2009 Tacoma National Photos

Crusher · 07-23-2009

My son had his car at the Tacoma Nationals this year...Everyone had a great time and the weather didn't let us down. The Opel cruise up to Mnt. Rainier was scenic and HOT !!!.....And NO break downs.. LOL !!.

I was one of many taking photos... I just finished posting them on my website.

Click on the link below and enjoy .... I'm sure you'll see some familiar faces.

Thanks for posting. Looks like a great event!
Only a handful of the west coast folks look familiar, but only Gil, Dennis and WestCoastGT all whom I've met before. And I don't see Sir Charles in any of the pics.
Any chance of someone putting some names to the faces. And who is that with the dog face?

Thanks.

I'll work on getting a copy of the registration sheets. The file name if the cars is the same as the car registration number so I could match them up easier...So...hopefully in a few days I'll be able to get that all put together.

Nice pics Crusher! Thanks for the one of my wife's Ascona and of my bro-in-law's dog (the Shiba Inu). Any possibility I could get a digital copy of those from you? If not I understand.

Which dog?.... the Rot?,, or the Huskie looking one?.

Steve, thanks for posting the pictures.
It was a nice show, although I missed the drive to Mt. Rainier on Friday. Just driving 1,500 miles through the mountains in northern CA, Oregon and Washington was worth it, though.

The Cruise was a blast.. HOT.. but all had a great time thanks to Mary (Ma&Pa Opel), John, and everyone who organized the event.

Crusher,

I will send you an e-mail now with my request. It is a hotmail address.

The dog is the small Husky looking dog. It is a Japanese breed. You got a good close-up of its face.

Thanks again for posting up your pictures. I think it really helps both people who made the show and those who just want to see how it was! Helps people put cars and screen names together, etc.

I will post this site once again, so that all of you can enjoy the pics. We also have some pics I will post after the weekend of several cars that showed up to join the group at the Museum of Flight.
Have a great weekend all.
