RECENT POSTS & EVENT COVERAGE
It’s been awhile since the last update on the RX-7. Unfortunately, the cold and wet Pacific Northwest weather hasn’t allowed for much progress lately. Since the day the shell was purchased back in October, I’ve been searching for a shop that would allow me to install an engine and work…
Here is an awesome drift video that was shared by Sloppy Hachi on the forum today. It features a car club from New Jersey that goes by the name BloodMasters drifting around Raceway Park. Check out BloodMaster's Facebook page.
Many enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the release of the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ in the United States. Scion has an interesting contest to make sure that the most devoted fans have the first chance of buying an FR-S prior to the official launch day. On January 12th from 12:00pm…
Import Meet launched in 2011 and it was our first year covering and hosting import car events. We thought we would take some time to look back at some of our favorite events of the year. Golden Gardens – March 27, 2011 – Seattle, WA As in previous years, Northwest…

Big thank you to everyone who supported our new event, @supersummermeet on Saturday. This was an experiment with how we could throw an evening event and the unpredictable weather made it super difficult to organize and more importantly promote. We appreciate those who still came out and participated despite wet conditions all over the NW.
We’ve already started thinking of how to improve things and know that with a better weather forecast the turnout would have been higher. We also need to seriously consider whether renting such a big facility with so many competing events in the early summer is feasible. The number of smaller meets, shows, and other events in general has quadrupled in the last couple of years.
Thank you to the @theplacetorace staff, @proformanceracingschool staff, and our volunteers for helping run such a challenging day with random weather. Special thank you to our sponsors and vendors for helping make the event possible.

We are so excited to announce that @sportdrivingmotors will be providing ride-alongs starting at 4pm and running until we shut down the track around 10pm at @theplacetorace.

This includes the payment to @proformanceracingschool for the Lead/Follow laps on track and the time for the driver. We want to continue to develop this part of the event in future years so we can`t wait to see how it goes.

@supersummermeet is this Saturday! Since everyone seems concerned about the weather let us remind you that it SNOWED in the days leading up to SpringFest this year. 😀
Our event with StanceWars at @theplacetorace will be held from 4-10pm which we hope is late enough in the day that whatever the weather is going to do is done by then. This is a brand new event and an experiment for what we can do in the evening format. Lead / Follow will still be happening on track all evening. Get your tickets and support what we are doing: thefoat.com/46526
