Default For the GTOs on this board...

We're putting together a GTO cruise around Mt. Rainier on July 26th. I know some of you don't generally check the other GTO only boards, so I thought I'd share the link with you here. The following thread will be updated with more details as they come together. We have 17 GTOs signed on so far including both new and classics.

If you'd like to come that would be fine. We just don't want to open it up as a general invite and end up with more non-GTOs there than GTOs.

You can sign me up just ensure that the meeting places are definitive as last year I was ahead of everyone for a cruise to the Ridge by 45 mins and missed all the fun. This time lets make sure we know have the meeting spots noted with at least phone numbers for the member arranging everything.

The 3 of you in this thread, plus the couple of Corvette guys that used to own GTOs are all good to go. We should have around 20 GTOs, so 3 F-bods and 2 Vettes should be fine without overpowering the GTO theme.

brakes finally came in (a week later than promised)
probably won't be on by this weekend


I may still come,
but I'd be on my bike

I gotta check out the rout,
see if it's a ride the GF and I wanna do.


this summer has sucked for the gto,
between the clutch, brakes, track rain out's, ect...

not to mention,
when the weather got nice, I got myself a new motorcycle

The pass reports are all good to go. So, are your brakes undriveable right now? We're not racing after all.
