We counted 242 cars roll in to Pacific Raceways for the 2014 Port Townsend Cruise, a noticeable decline in attendance from years past. The weather certainly could have played a big part with extended forecasts predicting about a 90% chance of rain that day but even the “usual suspects”, for the most part, were nowhere to be seen. A few familiar faces rolled through and as always it was a pleasure to see our fellow Euro enthusiast friends. And despite the lower than usual attendance numbers Achtuning was still able to bring in just under $4900 from the sale of raffle tickets to benefit Seattle Cancer Care Alliance!
Shortly after the driver’s meeting we snuck out to get ahead of the pack, a part of our annual routine to ensure reserved parking in Port Townsend is set-up before the masses arrive. On the way there we managed to get some video using our iPhones and put together a short “clip” with the help of an app featuring our little cruise around the Puget Sound…

Upon our arrival in Port Townsend and after confirming reserved parking was set-up by the City we posted up street side and started snapping away as cars began rolling into town…
When we felt we had enough pictures we quickly packed up and rushed out of town to satisfy a craving we’ve had since last November… we were en route to J’aime les Crepes Creperie in Kingston. It has become an annual mission to chow down on some amazing crepes before hopping on the ferry we take to get home – Mission complete!
As always we thank the Achtuning family for all of their support and help putting on this event and the City of Port Townsend for hosting us! Until next year…
