It's three hours from Seattle to Portland. Which is perfect, since one of you can come get me! I'm just kidding, but I don't have an S2000 yet. I'd love to come out and tag along with you guys though so I can see what these machines can do! I can meet you guys anywhere that's convenient.

I made it from Vancouver BC to Portland in 4.5 hours after the Molson Indy Vancouver let out. That includes stopping for a quick bite and a fill up.

Had to really haul butt to do that. Probably wouldn't do it quite that enthusiastically again. I just really wanted to get out of Vancouver after the race, and I guess I forgot to slow down afterwards Had fun in the CL-S against some very skilled driver in a Ford Focus Wagon. If you've made the drive, you know the twisty section of 5 just south of the border. This Focus driver knew how to corner

Seattle to Portland is usually about 3 hours, depending on traffic. Sometimes you can go a bit quicker, since the speed limit is higher in WA than in OR. All in all, figure 3 hours 15 mins to get where you need to go.

This is great.

It seems Portland, OR is the "central" location for the NW S2K owners.

Any suggestions on the event?

if you all meet in Portland, I'd like to see if I can come up. I may be in CA but I still have my valid Oregon plates for my S2k...somewhere...does that count? or can only my car come?

I said this in another thread, I told S2Ki that I was willing to maintain a NW Honda S2000 chapter in the NW, they never replied to my email. we can still do it, Portland is by far the best centralized area for regional meets but that would not stop all the North Washington people from meeting amongst themselves often.
