ImportMeet.com would like to officially announce the 3rd Annual Mt. Baker Import Run! Last year, we had over 60 cars in attendance despite the less than ideal weather. Our goal this year is to have over 150 cars cruise to the top of Mt. Baker.
When:
July 28th 2012
Pre-Meet – Sunset Square (Cost Cutter parking lot)
1275 E. Sunset Drive
Bellingham, WA 98226
Meet at 9:00 AM – Leave at 10:00 AM
Just like last year, NOS Energy Drink will be sponsoring the event by providing FREE energy drinks. ImportMeet.com will be providing FREE hot dogs to everyone in attendance.
There will be a raffle in the parking lot with giveaways from ImportMeet.com and V-LEDS with the grand prize being a $50 gift certificate to V-LEDS. Each person who attends will have a chance at winning and will receive 1 FREE raffle ticket before the drawing after lunch.

All makes and models of cars are welcome, but the primary focus will be on imports. You do not have to be a member of the site to be present.

What's the plan?
We will be meeting at the Sunset Square Cost Cutter parking lot in Bellingham at 9:00am (address is posted above). A driver's meeting is scheduled for 9:45 where we plan on going over our rules for the cruise up the mountain. This year, Poirier Arts will be taking photos of cars as they drive up the mountain at various points along the way. If you would like to purchase a high quality print of your car, visit Poirier-Arts.com after the Mt. Baker Import Run. ImportMeet.com will also have a dedicated photographer that will take pictures of individual cars as they leave the meet at the top. These will be posted in a special gallery after the event.

DUB DUB DUB DUB DUB!
1st time to show up. Not sure what to expect. How long is the drive one way? What should I bring?
Thanks
Each way is a little over an hour. Bring a jacket or sweatshirt as it can be somewhat cool at the top. Food and drinks will be provided so only bring food if you don’t like hot dogs/NOS.
I’ll be there reping my MR2 turbo. Just moved to the area not long ago so look forward to making some friends and seeing the scenery!
My first time coming to one of these events! Excited to bring out my FR-S!!
I look forward to meeting you and seeing the car. 🙂
Matt, make sure to bring some IM t’s in multiple sizes if you have the chance to get some made.
I will have white and black IM shirts in a few sizes. I also have some turbo ones leftover.
Are the roads gonna be icy?
Not at all. If the sun is out the roads will be dry all the way to the top. 🙂
anyone driving american cars? mustangs?
I’m sure there will be a few domestics (definitely some imports with domestic engines ;)). You’re welcome to join us and grab some food and NOS.
