Centralia

[Boostedstr8six]

Same place as last year. April 9th.

SF Thread (http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=2914448#post2914448)

The SF group hasn't locked in yet but it looks like a lot of people want it to happen. I'm planning on it, just need to get everyone else to agree.

[Boostedstr8six]

No one?

[IHI-RHC7]

can't read the thread, as I don't wish to be a member of SF.
But I'd love to go.

Here are the complete details (in case you've never attended one of these regional meets):

WHAT: PacNW Regional Supra meet, greet & eat)

WHEN: Saturday, April 9, 2005 at high noon (Come earlier or later if you so desire)

WHERE: Centralia, Washington, **EAST** side of Exit 82 on I-5 at the Factory Outlet Stores area.

HOW TO GET THERE:

I-5 Southbound, Take the Harrison Ave (mile marker #82) off ramp. Turn LEFT
at the intersection and proceed EAST to the parking lot...

I-5 Northbound: Take the Harrison Ave (mile marker #82) off ramp. Turn RIGHT


**EDIT** Just learned that the meet will be on the EAST side of I-5. I modified the directions above to reflect that but I don't know the detailed directions to the specific parking lot....it should be easy to find a parking lot full of supras right on the EAST side of the freeway. It's MKIIIs, MKIVs, and whatever else shows up.

Here's a quote from the dude on SF who has been organizing this.

clarification: East side. this is confirmed. I'm trying to keep track of the mailing list and three different forums, i forget where i post stuff sometimes. if someone wants to post some directions who can describe the place better than i can (that's most of you), feel free to do so. i am planning a seattle caravan from the Northgate parking lot at 10 (leaving at 10, be there at 9) with all the usual stops (provided someone knows where those are because i've forgotten), so post if you're going to show up for the caravan also. anyone in the south want to get a caravan going?

[americanjebus]

Was wondering if any Tacoma Supras, want to roll to Centralia together? Maybe meet @ Krispy Kreme, or try to link up with the Seattle group? The pack gives courage for a high speed test!

See edit post above ^

i am the one organizing this thing on supraforums, and yes, everything so far is correct. i had not posted on this board because Boostedstr8six had already done so, but since SF is down, i am trying to confirm everywhere. everything that was posted by boostedstr8six is correct, and the event is on. I have about 18 (i think) confirmed supras for this event (don't know the breakdown for sure, but i believe that mkII, mkIII, and mkIV supras are all represented. not sure about mkI). i would be happy to link up with the tacoma supras, probably about 10:30 or so depending on traffic, just let me know where. ideally, it would be somewhere very close to a freeway exit that has a decent sized parking lot. go ahead and post up where you would want to meet (and a car count so i can update) and we'll link up.

i replied on the SF, but i guess ill reply on here too. Im definately in! last year, i was in the north caravan, and we met at northgate (i think it was the northwest lot?), then picked up some more people around tacoma (tacoma mall parking lot). is the caravan really going to happen again? cya all there!

[Boostedstr8six]

I'll be driving down from the Oly Peninsula and would like to join tacoma group on my way down. If any of you are gathering there, could you PM me with the details. Thanks.

PS--glad I got the right info. ;)

Looks like everyone in the S. end, are meeting up at Tacoma Mall parking lot, hopefully by Krispy Kreme! It would be cool to see the N. end convoy roll in, for a massive convoy down to Centralia. I plan on being up @ KK, around 10:00am. Hope to see a shit load of Sup's there! (Rain or shine!)

we'll pick you all up at about ~10:30-11:00 or so depending on when we leave and traffic. i'll just look for supras. i have no idea how many people are coming from the seattle area and are meeting at northgate.

[91T breezen']

Looks like there is some talk of meeting further south, at the rest area(?) in Tacoma. It's difficult to access the freeway again from the mall parking lot. I'm still going to be @ Krispy Kreme, just a little earlier. Looks like the weather might actually cooperate too!? I'm trying to get the word out through a local speed shop too, he's seen two MIII's within the last week and a half, that I've never seen around on the streets of the Federal Way/Tacoma area. A heavy night of posting, might pull some more in, hopefully! see ya there!

FINAL UPDATE:

When: April 9th (saturday)
Where: centralia Factory Outlet Mall, East parking lot (I-5 exit #82)

Caravans:
Northgate, leaving at 10:00am, show up whenever before that

Federal way costco, leaving probably around 10:30. we will not stop long here, so be ready to go around that time. i hope someone at northgate knows where this is because i sure don't.

Tacoma mall near krispy kreme, leaving around 10:45-11:00 or so. Don't know how we're going to coordinate everyone getting to the freeway, so we'll figure that out when we get there.

we will be at centralia around noon or so in the EAST parking lot. if you're not there, you'd better be dead or in jail, and if you're in jail, then break out.

current car count: 25 or so. nice weather, so i expect 30-40. note: this post is copied on supramania, nwforums, and the pacnw mailing list.

Good thing nobody will miss me. I got pulled out of a pack of 55 in a 45 speeders and discovered my insurance has expired. The supe is parked until I get things straight. I'm pretty fucking bummed out. I had been looking forward to this meet for a while after last year's meet. Oh, well. :wtc:
