Whats up PNW? I will be moving up to Naval Station Kitsap in Washington to be stationed on the USS Stennis. I'm originally from Jacksonville, Florida, and i've never been anywhere outside the southeast. Just wondering what goes on up there. Any tracks to road race? Good shops? Clubs and meets? Any fill in would be appreciated, and I look forward to kickin it with you guys!

 

bring your rain gear!!!
and welcome to the pnw........

 

Pacific raceways has a road course as well as lots of scca action up there. Oh yeah and welcome to the PNW!

 

Welcome! I came to the PNW from the midwest (Minnesota), and it is so beautiful here! You will love it!

The Scion groups, and car clubs in general, are very active here. It's a really great group of people, and you will always find something fun to do!

Good luck with the move...hope to see you around!

 

welcome to the PNW

i hope you like rain and snow LOL

other then that we do have meet and greets every friday so if you want to meet more owners and groups come and join us.

We are never a boring crowd.

 

Early welcome to the PNW where, if its not raining now, it will be soon. Lots of stuff going on thru out the year around here, hope to see you around.

 

Welcome.......yes we have lots of meets......lots of shows........lots of fun......there are a few tracks for racing......there are a few guys in your area as well who can show you around.

As for teams we have Team Ascension,SE,Baliztics,Scikotics,and SDG and that is about it around here.

We have a local show in a couple of weeks......it is a food drive show at Titus Will Toyota and entry is food donation,there will be food and prizes and a chance to meet some locals.

Kinda like said above! There are a bunch of shops and a SCCA does do a bunch of events starting with the "slush run" in like Feb. Welcome to one of the busiest fourms on the site!

 

An early "Welcome Aboard" to the NW.
let us know when you are leaving Fl.
and I can help with the routing if you need.

Just remember the rain up here is cold, not warm like in Florida.

 

welcome! ur gonna have so much fun

 

awesome thanks a lot guys. yeah i've only seen snow once. i'm used to 100% humidity and temps around 80 degrees at christmas, so this should be a life changing event. i should be getting up there around thanksgiving. i'll post up when the move is complete so i can find out when you guys are meeting up, unless of course it's every friday. how's my turbo gonna do up there in the cold? i've heard the term "cold starts" but never knew what it meant. thanks guys

 

Welcome to the PNW...can't wait to meet cha when you get up here...Don't expect a white Christmas up here lol more like a wet one...it's going to be a drastic change for you we probly have a lot more green than you are used to lol

 

If you're interested in doing some of the SCCA runs both my husband and I go out every run and throw the tC around. He's a fantastic teacher if you've never done it before and there's always space for a co driver with either of us, however, he's way faster.... for now

 

^^^ sounds good. i need to get better suspension and a brake upgrade and i'll be all set for the track. are turbos bad in the cold weather? i dont wanna blow the engine lol.

 

welcome and as you can see we are all active.

have fun.

 

Welcome! I'm west of you in Port Angeles, so probably will see you around Bremerton/Silverdale cuz I'll be over there fishing the next couple months...anyways, I'm from SoCal so yeah, it took some time adjusting to the weather. Just keep busy and don't get "S.A.D", the sun will be back soon! rossesfingers:

 

Welocme to the PNW. You cant beat the scion comunity up here. I really dont liek Washinton other than the events and scion community up here. My love is for Florida. Im from Tampa area. But there are tons of meets awesome people, good shops, and some good people that work at the dealers.

 

I never had any issues. I use 5w-40 synthetic or 0w-40 and never had issues warm or cold. My engine actually prefers the cold weather. Just let the turbo warm up before romping on it and it'll be fine. Have fun!

 

Welcome, if you love fresh air and MT. we have it all up here! and the rain ant that bad!! it grows moss on yah and keeps you warm when it's cold.
