Porsche club event PNW at the Ridge today. Come on out to watch Get some break in miles. I only have 1200 on the 4 and so will have the GT3 to track today. In Shelton. Weather should be good.

The ORPCA arrive & drive hit a bunch of rain this Saturday...I was the only GT4. 21 cars. Route up to Larch Mountain, which has some of the worst roads I've seen...a pot-hole mine field.

Hey Seattle/Bellevue folks-

We plan to be in Seattle the weekend July 29th/30th - possible 31st - anything going on?

Schedule is still being worked...have lots of car stuff to get done while I am up there.

I am monitoring E@RTC.

Staying in Ballard. Anyone know of a safe place to park my car overnight??

Feel free to PM me.

Thanks, -mark

Bummer! We went to Porsche day at Exotics in Redmond and saw a bunch of nice GT4 and what seemed like nearly every GT3 ever made! Plus a few new GT3RS (including one in Voodoo Blue), a handful of nice old Turbo, and an amazing 914/6!

Really neat event and very well run.

I've got a high school reunion this weekend, so no autocross for me. Have a great time, and kick some butt, S03 buddies.

I am not sure I have seen truly "secure" overnight parking. I have a secure facility but it's over by the airport. PM if that would work and we can discuss.

My non-profit has Maryhill Loops Road in Goldendale, WA reserved for Sunday, September 11th and we are inviting friends and car lovers to come drive the road. We will have two sessions --- 9 AM to 1 PM and 1 PM to 5 PM --- and running two groups of 15 cars in each session to maximize drive time. Fast up, slow down, your regular car insurance should be fine since it is not a track, no helmet required.

Each session is only $50 and this road highlights the best of the GT4's capabilities. You can register via the links below or PM me questions.

MORNING SESSION: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/maryhil...ts-26630934843

AFTERNOON SESSION: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/maryhil...ts-26630939858

Feel free to share with like minded friends and groups! We would love to see some GT4 out there!!

I have done the Loops before... Awesome road! If you don't mind a Spyder in the mix, I might sign up!

Thanks - I just wasn't comfortable with street parking overnight. Found a garage with overnight by 14th and Lovejoy.

Spyder would be more than welcome! The Cayman/Boxster platform was built for this road!

Seattle/Bellevue folks - who's going to show up to Erotics@RTC on Saturday?? I'm driving up from Portland, OR with my Carmine Red GT4.

Also still looking for a safe place to park my car overnight - staying in Ballard.

Thanks,
-mark

Mark - I will be there. Look forward to meeting you.

I am in Greenlake and can offer you a spot on my parking pad. It is outside, off of an alley and will definitely scrape on the way in/out on the hills, but will be safer than parking on the street in Ballard as a last resort. Email me at gerbermf@gmail.com if interested.

Matt
