Default Seattle/Tacoma forums???

Hey guys. I'm in the Air Force stationed out here in North Carolina. I'm going to try to get moved to McCord AFB in Tacoma. Are there any Seattle forums around that I can get into to learn the scene? One of the harder things for me to do when I move is going to be leaving my shop/mechanic here. So I'm gonna need to find another good one if I get out there. Any help with shops/forums in the Tacoma/Seattle area would help.

hey someone from NO hope pope.

My husband was stationed there beck in the late 80s early 90s, before he went reserves & came home.

As for shops if its got a computer in it, that would be Ellis he lives up in monroe which is a drive for us, but he does good work & its worth it.

as for groups you have this one, I will let these guys talk about that.

but there are Camaro cruizers & PNWCC as well.

it just a matter of what you want to do.

I'm stationed here at McChord and have been here for almost 3 years. I prefer this section of this forum. There are other's as well, but this is my favorite. Then again I'm into drag racing mainly.

What rank are you and what do you do? What is your RNLTD?

I'm attached to the flying squadrons.

One of our sponsors, Turbo Tech, is right in Tacoma only a few miles from base. They will do pretty much anything you need done. A few people on this forum run their turbo setups as well.

I'm a SSgt. I'm in the dirt right now. I've been in for 5 years...first term, so I'm hoping to get a BOP to McCord. My AFSC is a crew chief...130's. I've worked ISO for about 3 years, but when I go back stateside, I will be in A/R.

Full time, but I'm only going to extend long enough to get my BOP...then I will think about the reserves.
