Title: 4th Annual Cruise For The Cure
Post by: Shane on April 02, 2007, 06:18:00 PM
The Dglvk did this event and sponsered it last year. It is a great event for a great cause....

The Date: May 6th. as always the first Sunday in May.
The Start: Courtyard Marriot in Federal Way 320th St Exit
The Meet: Start showing up by 8:00 am
The Departure: 10:00 am
We will finish up at Lake Sammamish State Park. Silent auction, raffle and donations. Bring lots of money and buy lots of tickets or just fill the donation jars.
This year the charity is The Arthritis Foundation Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis in honor of one of our own: Sadie Jordan, Bill Jordan's daughter. Make checks out to 'The Arthritis Foundation'
Host Hotel information:

Cruise was not too long and this year I think they are making it a bit shorter .... Host hotel only has 3 days left to reserve, They also got Media sponsership this year so it is gonna be huge,,, and on TV

Do you need a passport now???
Title: 4th Annual Cruise For The Cure
Post by: ~Manda on April 02, 2007, 09:25:43 PM
no passport needed as of yet to drive across the border, they are talking about Jan 2008 or 2009 for that.
Only need it to fly at the moment.

i had to abort the mission. i had oil pissing out the 3/4 valve cover that i tried to fix a couple times but it kept leaking. thanks to mike, bill & brian for their patience. B)

have fun guys.
Title: 4th Annual Cruise For The Cure
Post by: Geoff on May 06, 2007, 07:44:50 PM
I got to the border @ 6;40am with Jag and thought we missed you guys so we put it in 5th and hit the gas to catch up. After an hour of 80+ MPH we were almost there and kinda figured out we must have been ahead of you. Good to see everyone make it down. Shane,Amanda,Chris,Courtney,Mike,Briab Moni,Bill and the others. Amazing turn out! There must have been 350-400 cars there or so it looked. Not much of a cruise more of a Gumball rally with speeds upto 90mph at times, lot's of fun. I'll be back  next year for sure!

Silas, did you make it back okay?
yup, i made it back ok after a slight side of the highway modification to the valve cover. i kept the rpms down and the speed at 55mph and cruised home with only a slight drip. wierd that it only seemed to happen after lengthy high rpm cruises at 70mph.

today i changed the cover (it was bent out, but only slightly), flipped the bail and put in some new cork gaskets so hopefully that'll cure it.

sounds like great fun was had by all. i was bummed that i couldnt make it down to support the cause. next time. B)
