Question... Why wouldn't we all just meet up at E@RTC (making sure to park in the first row for an easy get away) at our usual 8AM Pacific Time and grab some coffee (and/or a bathroom break) vs meeting up at our secret location of Ashway P&R? I'd much rather meet at E@RTC first before starting our drive... Could we change the meet up location to E@RTC?

Ok how about those of us that want to meet at RTC do so and meet around 8:00 and then we head out about 9:00 for the other meeting point at Ashway. This is going to be long event especially with the stops along the way for photo ops and a comfortable lunch in Winthrop. If we depart to late this could drag into the evening and this is planned as a day trip not an overnighter. I'll come down to RTC and lead the way back north to meet up with Mookie and the participants waiting there.

Sounds like fun guys... I meet up with Anthony, Nick and Mike on the south end around 7:30 and typically get up there around 8:30.

Looking forward to this drive, I've been wanting to do it for quite some time now.

Would you guys be open to some of the exotics crowd joining us or would you prefer to keep it vette only?

I'm OK with the exotics crowd joining in, but only if they can keep up. I've been known to set a blistering pace of 60 per, on the really long straight-aways!

Default Tentatively in

Sounds tempting. I'll check with my wife's schedule and confirm if we can make it. Have done the HWY 20 drive to Winthrop a number of times and it is great. However - it is an ALL day event - particularly if the return is via HWY 2 (Stevens Pass).

We meet up at the Sbux at the supermall (across from ihop) every saturday morning at 7:30.

Would be cool having another vette join in more often

RE: Exotics crowd joining us on this drive. I don't want to hijack at all but if everyone is open to it I'm sure some of them would enjoy the drive too. A line of vettes with a Mclaren and a couple Lambos behind wouldn't necessarily look THAT bad either

Mook, NW94, your call as it's your drive guys Either way I'm in.

Additionally, Racer, if you like ERTC I go every weekend and we meet at that sbux every Saturday that is nice (will be there this coming Saturday). Driving up, Anthony occasionally gets a little spirited, but Nick and Mike don't like to speed so it doesn't get out of hand and it's more of just an occasionally spurt.

This is Mookie's show. I've offered to help wrangle the guys that are meeting up E@RTC. It's his call on participation.

See you south enders at RTC at 8:00.

I'm open to seeing others join us.. If they are allowed to show off at RTC, why not. :-) All I ask for is no tail gating...
