Western Washington is a pretty good place. Decent weather, lots of different racing venues. Good welders and techs seem to always be employed.

Calgary Alberta area.
Lots of events, allot of teams.
We have some shops around here with good reputations so you would have your work cut out for you.

Only if you like boats. smiling smiley

There's a lotta rain. Makes for good rally roads though.

CA has better weather, but more loonies.

Boise has great weather, and something like 8 different rally cars that are getting or got constructed this year. 4 hillclimbs within 2.5 hours (2 within 30 min) Rally idaho, dedicated Rallyx course that doesn't use cones. Time attack/Track day every other month (more seat time than you can afford in tires for 50 bux)

It gets just under half the rainfall in San Jose CA as in Seattle.
So it's parched and dessicated, and a fire hazard most of the time. Brown, looking lifeless, presuming one can even see the hills for all the smog.

Seattle is under 40" a year, average for the whole country is 37.6"

That's 10" less than Knoxville.

It's certainly not the actual amount of rain that is the 'problem' here, it's the amount of days that it drizzles. And that can continue right through Juneuary. I love it out here though, and am already looking forward to getting back here after three years in Hawaii!

Bellingham, Seattle, Portland. That's a pretty good line of places to live. Rallies in Canada, several here. I like Edmonton also... but dude... I was through there once and it was 40 below with a wind chill of 60 below. And I like the cold!

Maybe they're just not cool enough for down there.

Yo Gage, we've talked on the phone but I can't see you, ya know?
Are you like a cool hipster? You wear skinny jeans? Do you ride a fixie bike?
You have that carefully managed 1 1/2 day of stubble to go with your uber-cool soul patch?
Do you secretly lust for a lowered Volvo 740 wagon with 18s?
do you drink Pabst Blue ribbon ostentatiously and always call it "PBR"?

We gotta figure out where you'll be happiest....

Do you listen to Rush/Hennity/Carlson/Beck 24/7 on all media and pray to your own personal Gawd to smite the devil muslim PONTUS (just using that acronym is points) who is a dictator who is using an army of illegals to build death camps to force all patriots into? (You think like this and there's a place for you here, too)

How do you feel about crack? How about meth?

Do you think Obama is the best "Republican" pres since Bubba from Arkansas?

Answer all these, so we can help you find happiness.
That's what we're here for.
