Good point. Lets keep it on April then. Lets plan a nice route.

Me and Loesch are coming up with something. We're actually going to go drive it and make sure the roads are nice before we go. We'll keep updating this with what were are finding out. Date set at April 20th.

I'm keeping up to date route information on our blog if you guys want to check it out...I'm such a nerd. We still need to confirm but this should be pretty close.

Here's a preview of Centralia. The old Route 61 that is collapsing from the fire and some of the abandoned side streets.

Bump

Hey MuNkY can you update the OP with the list of who's going? That way we can check it out at a glance.

Also, I just posted this event to the local car club in the area. Some crazy cars may just show up

[MuNkY6913]

Done! I really cant believe with that many views there's only a hand full of us willing to do a cruise day combined with dragstrip. Either way its still gonna be bad ass. Cant wait! Wish VRSF would get on shipping the downpipes already!

[MuNkY6913]

Looks like we might have to change the date. Penn state is having the blue and white football game on 420. That was going to be our meeting spot since the stadium is so easy to find. We also had interest from the penn state car club. I'm figuring alot of people around here are going to end up going to that instead. Loesch had suggested we make it the 27th. I guess I can live with that. We still haven't been able to drive the route I'm sure that will happen by the end of this month. So now the date is set at April 27th. I'll also update the op.

This sounds like a good idea to me. As someone who lives less than 20 miles from Centralia, I know all of the good back roads These mountains suck in the winter, we just got 3 inches of snow yesterday, but in the spring there is nothing like those back winding mountain roads.

[loesch]

And more snow tomorrow.

I agree it's a good thing to wait until the end of April.

[MuNkY6913]

So you want me to put you on the list drgonzo? Would be nice to have someone along that knows Centralia.

[MuNkY6913]

Just added it to the M3 and M5 forums as well.

[MuNkY6913]

Also put it in the calender on the main page.

[MuNkY6913]

Changed the date to the 4th of May. The 27th wasn't actually a test a tune day. Has some ford show that day. May 4th. Be there. Stop making excuses. Be a nice chance for everyone to hang out before Bimmerfest in July. Not just Bimmers and coffee. This is Bimmers and drag races. How do you pass that up?

[MuNkY6913]

going tomorrow to drive the route to the drag strip. let you know how the roads are looking.

[MuNkY6913]

We went to the strip today, it was alot of fun. the roads aren't looking to bad.
We talked to the owner of the drag strip and explained what we are planning on here and he said if we bring a group of people he'll let us all go at $20 per car. anything running under 13.99 has to wear a helmet. I got to 13.3 and Loesch hit 13.1 before we got told we have to have a helmet. it doesn't have to be anything special, a motorcycle helmet will work. Here is a couple pictures of the track. One guy even ran a snowmobile, that thing was wicked fast.









This going to be a great time and i hope some more BMW's can show up. there was maybe 2 foreign cars there besides mine and Loesch's and they were subaru's. a whole bunch of domestic cars though. Hope more people will sign up for this.

[lostkhan]

Can't wait!

[MuNkY6913]

Two weeks! Hoping I have my car back by then. If not ill be riding shotgun with someone. Either way its still gonna be a good time.

[MuNkY6913]

got a call from the dealer and my car should be back to me tomorrow afternoon or monday morning pretty excited about that! then i get to put on the new hood and lower that bleep! cant wait to hit up the track again! sign up people. gonna be a great drive and an even better track day.

[MuNkY6913]

Saturday is coming quick! Lostkhan, your still down right? finally got the hood put on. i think it looks great with the wheels.

[loesch]

After all my JB4 troubles I should be able to still go too. Service Engine light and all.

Munky you might want to post this in your original post. Here's the meeting spot across from Beaver Stadium highlighted in yellow.
