Well we are just a few days out from the event. We are busy getting the last few things done. So far the weather looks like it will hold out for partly sunny. But it’s the northwest and sun wont really matter.

All the shirts are folded, last bits are bought, and we just need to pack up.

So what do you need to do ? Show up, bring a car, bring you family-wife-girlfriend. Maybe a BBQ, but there are (5) restaurants at our new location.

Get one the four shirts, buy some raffle tickets and get ready to have fun. Stop by the vendors and get a NOS Energy drink.

One of my favorites from last year.

Hundreds of pics from last year here - http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 714&type=3

I’d like to thank 425Motorsports, AAA Bellevue, Xtreme MotorSports, Griots, NOS Energy Drinks, MeisterWerks, WaterwerksNw, and the volunteer’s\staff that support what we are doing.

Really looking forward to the event. Loved it last year. Hoping we can finish the Starion in time... Engine and stand-alone being wired up as I type this... Dyno tuning in the next few days... If we can pull this off the car will literally be HOT of the press when it shows up. A zero miles build!!! :mrgreen:

Also got my kit in the mail Mike! T-shirts look great I'll be sure to wear it to the event.
Breakin' out the camera gear for this one... Gonna be GOOD!

See you all there.

About 5 cars are taking Kingston/Edmonds ferry over from Bremerton area...

Change that, 3 (Two Colts and a TE72) of us are meeting up at the Stanwood Park n Ride (exit 212) at 8am, ready to roll by 830am. If anyone else from up north is happening to drive down.

Its right down the road from the event.

Looks like the event opens at 10am, so we can plan to start our engines and roll out at around 9:50am

What time are you taking it over? I was debating the Kingston one since every time I go, theres a ginormous line. I wouldnt mind rolling with you guys...

Sadly things are not going well for the build. We've run in to an electrical issue. There seems to be an incompatibility between my crank trigger sensor and the new AEM in the car. unsure of when the issue will be resolved but it's not looking good for the meet.

That sucks! I know how that goes...

I'll probably still go to the event and at least hang for a few hours, but I'll take the MR2. Gah. Was really hoping the Starion would make it to this one

RaptorReed · **Posted:** Sun Jun 10, 2012 4:52 pm

Good turnout! Just need a bigger lot lol, but otherwise a good time and almost seemed like our JNCs were taking it over.
Everything from Honda civic/civic wagons to toyotas, dattos, Mitsu, Mazda, Subaru van, to all the euro cars.

Agreed the event was fantastic and I loved the venue! It did get packed... but that just means the turnout was good!
Thanks to the event organizers for putting this together. Even though the Starion didn't make it out, I still showed up to take photos and check out all that sweet steel. It was good to see familiar faces and nice to meet new people. 93cc I saw your car, but didn't see you walking around or else I would've said hi. Raptor, it was great to finally meet you in person!

If you guys want to do another Seattle area JNC meet in July I should have the car ready by then. Well... with luck... way before then.

I'll scrub the photos I took and post them up sometime this week.

Lots of nice cars at the event and great turnout. Wasn't expecting to see so many nice old school cars in one spot. Must continue to build mine

Mike, thanks for organizing this event! I had a blast even without my classic car. :tu:

I went to your facebook page and I found it a little confusing trying to see if there are any additional events this summer in the WA area where old Japanese cars would be welcomed. The next event I see is a VW meet? Please recommend any additional events that us old JNC guys can attend this summer.

Thanks again!
