Add me to the list of WA residents. I'm on the east side. Where're all the tracks and reputable shops in this state? I just moved here.

Brad's Custom Auto is the only place I would trust with the stang around here. That is assuming I could afford shop labor and trusted anyone with the car.
There used to be a Mike's Mustangs in Marysville, but last I heard they shut down. I got a funny vibe from those guys though.
I have also heard that the Mustang Ranch in Monroe stopped stocking wrecked fox bodies and sn95's; classic only.
That made me want to cry.
Can anyone confirm any of these rumors?
I am sure there are good shops on the other side of the hills, but I don't know of any.

Doubt it was me, I just moved to Tacoma about 2 months ago. Haven't been any farther north than the union exit off HWY 16. My car only comes out of the garage every 2 - 3 weeks to drive to seattle and back with an occasional trip up to Marysville.

RE: 5.0's in WA State
I'm an Everett guy. I race at SIR (Pacific) occasionaly, but most of the time I race at Evergreen in Monroe for eighth miles. I know the eighth mile track there is unrealistic, but its still good fun just racing anywhere. Plus its pretty easy to get a trophy in my class 
.
I had not heard that Mike's Mustang in Marysville had been shut down. Thats too bad because I was looking to go there for some future action on the stang.
Also, there used to be a sweet mustang ranch in Clearview (south of snohomish), but that was shut down. We need a good place to 5.0 parts. Anyone know a good location, that is not down as far as Tacoma (which smells like **** by the way)?
Plus I'm looking to get my T-5 rebuilt. Got anyone near Everett that I can trust?
I will post a pic of my stang when I get home.
Good to see people from the Puget Sound talking!
Later!

Pacific is near Auburn. Google map it.
You should come out to Evergreen on Monday. Its in Monroe, and easy to get to. They are doing open 1/8th miles. It would be great to talk with someone on this site.
I think it costs $20-$30 but you are able to get a lot of runs in, and they give out trophies for the top three in each bracket.
