State College to Beaver Springs Drag Strip to Centralia Cruise (5/4/13)

*UPDATE*
We have recently found out that the original date that was planned happens to fall on Blue & White weekend which would rule out any chance of meeting near Beaver Stadium. Beaver Springs is not holding Test & Tune day the following week so we are moving the date forward 2 weeks to 5/4.


*UPDATE*
We have recently found out that the original date that was planned happens to fall on Blue & White weekend which would rule out any chance of meeting near Beaver Stadium. Also, may people would rather attend the game and traffic in and out of town would be a nightmare. We are moving the date forward 1 week to 4/27.

Warm weather is almost here, finally. I just installed some flex fuel wires and spent my first born on new rims and tires. Still need to fit the intercooler, wheels, and cut a diode for isolated boost control firmware but she's getting close to being ready for the Spring.

We're planning a cruise to the old coal mining town of Centralia that's been on fire since 1963. It's my friends idea and it sounds like it's going to be a blast.

We are going to meet up near the Penn State football stadium for some pictures and BS then we're taking some winding back roads to Beaver Springs Drag Way for a test-and-tune session. It's $40 a car to run and I think it's free to spectate. We'll have to check to be sure.

Here's the meeting spot, marked in yellow, across from Beaver Stadium.

This shows 1 of 2 possible meeting spots in State College and then the ensuing route to Beaver Springs.

We'll probably spend a couple hours there then head out towards Centralia taking the quickest route based on Google Maps.

From there you're on your own. I'll be going back to either Dré's house or mine for drinks and rest. Make sure you can keep up. :)

Of course we'll be posting pics on the forums and Blogger afterwards. If anyone wants direct links to these routes let us know by commenting on this post.
