I thought I would be able to attend and had registered, but unfortunately I'm going to have to cancel. A schedule conflict has come up.

Questions about the show? Ask here. This will be a blast and there will be lots of MTTS stories. We will have a great day at Griot's. Don't miss it!

Coming from out of town for the show? Coming from sort of far but want that extra hour or two put the final touches on your Mini/MINI before the show? You're in luck, as we've partnered with the Red Lion in Tacoma to offer a special PSMINI room rate. King or Queen rooms will be available for $89 p/night plus tax. The rate also includes free continental breakfast, WIFI, and parking at the hotel. Call the hotel at 253-548-1212 or 800-733-5466, and tell them your part of the PSMINI Car Show group to make your reservations and take advantage of this great deal.

Hey Leo, what's the deal with registration. The top page says early registration through 8/15, but when I go to the registration page, it says it is closed.

My fault on the registration folks! I pulled it a wee bit too early. You can still register and I've got some amazing news straight from MTTS which gives you one more reason to register ASAP.

!!BREAKING NEWS!!
I'm bringing back a "game" from MTTS and those registered in the car show will be the very first from our region to "play". That's all I can say right now but don't miss this unique opportunity for you and your MINI to "play" in this national "game".

See you Sunday!

Sorry, we don't have anything like a bouncy house planned for this year. But we'll log that suggestion for next years show!

No formal gatherings are planned but we welcome any of the "Southies" to propose & coordinate a dinner or get together for the night prior.

Also something we'll keep in mind for next year.

Saturday night (August 16th) is a major milestone for the Nalley Valley Viaduct (SR 16 from I-5 out towards the Tacoma Narrows Bridge).  The entire eastbound Highway 16 will close at Union Street at 10:30 PM on Saturday as will the southbound I-5 exit to 38th Street (which is what most of you will use to get to Griot's).  This closure is for the final steps of the Sprague Avenue onramps construction.

The ramps are scheduled to reopen at 8 AM.

If the I-5 ramp is not open when you arrive, continue south on I-5 to the 56th Street Exit (this will be the marked detour route exit).  But take the first exit to the right (do not follow the detour signs which will loop you back onto I-5 north to 38th.)  At the light, turn right onto Tacoma Mall Blvd and at the next light take a left on S. 48th Street.  Continue past the Tacoma Mall and turn right at the light on S. Pine Street.   Continue on Pine Street and turn left at the second light onto S. 38th St.

Griot's will be on the right just after the second light.  You can turn right at the second light (S. Lawrence St) and enter the parking area behind the store.

If you are coming over the Tacoma Narrows Bridges you will be forced off the freeway at Union. Turn right on Union and follow it to 38th,  turn left on 38th and then left on Lawrence and enter from the back of the store.

I'll post the same information on the Facebook page.

Here is the WSDOT email text:

Additional closures for final work on I-5/SR 16 Eastbound Nalley Valley project

Changes to previously announced construction closure hours highlighted in red.

 

TACOMA – Construction crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will close several ramps and roadways overnight on State Route 16 and Interstate 5 to finish work on the I-5/SR 16 Eastbound Nalley Valley project.

WSDOT is asking the public to alter their travel plans to help reduce congestion in the area while construction crews prepare to open two new ramps from South Sprague Avenue to northbound and southbound I-5.

The schedule of closures is listed below. This work is weather-dependent and will be postponed in the event of rain.

  • Saturday, Aug. 16
    • 12:01 a.m.
      • Close eastbound SR 16 at South Union Avenue and South Union Avenue on-ramp to eastbound SR 16. Detour via South Union Avenue.
      • Close southbound I-5 exit to South 38th Street (#132).
      • Close South Sprague Avenue from South 35th to South Tacoma Way. Drivers to use alternate routes.
    • 5:30 a.m.
      • Reopen eastbound SR 16 lanes and South Union on-ramp to eastbound SR 16, southbound I-5 exit (#132) to South 38th Street, and South Sprague Avenue.
    • 9 p.m.
      • Close right lane on eastbound SR 16.
    • 10:30 p.m.
      • Close eastbound SR 16 at South Union Avenue and South Union Avenue on-ramp to eastbound SR 16. Detour via South Union Avenue.
      • Close southbound I-5 exit to South 38th Street (#132).

 

  • Sunday, Aug. 17
    • 8 a.m.
      • Open all facilities, including the two new ramps from South Sprague Avenue to northbound and southbound I-5.

On Saturday and Sunday, the closure hours will extend beyond the typical closure hours, and WSDOT advises motorists to expect congestion. The new South Sprague Avenue ramps will open concurrently with eastbound SR 16 on Sunday morning, Aug. 17.

Thanks Sixate for the helpful tips.

One additional note, if you're arriving early to show/register, the front gate (on 38th) to enter the Griot's lot will likely be closed until approx 9am when their store opens up.

We will have the rear gates (on Lawrence) opened at 730am.

Really sad that I missed it,but Pippa wasn't in show worthy condition in my opinion. Plus, I'm STILL waiting for a part from Madness. Really enjoying all of the pictures from the day.

I did not put SMOG 1 or 2 into the show but we were there looking at some pretty nice cars and friendly people.

Griot's was also having a Triumph show as well.  Very nice day indeed.
I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.
