    Passing it along. Sorry most of this does not apply to us, however there is some info. I felt made it worth sending.

    Thanks!! I understand now. I had forgot about the event at Pacific Raceway that same day and got mixed up.

Hey Mark:

To answer your first question, I'd like CLNW to lead (whoever would like to approach the WCLM this way) to The Ridge Motorsports Park and getting there at noon still sounds good. After that, I will be more than happy to lead the rest of the way to the "Host Hotel" in Bellevue, by way of Kitsap Peninsula and a ferryboat ride. I mean, what a neat way to arrive in Seattle... especially for those from "down south"!?!! At this point The Ridge doesn't have anything scheduled that day, but that might change. It may be a very brief "introduction" to this track facility.

The people who want to take part in the "High Performance Driving Experience" at Pacific Raceway on Thursday, July 4th need to be there at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning (for breakfast and classroom talk), so they may skip over the Portland pre-event or will need to get up at the "crack of dawn" to get to Pacific Raceway that early... they won't
 be taking a casual drive-in-the-country to get to the "Host Hotel" that evening.

Okay, maybe I mis-spoke a little bit about the CLNW Track Days on the Fridays of Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends... sorry about that!

    On July 4th is CLNW leading the caravan to The Ridge or Pacific Raceway? Is the plan still to be there at noon?

    Our Events on July 3rd start in the early evening.

    Both of the CLNW Track Days, every year on the Fri. of Memorial and Labor Day weekends at Portland International Raceway, welcome all marques not just Lotus and any kind of race car.

Thanks
 Mark

Hello everybody:

Just figured that you'd like to know that seven ELCC members got together this past Sunday afternoon and talked about a number of things regarding our Lotus Car Club and the various activities that are coming up this year, so I thought that you might be interested in a list of the activities that we already know about, namely...

February -

This month is a little light so far, but of course we will have one of our casual "First Thursday" get togethers on February 7th, which will take place at the Market Arms in Ballard. I also hope that we'll have a "Shop Tour" at Goodman Racing in the Interbay Area this month, but it may have to be scheduled in March... more info soon.

March -

Another ELCC "First Thursday" thing this month onMarch 7th. And, I'd really like our club to have an ELCC "Spring Drive" this month... can I get a volunteer to arrange a route and lead this???

April -

Another "First Thursday" get together on April 4th. There'll be a "Test & Tune" session at The Ridge Motorsports Park (In Shelton) on Friday, April 12th and a SCCA sanctioned race on Saturday, April 13th & Sunday 14th. The fun "Tulip Rally" comes up on Saturday, April 20th... I'm hoping that we'll have a good contingent of ELCC members turn out for this (maybe stay overnight in La Conner the night before!?).  ProFormance Racing School will be at The Ridge on Monday, April 22nd (get in touch with them to sign up!). A "Test & Tune" session will occur at Pacific Raceway on Friday the 26th in advance of SOVREN's "Spring Sprints" will happen on Saturday, April 27th and Sunday, April 28th.

May -

Another fun "First Thursday" will happen on May 2nd. The NW Porsche Car Club is scheduled to be at The Ridge onFriday, May 3rd if you are interested in watching. And, the Ferrari Car Club will be at The Ridge on Wednesday, May 8th for some fun! Then, later in the month, the Vancouver All British Field Meet (ABFM) will occur up in the gorgeous Van Dusen Gardens near downtown Vancouver, BC on Saturday, May 18... I'm also hoping that we have a good turnout of ELCC members at this event, because it's a lot of fun and, besides, if we make a good showing up there, a bunch of the Lotus Car Club of British Columbia members will probably attend our Western Washington ABFM! And, maybe there's room in this month for another drive-in-the-country... volunteers?

June -

Another busy month, with a SOVREN event in Spokane on Saturday, the 1st and Sunday the 2nd. Another "First Thursday" on June 6th. A racing school called Turn 2 will be having a "Lapping Day" at The Ridge on Friday, June 7th. Turn 2 will be back at The Ridge on Friday the 14th. The NW Porsche Car Club will be having another event at The Ridge on Saturday, June 15th. ELCC-members Alan Perry & Corky Russell will be involved with the Olympus Rally on Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd (call them for more info if you're interested). And Turn 2 will return to The Ridge on Monday, June 24th.

July -

This will be a busy month, starting with the West Coast Lotus Meet (WCLM) that will run from a pre-WCLM activity down in Portland in the afternoon/evening ofWednesday, July 3rd, a pre-WCLM driving event during the day of Thursday, July 4th at Pacific Raceway and on to the basic WCLM that evening and runs through Sunday afternoon, July 7th, plus there's an opportunity to attend a post-WCLM event on Monday, July 8th up in British Columbia... I really hope a lot of our members will be involved in this special multi-day event. There'll be a Pre-LeMons event at The Ridge on Friday, June 19th which will continue to the LeMons 24 Hour event on the 20th & 21st. Turn 2 will return to The Ridge again for another "Lapping Day" on Monday, June 22nd.  Turn 2 again at The Ridge, July 26th. Also on Friday the 26th there will be a Cocktail Party in advance of the Western Washington ABFM which is scheduled forSaturday, July 27th. And, there'll be another SCCA Regional
 event at The Ridge on both Saturday the 27th and Sunday the 28th.

August -

At this point I don't know  much about August other than we'll of course have another of our "First Thursday" get togethers on the 1st. On Sunday, August 25th there will be casual Concours event up on San Juan Island (contact ELCC-member Chris Curtis about this!).There will be a Lotus-only track day event down at Portland International Raceway onFriday the 30th, the Portland ABFM on the 31st and the SOVREN "Columbia River Classic" that runs both Saturday (the 31st) and Sunday, September 1st.

September -

See above about September 1st. We'll have an ELCC "First Thursday" get together on the 5th. The Kirkland Concours d'Elegance will occur at LeMay - America's Car Museum on Sunday, September 8th. And SOVREN will have their "Fall Finale" Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd, probably with a "Test & Tune" on Friday, the 20th. How about if we have an ELCC "Fall Drive" this month?... any volunteers??

October -

There'll be one of our ELCC "First Thursday" get togethers on October 3rd. And, the Maryhill Car Show will occur at the Maryhill Art Museum on Saturday, October 5th at the end of which they have a bbq dinner and the SOVREN Maryhill Hill Climb event will occur on Sunday the 6th... this is another unique event at which I hope we'll have a good contingent of ELCC members!

Then there's November and December... more about them later.

PS: If you are interested in other car activities and events, you can easily look them up on the various websites for the local: Alfa Romeo Car Club (they often have "Track Days" which anybody can attend); the MG Car Club (they have many driving events that we are always welcome to
 attend); the DeLorean Car Club (I mean, under the stainless steel skin, they are a similar car to the Lotus Esprit), and; any number of other automotive activities such as the weekly events at the XXX in Issaquah, the Greenwood Car Show, etc., etc., etc.

PPS: If you haven't sent in your ELCC dues renewal, this would be a good time to do and, besides, I just ordered another small batch of 2013 ELCC calendars if you are interested in ordering one!?!!
