I'm heading over tomorrow for my first auto-x at this site and was wondering what everyone's preferred method to get there is? I debating between the Seattle/Bremerton ferry and just going down 5 to 16 and driving up. The main thing is $35 in ferry costs and the insane time of the ferry in the morning (6am). Google shows about 1-1.5 hours for the drive from Renton, does that sound about right?

 

From Renton it shouldn't be more than an hour. I drive around. I know that some folks like to sleep on the ferry to be well rested for the event. Personal choice, I guess.

Just wanted to make sure that you are a member of a WWSCC affilited club such as SCCA, ACE, Torque Steerers, PacNW Miata Club etc otherwise they won't let you run!

 

OMG tomarrow is the auto x..... and its close to my house too....but i wont be able to run.... maybe ill stilll go check it out..

Weather forecast looks good. I'll get to play with a bunch of new things on the car: FSB, RA-1s and a fresh alignment. Let's hope for good things (especially after seeing my previous alignment settings ).

 

You sound ready for war! Have a good time. I'm skipping this one but will be involved as "Chief of Timing" for Slush #3.

I just hope I don't totally screw it up!

 

Haha, sounds like it. This is my first season is like 1.5 years where I'm dedicated; it's probably related to actually having money.

 

$$$ definitely makes for a bit more fun!

 

I'd drive around too but another ferry option is Fauntleroy (West Seattle) to Southworth.

 

Yeah I saw that option as well. The time to take the either ferry is about the same as the drive, so I'm pretty sure I'll be driving. An extra $30 in the pocket is always good and I'll just call it the entry fee Also, SA is in the afternoon group tomorrow, so no 5:30am stumbling around. I'm off to have a few IPAs now.

 

I would just drive around if I was you. I drive it often. I can make it from my house in Seattle to my house here in Bremerton in just under an hour. Thats driving about 65-70 mph the whole way. The ferry is nice if you want to rest for 45 min but it will cost you.
