This is Arlington, Washington please don't confuse it with other towns in the USA.
At the link above, PLEASE PLEASE use the Sign Up page. This is so that the organizers can have a rough idea of how many people to plan for. There are MAPS, Video's, PICS and all sorts of cool stuff at the link.
On Saturday June 5th Jet City Fiero's is throwing a HUGE Fiero Party at the Arlington Ultra light air field. This is an open invitation to ALL FIERO OWNERS. There is ZERO cost to attend. This is not a show, you won't be judged, it doesn't matter if you have a , daily driver, a project car, or super show car that you want to show off. This is a BBQ lunch deal for ALL Fiero Nuts. It's an amazing blast. There are clubs from all over the Northwest USA and Canada that are going to be attending. It's a family friendly event. Please leave alcohol at home.
About the only rules are Please don't go drag racing on the paved runway regardless of how much fun it looks like it would be.
There will be a HUGE BBQ setup to cook food, however you are on your own to decide what beef stuff you want to bring. (Check with your local club as some clubs are providing free food for due paying members.)
I will be updating a thread on www.westcoastfieros.com/forum in a day or 2 with the detailed layout for people coming from Canada and the route we will be taking down I-5 through Washington as a group. We are expecting a group of 20 Fiero's just from our club to be taking over I-5 running 4 Fiero's wide and 5 deep at points.
You should also be able to check www.fiero.nl in a few days for a thread there as well.
If you have a local club or know of a place to announce this, please feel free to point them in this direction.
If you are coming please also post on here so we can keep a running tally.
Also if you have any favorite pics from the last few years, please post them up here. ------------------ 85GT Soon to be 87GT,93 Eldorado 4.9, 5spd Dual O2 Custom Chip, Custom Exhaust.

I plan on going to this event for the first time. Should be quite a few of us coming down from BC.
I look forward to meeting several of you that I've known here at PFF for years, but we're never going to know who's who with the names that some of you use here.
What we need to do is to use name tags with not only our real names on 'em, but with our PFF names as well. Or is that what's usually done at Fiero functions such as this?

Damn, I want have wanted to go to this a couple years in a row now. This year, it's on the weekend before Finals week, and there's no smart way I can justify that long of a drive on a weekend like that.

For all the people coming from British Columbia Canada or any place north of Seattle Washington here is our travel plans for our group. We should have about 20 Fiero's from BC coming down the highway together.
We will be doing a leap frog run. The people that wish to drive the speed limit +/-10mph will leave about 3-5mins before the people that wish to drive flat out. (10-20+mph over the limit) Once on the road, the faster people will overtake the slower people. This will allow us to spend the greatest amount of time together, instead of the faster guys simply shooting miles ahead and having 2 separate groups the entire run down.
The details are below.
6:15am-6:45am We will meet at the Tim Horton's just East of the Corner of HWY 10 and 152nd Street in Surrey at that time we will all check our FRS's Radio's and set all radios to channel 20. If you have spare radio's please bring them as it would be nice to see a radio in every car. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD BATTERIES. Most people grab coffee and a pop while we look over the cars. VOX IS NOT PERMITTED ON THE DRIVE. If your radio has VOX capability Please do not use it. VOX is the Voice Activated portion of some Radios. It might be great in the forest, but in a car on the highway with cabin noise, and wind and stereos they have a tendency to activate the radio and lock out anyone else from talking.
6:45 we will leave and head for the border Crossing at 176th street.. Make sure to have your Passport with your driver's license with you. After we all clear customs we will regroup just across the border at a gas station for those that wish to fill up with the cheaper American fuel. Then I-5 bound.
Aprx 8:30am We will make one stop at a rest area about 1/2 way down, sorry I don't remember the exact address. Just keep your eyes and ears open. After re-grouping at the rest area, next stop Arlington, Look out Jet City here we come.
Once we arrive in Arlington
9:30am Arrive at Arlington Take exit 206 and head east about 3-4 blocks to a Food Mart there will be a grocery store where we can buy picnic supplies. There will also be a car wash close at hand.- Plan is for those that want to give their car a quick scrub to do that first off. Then head for the grocery store and get whatever they plan to bring. Buy anything you want specialty grilled IE steaks and sauces. We will then caravan to the ultra light air field for the actual picnic The picnic starts at 10am We will depart Arlington at 5pm, with cleanup starting at 4pm.
Quick info GMRS Channel 20 Meeting at Tim Horton's HWY 10 and 152nd Street in Surrey. 6:30am Cross Boarder at 7am need passport .

Sorry....this question is not related to the show at all:
There is a silver fastback in one of the pics above that is really low! That car has to have at least a 2 inch drop!.... I'm curious if he has coilovers on it? Or did he modify the bumpstops? If my car was that low I'd be hitting stuff!

I think you are looking at Austins Silver fastback with after market wheels. That is his Track / Street car, uses it for Road Racing + Auto cross Racing, plus summer street use. He has coil overs on the rear, with I believe shortened lowering coils on the front. When he needs to raise it up for street use, he has spring spacers for the front and dials the coil overs up in the rear. FYI the motor is a 3.4 V6 with DIS and custom computer stuff. Before anyone questions the engine, it is a 3.4 from a Camaro, however he chose to keep the DIS rather than convert it to all the Fiero ignition and distributor stuff.

Just 5hrs until I am on the road there. Hopefully US immigration will be nice and see that we are a Car club and let us go quickly. I don't want another 2hr fiasco.
We are going to be at Immigration at 7am that should put us in Washington State for 8am

LOL, Sorry I think I was too sunburnt yesterday, why did I think Dave had a Blue Fiero? I couldn't believe how thick traffic was going home last night. However the good news was everyone made it home, accident and ticket free. Thanks again for the wonderfull time, everyone in our club loved it and there are tons of people saying they can't wait for next year.
Here is the rough edit of the video I took.
The slightly longer video, please note that most of the footage was done one handed while trying to drive / shift / watch traffic and still get the camera angle 1/2 way the direction I was trying to shoot.
Its 30mb and 9.5mins long video is 320x240 res. If there is a desire I can put up a larger higher res version that is about 80mb at double the resolution.
I have not done any fancy transitions or music, just raw video.
This year I am telling him to go get bent! (I am my own boss.
