These details are provided by Dennis Saxon for those going on the LeMay Tour starting Aug.28.

For information about driving up to Tacoma on Friday see this post.

Saturday August 29th, 2009

We will meet at 7am Saturday morning at Starbucks Coffee, located at S. Tacoma Way at the end of SR 512. Take exit #127 from I-5 and go west, (1 block) to S. Tacoma Way. Turn left at the light and go ½ block to Starbucks. Starbucks is located on the right side directly across from MacDonald’s and south of the 76 gas station. MacDonald’s and 76 both have huge signs so it will be hard to miss.

We will leave promptly at 7:30 am and proceed to the LeMay Museum where we will line up as a car club to gain entry to the car show.

When we leave MacDonald’s, we will get on SR 512 and head east to the second exit, which is SR 7/ Pacific Ave. (Parkland/Spanaway). We will exit at SR 7/Pacific Avenue and turn right (south). The first cross street is 112th. We will continue 2 miles to 152nd/Military Road. Turn left at 152nd (north) and go about ¼ of a mile. We will turn left at the LeMay museum sign. We might be lining up on 152nd since a lot of cars will be entering at this time. Be prepared to stop and form a line.

Entry fee is $10.00 per person. We have been asked to have exact change if possible. This will facilitate our cars getting in quicker as a group.

Hopefully we will have car passes by then to park in the Collector Car Corral. I’ve asked for 25 passes. Museum members get priority parking and have until the end of the first week in August to exercise their parking privilege. If there is room, we will be able to park in the Car Club Corral. Only collector cars (cars 25 years and older) will be allowed to park at the Marymount Academy site. This is where we are parking. If you have your BJ9 you will have to park at one of the six off site parking areas. Busses are provided to take you to the Marymount site or the private LeMay home grounds. The LeMay home museum is only opened up once a year to the public. This makes this day very special to car lovers.

I will have maps for those that show up at MacDonald’s. For more information about the LeMay Museum, visit their website at www.lemaymuseum.org. You can also call Dennis Saxon at 253-335-2327.

Join us Friday night (August 28th) at Famous Dave’s BBQ for a get together with the Oregon Austin Healey Club. We will meet at 5pm. Famous Dave’s is located at 1901 S. 72nd. St. Tacoma, just off I-5. Take I-5 to exit #129 and go east to the first intersection (Hosemer St.). If you’re coming from the north, you have to go under the overpass and come back over the highway to go east. There is a Chevron station on the right. Turn left into the shopping center. Dave’s is on the corner next to the Sports Authority. See you there!!
