone running the club or in it, just the location. And its too bad as well, you sounded like your kind of fun in one of your other posts... "just look for the fat confused looking girl" lmao! It's kind of how I would show up, just a guy instead but definatley cornfused.. lol... and at 275 not that svelt either!

LOL Ellis, Todd & a couple others know me, When I am around the track or shows I am very Hyper. Thats why they give me jobs of running around making sure everything is in place or running around helping people. Bill Salia did that when he was race Director for CCC & RC did it last year. I am 5'3" & is bout 230lbs & I run from one end of the track (or show area) to the other end all day long.
