    My third try to attend my neighbor CorkSport on Mazda Showdown finally happened.
    From the start though it was almost a failure. Speed 6 has the most CS parts so thought to take it,
    so a helpful overnight charge since last drive was 10 days earlier. Saturday Morning was raining at my house, WASDOT road cams showed CS was fine so loaded up 6 with supplies and disconnected charger...Now in hindsight I should have looked at charger status...66 years old so even if I had, would I remember?
    Open door...very first thing I see is no door courtesy lights....check and battery is 1.9 vdc.
    Dang it the charger protection didn't charge....The Blu Tootle dongle was a current leach and killed voltage.
    So move supplies into trusty Speed 3 which has some parts from all our forums vendors.
    Was a great DAY! Was nice to see the unavailing of CorkSport newest project. See grey cover and car 20230805_130753_1.JPG 20230805_131005.JPG 20230805_131011.JPG 20230805_131111.JPG 20230805_131243.JPG 20230805_131250.JPG 20230805_132907.JPG 20230805_132912.JPG 20230805_132922.JPG 20230805_132935.JPG 20230805_132939.JPG 20230805_133023.JPG 20230805_133033.JPG 20230805_133545.JPG 20230805_133552.JPG picture. I was very impressed with the number of attendees and especially the newest platforms had a large presence. So just a selection of pictures, no real order. Except the photo with blue highlight pointer is my 3.
    Glad to see CorkSport is supporting the newest Mazda Performance Platforms.

    I’m bummed I didn’t go this year. I’ve gone every year since 2018 and it’s always been a great time. Looks like a good turn out this year!

    I wanted to go so bad. I have yet to go to any NW meets in the 7 years I've been in the area.

    Next year it's on the list of things to do for sure.

    Glad everyone had an awesome time.
