That looks like it's in my nephew's back yard. Too many shows, too little time.

I have been in years past as a spectator. It is a lovely venue and a lot more casual than the Portland event. I want to go again with the car but it won't be this year. I was thinking I could just make a long day of it. Blast up there early in the morning and cruise back in the evening once the show was over. Maybe next year.

My only complaint in the past was the parking lot they use.
If it was hot...it made it a lot hotter

It's close to home and I've visited the last two years, but not entered the car. There are a few 7s and 8s that show up. It's a nice show, but I always seem to have something else going on so I can't spend all day. I may do that again this year. Are you thinking of going?

It's a long way for me to bring one of my 7s up from Bend. But I do like to attend. If I'm in SEA I will attend for sure.

This will be the first one I miss in many years. My 7 is out for the entire season this year. The 2009 repaint began failing after Flagstaff last fall and after protracted discussion, the paint manufacturer and the shop are making it right. When that's done, I'll be taking care of a leaky brake booster (somehow) and a few other details.
I had reservations made a year ago for Triumphest/VTR but that's off the schedule as well. I won't even be in the Tyee 50th anniversary photo that's shooting next week.

Next year!

Brake boosters can be rebuilt. Not sure where you'd get rebuild kit off hand but Robsport has servo exchange service so I guess they do it. There is an internal spring so when you untwist the case you have to have it compressed so it doesn't fly apart.
