Im in for 25$ paddock parking, so i can show off my stock car amongst the USA ricers

ttps://maps.app.goo.gl/4LwUrPGvmaxpSNmHA
Time: 10-11am

Will be departing the taco joint at 11am. Arrival for pacific raceways for 1pm-130pm.

If the organizer needs us to be in the gate before a certain time the above times will be adjusted closer to Mar 17th.

Bring your camping chairs

[Badhobz]

IM DOWN!

I will bring either ze camry, or ze ratrolla

probably just do paddock parking too

[roastpuff]

If the S2K is up and running by then (some planned upgrades), will join in with that, if not then the Audi wagon.

[bcrdukes]

Will the R53 Mini with 327K KM on the original engine make it? :suspicious:

Perhaps the only way to find out is..by going. :fuckyea:

[RabidRat]

^ Yeah could be a :fuckyea: -> FeelsBadMan. But, it would likely show up as a square next month on donk.'s RS Bingo, so either way you win.

Shiet, sounds like it'll be a good time!

[bcrdukes]

Drive up from SF!

[Badhobz]

yeah its only like 10hs rat SeemsGood

[BIC_BAWS]

Group drive?! Man when you msg'd me this morning I thought I'd be passenger princess LOL

Hopefully I put my stock exhaust back on by then. Might shoot my brains out if not.

[dark0821]

Need to convince kids to go/// spring break.... then wife will have to say yes LOL

I wanted you on my lap obviously

Get that exhaust swapped or bring ear plugs like ridge :D

[bcrdukes]

^ @dark0821 - Tell her you are taking her to the LV store

[68style]

I AM IN FOR MEAT AND LAPS

[donk.]

Buy your tickets ladies, 3 tickets purchased for paddock parking here

Basic details updated in first post

[roastpuff]

You're bringing 3 cars? Lol

[donk.]

Well yea.... Gotta show off the sls and M12 that i never take out

[68style]

Have you ever been to the $1.50 taco place in Bellingham?? Fuckin crazeeeeeee

[Razor Ramon HG]

Have you ever been to the $1.50 taco place in Bellingham?? Fuckin crazeeeeeee

I went to Netos and Mi Rancho (which I think is the place you're talking about) a few months ago.

Tacos at both places were crazy good. Netos was better, but was like double the price, so.

[GIZZ]

Might be really good if the dragstrip is open and they let you hotlap.

[roastpuff]

No hotlap - they have a lead-follow thing going for 3 laps ($75). Also drag strip may or may not be open, would be fun to smoke some people in the Audi wagon. Surprisingly fast!

[Badhobz]

what if..... i take the camry, cant keep up with that thing going around for 3 laps and then proceed to crash into a barrier cuz its a camry? would be 1) hilarious 2) RS legend

[BIC_BAWS]

Pre meat location: Taco shop in Blaine.

Will definitely give you shits while you're on I5 but absolutely delicious

[roastpuff]

I bought my ticket. I better not show up there alone :sad:

[dark0821]

Can there be an official list going so I can show my wife that there will actually be Vancouver people going down? lol

[dark0821]

how many people going down have a Nexus pass?

[68style]

Not me!

[donk.]

^ x2

If theres a long lineup you drive the first part of nexus lane, then into duty free, buy 10$ of ferreros, and back into the line for 10-20 minutes, and your over the border

Inbox myself if you want to join the whatsapp group for the drive down

lol our track day trick

[68style]

The last few times I tried to do that, I ended up in a 5 lane circus inside the Duty Free parking lot and they slowly released first Nexus people and then regular people from the parking lot... it was just as long if not longer than the regular lineup :(

[Badhobz]

Spring fest ! Spring fest !https://media.tenor.com/6TrXczOzfbgAAAAM/chongli.gif Spring fest !!

[Badhobz]

Springfest in KENT was bonkers!!!

the good:

- there must have been over 300 rides at this place. Like hundreds of people. Some very unique and interesting rides. Cosworth Escort, a super clean RX7 FD left hand drive, and of course my favorite one. DONK (in da butt) ass camero

https://i.postimg.cc/s2BhdBWf/donk.jpg

- interesting people.... there was A LOT of women there. like young.. a bit trailer trashy, but im surprised at the demographic. Like its at least 50% women if not more. A lot of the rides were also modified and done by women... maybe like 20-30%? its mind-blowing how the demographics have changed.

- While i was leaving, one guy said about my ratrolla "hey its the ultimate dentists car!" to which 69style replied to him, No he's a gynecologist and had that dude rolling

The bad:

- Took an hour just getting into the event. The lineup was onto the highway.
- the food was ridiculously overpriced and wasnt that tasty.
- Merch was limited and pricy but i got a Kimoji-style tether for my ratrolla and some stickers (including 2 free motul stickers)
https://kimoji-style.myshopify.com/

I also got nailed for speeding by some cop in skagit. The dude wont even show me his radar, he said i was doing 90 in a 70. im like yeah? show me the evidence. hes like ohh the radar is attached to the car and i cant show you for security reasons. im like so you have to aim with your vehicle instead of using a handheld? he hesitated for a moment and was like uhhh yeah. anyways you can pay in a multitude of ways! online, in person, etc etc.

[Badhobz]

P.s. 300+ cars and I brought the only LC500…. What the fuck. I was hoping to talk to see other ratrollas and see their builds. Nope. Not a single one.

Bunch of RC Fs and ISFs though.

the good:

Theres only one reason i go to these events.... ^^^^^

[Badhobz]

I don’t drink that much bubble tea !!! Yeah okay I do

[jpark]

i saw your guys's cars but couldnt find you guys :(

Honestly, $26usd for a ticket just to see a crap ton of clapped out shit boxes and fukbois lmao and only a handful of cool builds. see you never springfest :rukidding:

[bcrdukes]

Was this better than a stock and noob meet?

[Badhobz]

^better?! no way. not better. just different.

its more like if you condensed all of maple ridge into a car meet. Or if you attended a crazy clown possy meet with a lot of juggalos. It was like that.

RS meets are more of a classy affair. Full of multimillionaires urbanites and disposable income. But you dont get a tasty looking girl like the one on the far right.

DONT TROLL ME AND SAY THAT PURPLE JUGGALIO WOMAN IS TASTY. SHE AINT.
