From Seattle
it is a real toss up whether to Ferry
an hour and a half or more if the boats are messed up, or drive down
through Tacoma an hour and a half without traffic.
From Tacoma, travel
Highway 16 toward Bremerton. Take the Tacoma exit in Port Orchard
and go left on Old Clifton Road. Go Left on Sunnyslope Road.
Immediate right on Clifton road to end.
FAQ
It
used to be 40 bucks per car unlimited drivers, why per group now?
Well, this event has gotten very popular, and to keep it fun, we must
keep the number of cars on track at a reasonable amount-18
is just about the max. The track rental has DOUBLED since last year.
If 18
cars showed up they all ran three groups we'd lose money! Now I know
that won't happen, but let's face it, $40 per group for members is
still pretty cheap!
I
used to just pay at the gate, why do I have to send a check now?
Well, if you reserve a spot and don't show, someone may be turned
away that would have been able to participate, and the club would be
out those funds. This will prevent that from happening.
Can
I still show up, the day of the event, registrar, and pay at the gate?
Yes, but there will be no guarantees that there will be a spot for
you! Just mail in the $40/$80
bucks and DO IT!
OK, OK, the
sun's out and you are mad at your boss, blow the day off and come
over, you might get in! |
