>For those of you who like cars, this coming weekend holds quite a treat.
>The SCCA Autocross National Tour is coming to Boeing Space Center in Kent
>on the 18th and 19th.  Competitors are coming from all over the country,
>and even international folks (ok ok, Vancouver BC is all, but still!).
>
>You'll see a wide range of cars, from Vipers and Ferrarris to Midgets and
>Minis ... Spitfires, Austin Healeys, Morgans, Formula Atlantics, Formula
>125, mod cars, ancient Fiats, spiffy BMW M3s, Audi Quatros, Integras,
>Porsches, Camaros, Corvettes, and Miatas (to name just a few).
>
>Autocross is car racing at its most accessible - we run cars through a
>course designated by traffic cones, on a big flat surface.  Boeing
>graciously lets us use their parking lots for this.  Speeds rarely exceed
>60mph, but there is plenty of excitement.
>
>If you stop by, look for the blue Miata with white skunk stripes, or the
>red Miata with white skunk stripes, and say howdy to me.  We will also
>have a red awning with a gingerbread man flag (long story).  My race heat
>is the first one after the lunch break.
>
>For an added attraction, on Saturday just after lunch, police cars from
>all around the state will be racing (usually with lights-a-flashin' and
>sirens wailing!), with proceeds to benefit the Teddy Bear Patrol.
