Event Announcements

Meet & Eat:  April 9th, 630PM - D'Lish Hamburger's on Division
We will all be gathering again at the D'Lish on Division to scarf down some delicious food and chat all things cars and racing.  I hate even having to say this but if you plan on attending our events, please respect the laws of the road.  Burnouts and driving like an idiot is just something we will not tolerate at our events.  That said, I hope to see everyone out!

ASNW Auto Cross Event 1 & 2:  April 10th/11th, 8AM Deer Park Airfield
This is the first official points event weekend of the season.  Please pre-register now!  nwBMWclub is expected to have a huge showing all year long so don't miss out on the fun.  For additional information including pricing, registration help and more CLICK HEREPre-Registration closes at 6PM on Friday the 9th.

Update:  nwBMwclub currently has over 15 registered racers for each day.  The classes are stacking nicely and the competition should be extremely high this year.  Even if you're not racing, come on out and take some rides with people and get familiar with what Auto Cross is all about.  I can guarantee you will have a blast.

5erWest:  June 5th, 10AM - Gladstone, Oregon
What are you doing on June 5th?  nwBMWclub is proud to announce our FIRST ANNUAL 5erWest event being held in Gladstone, Oregon.  5erWest is an event celebrating the early lineage of the BMW 5 Series (think E30 Picnic but for the 5 Series).  All BMW models are welcome and we encourage everyone who can attend to do so but the focus of the show will be on the early 5 Series:  e34, e28, e12, etc.  For full details and registration please head over to our newly created site:  www.5erwest.com

Update:  We're happy to announce that 60 cars have already registered!  We have also made a flyer for this event.  Please feel free to print it out and post it at relevant places.  We are currently working on adding a couple more sponsors.  If you or know of anyone who is interested in sponsoring, please contact the event coordinator at 5erwest@nwbmwclub.com.

Starting tomorrow (March 16th):To reserve your room, call the number above, and simply state that you are picking up one of the '5erWest BMW' rooms. Rooms must be reserved by May 5th. If you don't make the May 5th deadline, the rate will be the same, but you will be subject to availability.

There is a block of 16 rooms available. 12 double queen rooms for 2 adults...and 4 single queen rooms for 1 adult. The rooms are $85.99 per night PLUS lodging tax. Split between two, it ends up being pretty cheap for a very nice stay.

With the rooms, you get $4 towards breakfast in the attached restaurant. (Very good food by the way.  Good steak and AWESOME fish.) We are currently working on other discounts and help from food vendors in the area.

The hotel is about 1 mile from the event. There are auto parts shops nearby (hope no one needs them) as well as food and coffee. We are also currently looking for a place everyone can get to that can be used to clean up and detail the beauties. I will update when more info is found.

For anyone not wanting to spend that much, there is also an Econo-Lodge right up the street.  The nightly rate there is $55 or so. It's about 2 miles from the event.
