OK boys and girls. This is the official, "I want to go to the Red Rocks Classic and see the pretty rocks and 914's thread"

Here is the DEAL!!!!

The event is being held September 10-12th in Moab, UT.
Yes, UT. So there is the chance that you may come with one wife but leave with 3.

The registration charge is $67. Well what do I get you ask?

BBQ meet and greet on Friday evening
Catered lunch on Saturday
Dinner on the river Saturday night
Maybe an award (if you're car is nice enough) (or ugly enough, depending on the award)
And the perennial favorite: Goody Bag
And Door Prizes!!!!

Not to mention, Friendship, Comradery, Memories, and Scenery you will see no where else on Earth.

Take a train, take a bus, take a plane, or drive a car, but just make sure you bring a camera, a sense of humor, and your liver.......

This is a time you will remember for the rest of your life.
The indigenous people are still singing folk songs in the hills about our first Red Rocks Classic.

Here is the official Hotel:

http://www.red-rocklodge.com/rooms.html


At last count there were 11 rooms available.
If you call and the hotel is full, please send me a PM.
We have a back up hotel down the street that we are planning on using if necessary. But in the meantime, we are going to overtake the current hotel as we have the entire motel reserved.





We could fill this entire thread with and photos, but you really need to experience this event for yourself. Come one, Come All, you don't want to miss this.......

This event is 100% not for profit.
In the past, if we had any left over funds, they were donated to a local Moab charity.

If you would like to pay at the event, the registration fee is $77
We do not accept Nigerian certified funds, or Monopoly money. Sorry.

Please mail checks to:
Brant McClung
9106 fleetwood avenue
longmont, colorado 80503

PM Brant, or myself if you have further questions regarding the event, or registration process.

We hope to see you in Moab

Posted by: SLITS May 10 2010, 11:15 AM

I will go if you guarantee that the rocks will be red and AT NIGHT TOO!

Otherwise, it's a no-go and you can find me at Bryce.

Posted by: AZ914 May 10 2010, 11:24 AM

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 10 2010, 03:05 PM

Brant,

When you open PayPal to send money, there are two tabs ... one is marked Personal. If you click on that tab and then on "Gift", money can be sent without PayPal charges.

Just thought I would let you know.

Posted by: brant May 17 2010, 11:14 AM

Thanks Ron... I actually didn't know that
so if anyone wants to register through paypal as "gift"
they can skip the 3%

We won't close registration until about a week prior
and we will have full refunds until that same point
(paying the food vendors right before the event)

Posted by: Socalandy May 17 2010, 11:29 AM

Man I cant wait!! Room booked

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 18 2010, 10:35 AM

How to pay for the event





Please let me know if you have problems booking a room.
I suspect the hotel may run out of rooms for us and I will need to book some rooms at our overflow location.

I was looking for a excuse to buy a 914

Posted by: SLITS May 18 2010, 03:49 PM

No need ... we can park together with our Miatas.

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 18 2010, 04:12 PM

What you guys do with your Miatas on your own time is your own business. This isn't that kind of event......

Posted by: OneOfThemNARPGuys May 18 2010, 08:30 PM

I Beg To Differ!

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 18 2010, 08:52 PM

That's why the YMCA guys had to stay at a different hotel the next year

Posted by: rick 918-S May 18 2010, 09:07 PM

I've had my room booked for at least a month. I don't write checks and Sandy won't let me use pay pal. She runs that account. I will have her send the funds as a gift.

I'm kind of the girl of the relationship. I like shopping and spending money. She keeps me in check.

BTW: If you send the funds as a gift be sure to send a happy birthday note.

Do not write something like " Event Fee" or something like that. We were shut down during the Buttercup deal with the transaxle raffle.


Oh, BTW: That's $ 67.00 per person just to clarify= $ 134.00 for two

brant914@hotmail.com right?

Is there a shirt order thread?

Just booked a room. Now I have to see if I can find any other PNW troops to invade Utah.

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 19 2010, 12:36 PM

Sweet. I think Last year's "That Guy" is planning on attending again (sixnotfour)

Isn't he from up there somewhere......

Posted by: KELTY360 May 19 2010, 12:40 PM

Yep, he's from up here, but we try to keep that kind of quiet.

Posted by: SLITS May 19 2010, 01:45 PM

Talk to Bill and see if he will sponsor us! If you don't. the "Asshole" will come to breakfast again!!!!

Brnat,

Check is in the mail.. this whole GIFT thing confused me.. I'm doing it old-skool!

Posted by: SLITS May 19 2010, 04:17 PM

Brnat is not here man!!!!

Posted by: 76-914 May 19 2010, 04:45 PM

I'm really tempted. Are there any SoCal caravans planned. I think I'd go if so. There is safety in numbers. Like the vast herds of the wildebeast. No, not the lemurs going over the cliff.

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 19 2010, 05:58 PM

So Cal is always well represented. There is usually a Thursday night layover in Mesquite with their $25 room specials.

Posted by: AZ914 May 19 2010, 05:59 PM

There should be a handful from SOCAL! Slits, Andy T, Toast maybe? Elliot hopefully, etc!

Posted by: OneOfThemNARPGuys May 19 2010, 06:17 PM

The Brnat abides!

Posted by: shelby/914 May 19 2010, 08:28 PM

Just called the hotel and there are no rooms left, completely booked. How close is hotel #2 to the main location?

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 19 2010, 08:44 PM

I told you it was going to book up..........

I'll set up the second hotel tomorrow morning. It's a block or two away.

Posted by: SLITS May 19 2010, 08:50 PM

Is that the one that closes at 5 PM and has the hot tub full of red rocks?

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 19 2010, 09:02 PM

Working on second location.............

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&q=hotel&fb=1&gl=us&ei=5KX0S85zkdi2A4q60YgF&ved=0CDIQtgMwAA&sll=38.575506,-109.551748&sspn=0.00463,0.011362&split=1&rq=1&ev=zo&radius=0.37&hq=hotel&hnear=&ll=38.575506,-109.551748&spn=0.00463,0.011362&t=h&z=17
Location F is the host hotel.

Posted by: OneOfThemNARPGuys May 19 2010, 10:58 PM

This would be better than a hot tub and pool full of concrete chunks my friend.

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 20 2010, 09:33 AM

IF YOU BOOKED A ROOM AT THE HOST HOTEL, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU BOOKED IT IN YOUR NAME.

I just called and they still have 5 rooms left under my name, which were part of the original group reservation. If you did not transfer the reservation into your name, then those rooms are still showing as available in their computer and are available to whoever calls in for them.

So if you have not booked a room yet, there are technically still 5 ROOMS LEFT.




P.S. I am still working on a second hotel. It is 2 blocks away and I am trying to negotiate a lower rate for the overflow.
Every other nearby hotel seems to be booked for that weekend.

If you have questions about registration, please contact Brnat.

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 20 2010, 09:58 AM

3 rooms left now and I am working on a second hotel.

Posted by: RJMII May 20 2010, 10:21 AM

I just reserved one for my wife and I. We got two queens, but are hoping to find a sitter for the boys for the weekend.

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 20 2010, 11:57 AM

Well those five rooms didn't last long..........

The next closest hotel that has available rooms at a reasonable price is The Bowen Hotel. It is letter "C" http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&q=hotel&fb=1&gl=us&ei=5KX0S85zkdi2A4q60YgF&ved=0CDIQtgMwAA&sll=38.575506,-109.551748&sspn=0.00463,0.011362&split=1&rq=1&ev=zo&radius=0.37&hq=hotel&hnear=&ll=38.575506,-109.551748&spn=0.00463,0.011362&t=h&z=17 (host hotel is "F"). If you still need a room, I would give them a call.


The manager has not called me back yet, but they do have 15 rooms available.
They supposedly don't give group discounts, so feel free to book a room on your own.

http://www.bowenmotel.com/

Rooms are $90ish a night.



FYI: The Ramada was $199 a night and the Best Western was $185 a night.
River Canyon Lodge was full.

Posted by: 76-914 May 20 2010, 01:35 PM

OK, I just sent my 77 to someone I don't know, I booked a room in a motel that I've never seen (the Bowen), I haven't even asked my wife if she wants to go yet and I'm driving a 35 yr old cantankerous car into the desert. Shit, I think I'm gonna have a great time. PS We could hire an auto carrier to take 12 of our cars then unload us 2 blocks from the hotel. Would it be wise to bring my atty?

Posted by: OneOfThemNARPGuys May 20 2010, 01:40 PM

You will have a great time! Everyone has a great time at Red Rocks!

Posted by: SLITS May 20 2010, 01:48 PM

You could be like Silva, LVSteveH and other wussys and trailer your car to the event.

You're only in the desert till St George. You then pass into the hallowed grasslands of Utah, complete with the smell of fresh cow dung. A must see and stop is the town of Beaver ... I'll leave it to your imagination.

Once past Cedar City, you make a right turn and head out over the mountains into the vast wasteland of Utah .. 125 miles or so of nothing but dirt ... then about Green River, you make a right turn and head toward the Red Rocks (Moab).

13 hours in the seat (764 miles as I remember) ... stops only for gas, grass, food and personal relief (unless you are outfitted with a Pilot Tube).

My favorite is to leave Riverslime on Thur aftnoon ... stop in Mesquite, NV overnight and then make the journey to Moab arriving in time for Tequilageddon on Friday Nite. Avoid a guy wearing kilts and carrying bottles of Scottish Firewater.

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 20 2010, 03:45 PM

FYI: The host hotel has started a "waiting list"
They will call you if someone cancels their reservation.

In the meantime, please book rooms at the other hotel I listed.

See you guys in Moab

-------------------------------------------
And it's not 13 hours. 10 maybe.
Don't listen to the grumpy guy. His idea of 13 hours in the seat is just a flashback of his prison fantasies........

Posted by: SLITS May 20 2010, 04:19 PM

This from a guy who flies in a borrows Dad's car .....

Posted by: TROJANMAN May 20 2010, 04:30 PM

At least I showed up.

Just wish I could've seen you

Posted by: KELTY360 May 20 2010, 04:58 PM

Be careful what you wish for, it might come true.

Posted by: Gint May 20 2010, 05:44 PM

Slight correction...

You could be like Silva, LVSteveH and other Wills and trailer your car to the event.

But at least they show up... SLITS! Maybe it's time you bought a trailer.

Posted by: SLITS May 20 2010, 05:47 PM

I'm like the Russians ... they were only there once.

But I DID go to Torrey ..........

Posted by: 76-914 May 20 2010, 07:14 PM

Hey Ron, The early Thrs. departure sounds good. Do I need to make reservations or does this place rent by the hour. I'll talk to you before then but I'm up for that trip. I still owe you 10 bucks, too. And listen guys. If you see any man in Kilts drop something; do us all a favor and pick it up for him. Before he bends over.
And Trojenman, I called and asked them them if they would take my info in case of a cancellation (around noon) and she told me that they would be happy to stick my name/number next to the screen but that I should probably call every few weeks because they had no automated system to track such things and they might lose my stickie next to the screen.
It appears things have changed. Hopefully I'm at the top of that list. I can always cancel the udder one should a cancellation occur.

Posted by: OneOfThemNARPGuys May 21 2010, 12:36 PM

You may get to see a half naked man dry hump a Carrera GT....just maybe.

Is anyone coming to this thing?

Posted by: rick 918-S May 21 2010, 08:19 PM

Sandy is traveling this week 7 cities in 5 days. She just emailed me and told me she may end up in India for a couple months and one of them is Sept. She emailed the new company to confirm the dates before she sends money.

Posted by: MoveQik May 22 2010, 09:50 AM

I still remember that trip like it was yesterday.....the AC was blowing cold across the AZ desert. The seats were soft and comfy. I didn't smell like exhaust. I wasn't sunburnt. Hmmmm.....

FOR SALE - 1975 Porsche 914.

WTB - Miata. MUST HAVE HARD TOP AND COLD AC!!

Isn't a frozen ice drink an oxymoron in the middle of the dirty rotten stinkin' desert?

Posted by: shelby/914 May 25 2010, 05:39 PM

If we can pay with funny money I'm going to start cleaning out drawers and old boxes in the basement. I know I've got some riyals, dinars, and other crap laying around that I hopefully will never use again. But since I managed to get a room reservation guess I'll be sending Brant some $$ soon.

Why does it be "Not A Real Event"?

Posted by: SLITS May 27 2010, 01:51 PM

Standing around in a parking lot and drinking is not considered an organized event.

Posted by: OneOfThemNARPGuys May 27 2010, 02:32 PM

Says who?

Posted by: RJMII May 27 2010, 03:05 PM

It is if you stand in alphabetical order, or from tallest to not as tallest.

That isn't too fair...SLITS would always be on the end.....

Posted by: SLITS May 27 2010, 09:06 PM

Nope, Clay Perrine would have that honor. He's much shorter.

Sandy heard back from the new company in India. Sounds like she will be in the states for the event but she has to be available 24-7 incase things go south. I'll bug her again about sending the event fee.

I keep sending her the pay pal info. She extremely busy right now but she'll get to it. She is averaging about 400 emails a day with back to back daily meetings and two online masters classes... I personally volunteer to push Trevors car all day long. Or send him a starter if he needs one...

Hey stragglers... (Wills!)
were going to order shirts with registration
this means that you need to register a bit earlier since the shirts take almost 3 weeks to get in.

late registrations won't get a shirt if the order has gone out unfortunately.

Please let me know your shirt size with registration and if you've already registered and paid, please let me know also!

Just a reminder about hotels.

The host hotel is booked.


The next closest hotel that has available rooms at a reasonable price is The Bowen Hotel. It is letter "C" http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&q=hotel&fb=1&gl=us&ei=5KX0S85zkdi2A4q60YgF&ved=0CDIQtgMwAA&sll=38.575506,-109.551748&sspn=0.00463,0.011362&split=1&rq=1&ev=zo&radius=0.37&hq=hotel&hnear=&ll=38.575506,-109.551748&spn=0.00463,0.011362&t=h&z=17 (host hotel is "F"). If you still need a room, I would give them a call.




http://www.bowenmotel.com/

Rooms are $90ish a night.



FYI: The Ramada was $199 a night and the Best Western was $185 a night.

I haven't checked availability in a while...........

Posted by: Ferg Aug 2 2010, 03:37 PM

Posted by: ConeDodger Aug 2 2010, 03:53 PM

I am already registered but as it turns out my wife and child would like to go (not really). My wife is the great-great-great grandchild of a Philippine princess and as such is extremely wealthy (not really). This event affords an opportunity for the organizers of RRC to help out this descendant of Philippine royalty. She has been trying to figure out a way to convert her wealth which is in Philippine pesos to American dollars without drawing the attention of the American IRS.

So here is her proposition. She would like to register and not go. She will send you a check for 12 million pesos for which she expects registration for herself and our son and a return USPS money order for $3,000,000,000 (not really). The organizers can keep the excess funds to run their event What a deal! How can you pass up this opportunity?

This has been a twist on the Nigerian scam and as such is completely bogus. But the RRC crew got a free bump out of it...

I have attended the last three RRCs, but this year I can't make it due to a 206 mile bicycle ride.

The first two years I didn't bring a 914 and last year I barely brought one and it didn't run most of the time. This year it's running great and I can't make it.

Maybe next year I guess...

Hey I am going to be in Pheonix for work on the 12th. I could fly in early. Anyone from Pheonix want a passenger? I could drive a rental but that flippin sucks. So just throwing it out there to see if anyone is lonewolfing it. Be happy to split everything. Or anyone not going that wants to rent their 914 for the weekend . Seriously though it would be sweet to come. It being late notice I don't know what the hotel situation is like. Ideally be great to spilt a room with someone. Well let me know if anyone has some room. I'll be booking my flight for work wednesday. So I need to decide quick

Hey Jamie, I was hoping to go to Red Rocks this year but now I'm not going to be able to make it. I have a reservation at the Red Rock Lodge with two double beds. You could take over that reservation if you want.

Posted by: JRust Aug 11 2010, 12:34 PM

How about I just order a shirt for whatever the cost. If I register it can come off that. If I don't I get the shirt still which is fine by me. Still not sure if I can swing it or not. Trying but would like a shirt either way. I take an XL on the shirt. Just pm me with a total & where to pay. Thanks -Jamie

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 11 2010, 12:39 PM

Well, we hope you can still make it.

There was a Tshirt order thread around here somewhere, but I have no idea where it went. Here is a link to the NARP thread: http://z8.invisionfree.com/ClubNARP/index.php?showtopic=5988

Okay I am taking the plunge. I've booked most everything at this point. I've still got my flight but am waiting to hear for sure on rides. I'm kinda hitching along so I hope there will be some open seats in 914's once I am there .

Brant I will be mailing out my check from registration tommorow.

If all goes well I will be there & bumming rides. Worst case I will end up coming in a rental. Either way I am pretty much commited to be there. I appreciatte all the willingness to help me get there too. Going to be a little strange being there for 5+ days without a car . Oh well I am sure it will be a great time. I am stoked

Posted by: brant Aug 13 2010, 12:53 PM

worst case senario... I'll be there without a 914 and you can ride with me in the chase car.

but I'm sure there will be better seats available once you get there!

I would be all over that. Except that I need to head straight to Phoenix sunday. So I wouldn't have a way to get it back up there. I'm sure there is somewhere closer to you than SLC I could fly into. With me needing to get to Phoenix that night it wouldn't work. I appreciatte the offer for sure. Barring some other ingenious plan by someone to get it back home that is

Posted by: AZ914 Aug 14 2010, 10:47 AM

Jamie... I can give you a ride from Moab back to PHX on Sunday (its on my way to Tucson). Where do you need to be in PHX? I can't give you a ride up because don't know my plans for getting up to Moab yet because I have some timing conflicts.

Oh and I'm about 95% sure I'm going to flat-tow the teener so you can ride in comfort (i.e. AC)

If there is any way you can fly into SLC and hitch a ride, man that would save you hours of ass time on the way in.

Posted by: JRust Aug 14 2010, 11:11 AM

Hey Jason thanks for the offer. I'm actually snagging a ride back to Phoenix from Wills. I'm also planning on flying into SLC too. I'm hoping to snag a ride down with Eric Shea. I've got a back up if that doesn't work out. As far as at Red Rocks. I will be looking for a seat for the drives .

Posted by: AZ914 Aug 14 2010, 01:37 PM

WELL FINE THEN!

Posted by: JRust Aug 14 2010, 06:51 PM

I looked into flying into Grand Junction & taking Eric up on his offer. Then driving his wife's 914 for the event. Then back up to Grand Junction & catch a flight down to Phoenix. Wouldn't quite work out timing wise. They are leaving thursday to head down. I can't catch a flight until early friday morning. I will gladly take you up on a ride while we are there. I won't even have a crappy rental like last time . I've been holding off booking my flights but need to get on it. Sucks not having my 914 working. Realistically though I doubt I would be driving it out if I did. Just don't have enough time to make the drive out too. Especially with me going down to Phoenix after Red Rocks. That would be one hellacious drive in a 914. Corvallis Oregon to Moab to Phoenix & back to Corvallis. In a 914 with no air conditioning in this heat. Thats only 2751 miles round trip & somewhere around 45 hours of driving . Flights are sounding great

Oh yeah in Phoenix I am staying at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. Supposed to be a pretty kick ass resort. Not exactly sure where it sits in Phoenix. Supposed to have like 3 golf courses though. Sounds like my kind of place

Waide would not have been able to contain his jealousy.

Posted by: Todd Enlund Aug 19 2010, 03:48 PM

Damn. I would be there... but I have a wedding to shoot on the 12th.

Posted by: SLITS Aug 19 2010, 04:11 PM

I've been to Boring ... they don't have weddings there ... they're all cousins and keep swapping back and forth.

You're good at Photoslop. Just combine some of the photos you've already taken.

Posted by: JRust Aug 19 2010, 07:34 PM

Okay so I am looking for someone to split a room with. I can either share one you allready have. Or I have one that someone reserved that can't make it. I can take his reservation & would have a bed available for someone. Or I can take an extra bed you currently have open.

It's ok Wills, I will let you ride in my car, too if you really want to.

Just so you know, the A/C isn't that great and seats aren't as comfortable as you might be used to
.....Oh, and it's missing a few bowties!

Wait a sec. Is Waide checking out someone else's woman again? As long as he's not passed out I guess that's his mo.

Posted by: Sleepin Aug 21 2010, 07:07 PM

Looks like Waide was checking you out Gint!

He even gets intergalactic chicks..........

Now some might get the idea you are making a slight on Rick. I think he has better taste than that

Posted by: Sleepin Aug 22 2010, 08:18 PM

What, the alien in the lap thing? No, that alien was not from Rick's planet!

Posted by: rick 918-S Aug 22 2010, 09:08 PM

He is now. I captured that little sucker and put him to work typing for me on the forum.

Posted by: WaideS Aug 23 2010, 01:21 PM

WTF, why all the hate people?

A) This was before "that guy" awards. I would have been a lock at Atomic.

B) My funniest memory from Atomic, was Slit and Howard stuffed into that little rental car

Posted by: WaideS Aug 23 2010, 01:23 PM

I wasn't checking out Kim, I was merelyy looking away from you and Slits, my eyes were hurting

Posted by: JRust Aug 23 2010, 01:30 PM

I was just waiting to hear from you . LOL couldn't resist a jab here & there. Be good to see you again Waide. Much funner giving you in person

Posted by: brant Aug 23 2010, 01:45 PM

in case the seperate thread I posted falls to the bottom of the stack...

Because I'm under contract to pay for the food and vendors, I have to give final numbers to them on the first of the month

So... I need to bug everyone to get your registrations in if you are still planning on going...

and there are a couple of people who haven't paid that I want to prompt too
If I've already worked out a payment discussion with you previously, then your good to go.. just bring cash to the event and know that I'll bill you whether you eat or not if I get billed by the man...

but this thread is really about additional registrations.
if you've been thinking about attending you need to make arraingements so I can order food for you.

Registration deadline is going to be 8/31

can't wait to see you all there!
brant

Posted by: Gint Aug 23 2010, 03:27 PM

Ooowww... Mr. Sensitive! That's not hate man. We're just trying to get you to dump the alien (chick?) for 10 minutes and make a post. It worked!

Posted by: SLITS Aug 23 2010, 05:15 PM

I'm glad you were wearing a hat, as I would be blind from the reflection.

You couldn't have been "That Guy" at the Atomic .... you weren't conscious. Mind telling us what was written on your head?

Waide

Whata combo .... a GT molester and a blowup alien doll molester ..... Only to be found at NARP events

Posted by: Sleepin Aug 23 2010, 05:40 PM

This coming from the man molester?

Posted by: brant Aug 23 2010, 06:23 PM

Waide,
is your wife's name Jen?


As I recall, his head said:
"happy birthday Jen!"

or at least happy birthday to his wife
her birthday was the next morning, and we figured that she would wake up first and this would be her birthday card

you can be sure that Waide wasn't going to be waking up early to surprise her with a card/gift/breakfast in bed.....

brant

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 23 2010, 06:26 PM

Dude, I was totally complimenting you.
You make Alien blow up dolls look good........

Posted by: SLITS Aug 23 2010, 07:15 PM

Do you think that Jen had to wear dark sunglasses while reading it?

Waide, you are now known as "That Guy .... Mr. Sensitive". Your crown has been fabricated and we have super-glue so it won't slip off.

Wait for it now ... it'll come around on the guitar again.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 23 2010, 08:14 PM

Don't worry I'll bail the last minute and leave Willis hanging, that's my M.O.

Posted by: Sleepin Aug 24 2010, 09:04 AM

That means Wills will have to find another "man-date"!

Posted by: MoveQik Aug 24 2010, 11:22 AM

Like that's ever been a problem with all of you tools standing around drunk.

Posted by: Sleepin Aug 24 2010, 11:57 AM

If I am still standing that means that I am not that drunk. Either that or it means someone should push me over because I landed that way like a flipped quarter landing on it's edge!

Posted by: JRust Aug 24 2010, 12:07 PM

I just got my room at the Red Rocks Lodge . Thanks to Marc who couldn't make it but had reserved a room. Just swapped it to me & we are all set. I love it when a plan comes together

I just got my room. Ally and I will be staying at The Gonzo Inn. It's less than 1/2 mile from the lodge.
Planning on bringing a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle too.
Looking forward to meeting and seeing everyone.

Yeah, he should have planned better. How many months has he had to plan ahead for this?

Posted by: Sleepin Aug 25 2010, 10:14 AM

Just over two weeks!

Posted by: SLITS Aug 25 2010, 10:38 AM

So, the Saturday drive is to Torrey and back? Remember, the roads are only open between 9 AM and 7 PM. After those hours they hunt you down and make you marry all of the rejects at once.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 25 2010, 11:19 AM

The event is IN Torrey. Didn't you get the memo?

Posted by: StratPlayer Aug 25 2010, 05:24 PM

Looks like the wife and I are gonna make it.... Got a room reserved. Looking forward to it.

The reg. fee is per person correct?

Posted by: RJMII Aug 25 2010, 06:54 PM

correct.

I will answer, since I know the answer.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 25 2010, 06:54 PM

Correct. It's the cost of 3 gourmet meals.

Posted by: RiqueMar Aug 26 2010, 12:00 AM

I think me and the Girlfriend might be able to sneak in for this. Is there a SoCal convoy?

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 26 2010, 12:32 AM

Definitely

http://z8.invisionfree.com/ClubNARP/index.php?showtopic=6015

Posted by: WaideS Aug 26 2010, 07:06 AM

Wow, I would look for other convoys, if not remember Slits is grumpy, very grumpy

Posted by: SLITS Aug 26 2010, 07:18 AM

PLUHEEEEZE ..... Slits is not grumpy. Professor 914 is. Slits is known around the salt mine as "Mr. Abrasive" .. and he is very proud of that moniker.

Now, add Ron into the mix (PS, he's the nice guy) and it's one hell of a trip.

Gets kinda crowded in a teener though ... and a fight may break out at any moment.

Yes .... all three are making the trip ...

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 26 2010, 08:22 AM

This one is much more real:

Posted by: JRust Aug 26 2010, 11:21 AM

Yeah man I fly out in 2 weeks! Very cool. Wish it was sooner but probably good it's not. Somehow I managed to get Strep throat in the middle of summer . Bunch of crap is what that is. Law of averages strikes again. I buy another LE & get sick the same day. Oh well at least I know I will be better well before I leave for Red Rocks . So all is well

Posted by: RiqueMar Aug 26 2010, 11:23 AM

Cool! Pretty sure I'm going. If I can't get my car done, the Girlfriend and I will take the 75'. She is scheduled to work, but we both have a feeling that she will get 'sick'.

Posted by: brant Aug 26 2010, 11:41 AM

Rique, we're going to put all of the food orders in with the vendors on the 1st. Let me know how your car progress goes this weekend and whether or not your going. I'm having to prepay the food, so need to collect registration by the 1st to make sure no one goes hungry.

brant

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 26 2010, 12:43 PM

Don't worry, Slits will eat his "hotdog" (so-ta-speak).

Posted by: Sleepin Aug 26 2010, 01:16 PM

16 pages of in the gutter trash talk. I sure can't wait for the parking lot of this one!

An even two weeks for me, and I will already be there holding down the farts fort for you guys!

Brant, save the 20$ for beer! Being the rookie and probably youngest guy at the event, I gotta pay my dues....

Posted by: ThinAir Aug 27 2010, 02:14 PM

It's official, my son Mike will be along. Not sure yet if he'll bring the 914 or the Jetta, but he'll be there.

My car is getting ready. Last night it got the Pilot driving lights and one of Morph's valances mounted. Still a few odds & ends to do, but nothing that would prevent me from leaving now if needed.

I'm ready - This is gonna be fun!

Posted by: Gint Aug 27 2010, 04:34 PM

That is my favorite road in the whole wide world.

Posted by: ThinAir Aug 27 2010, 04:52 PM

It should definitely be one of the drives for RRC

Which reminds me, do we have a schedule yet (besides hanging out in the parking lot)?

Posted by: brant Aug 27 2010, 05:10 PM

oops
just sent it back
saw this note after the fact
don't worry...

we usually pass the hat and make a few beer runs during the event.
also.. utah and alcohol a forced marriage...

so feel free to bring a little beer of your own and avoid the man's tax
we all usually bring a little beer, tequila, something in to share...

brant

Posted by: SharonG Aug 27 2010, 05:50 PM

Mike and I will bring some good beer in cans (Boulder Beer or Oskar Blues or New Belgium or ?) to share. Cans reduce the quantity of broken glass in the parking lot but increase the number of burned fingers.

Posted by: JRust Aug 27 2010, 06:15 PM

Holy cow what is scary is I actually get that . Burned fingers off cans at Route 66

Your secret is safe with me.

Hey, I know you don't like caravans but can we follow you again if we happen to run into you on the way? This time we will be in the Alien. No rental beater this time.

Been reading through the virtual fist bumps and ass grabs... wondering; between the catered lunch and the dinner cruise on Saturday, is there a scheduled drive?

Arches? (Beat a) Dead Horse Point? Dino Tracks? Indian Stuff?

Posted by: Sleepin Aug 30 2010, 02:47 PM

Drive? Do you think this is a car event or something?

Posted by: SLITS Aug 30 2010, 03:57 PM

Standing in Dino tracks, pissing off the cliff is not allowed.

Standing in the free air, pissing in the Dino tracks is allowed ... just for you Eric. I am aware of your abilities to levitate yourself.

Oh, and as a side note ... I applied for the original plates on my 6 on April 28. I received the OK and stickers today ..... 5 months and 3 weeks for the Cali DMV to stamp the paperwork approved. It's a new milestone ... at least they didn't hit the 6 month mark.

It's the long pants under the skirts tucked into the combat boots that really add to the ensemble; leaves it ALL to the imagination... and I'm imagining that it would take a set of sheep sheers to shave her legs...

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 31 2010, 10:06 AM

I can put a few together. I want to be cognizant of other events though.

Rise & Shine Car Show?
Lunch is at?
What time is dinner?

I'm thinking:

Dino Tracks - Dead Horse Point Trip - AM
Arches Delicate Arch Hike - PM
Sunday Breakfast at Red Cliffs Lodge to accomodate Rons' HWY 128 request (kinda like the Lil'Feller)?

I'd be happy to put together and host these things as need be.

Let me know.

Posted by: rick 918-S Aug 31 2010, 10:12 AM

Has anyone asked the hotel if we can use their hose to wash our cars? By the time I get there I will have bug guts from several states.

Posted by: mojorisen914 Aug 31 2010, 10:15 AM

I stopped by Kevins last night to check out the Car-B-Q. It's looking good. We came up with an idea to incorporate a folding table against the outside of the firewall and a shelf at the bottom that would run the width of the tongue and to also help stabilize the tongue. I'm gathering up materials in the next couple of days and then heading back over to weld it in and some other areas that need welding.

Posted by: SLITS Aug 31 2010, 11:50 AM

Damn, with a busy schedule like that how are we going to have time for mass consumption of adult beverages?

don 't wash it Rick ... you win the most smashed bugs award .... but, if you must, I assume that a generous application of Cassadores will remove the guts.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 31 2010, 12:03 PM

Eric,

The plan (Saturday)was to do a La Salle Loop with a detour to the Dino Tracks, then let people hit Arches in the afternoon if they have time (or the other way around).
I think we ate lunch at the summit last time.
Dinner at Red Cliffs is around sunset. That will take us halfway up 128, so if we leave a little earlier, some people could head up to Dewey Bridge.

We tried Deadhorse point one year on a Friday, and it was just too loooong. But if the weather is nice, maybe we try again?
The rest of the itinerary involves blacktop and beer..............

Red Cliffs has a great buffet on Sunday morning, but I know most of the southerners try and hit the road early.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 31 2010, 01:06 PM

Sounds like you have it sussed.

The Dino tracks I was thinking about are North of town. Much better tracks.

Dewey Bridge is no longer...

Dewey Bridge is gone dude...for about a year now.


Eric was saying something...but all I could read was blah blah blah...or something.

Posted by: ThinAir Aug 31 2010, 03:17 PM

I remember some kind of old bridge along 128 when I drove it to get to last year's RRC in GC - I take it that that's not the bridge that burned, so how much farther upriver was Dewey Bridge?

Posted by: brant Aug 31 2010, 04:47 PM

New plan..
we drive this:

Now for travel purposes only, any woman riding with me, the first question I ask is, "How many miles is your bladder rated for?".

Helps me figure out how many water closets we will visit in 697 miles (+ some maybe).

And there are stretches across I-70 between Richfield, UT and Green River, UT where they are no bushes or trees. In fact there isn't ANYTHING out there.

The Virgin River Gorge is a high speed, gentle turn slalom.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 31 2010, 08:28 PM

First, we have to believe you got a woman to ride with you.
Aren't they usually tied up in the trunk?

Posted by: SLITS Aug 31 2010, 08:31 PM

Yep, front trunk. Mink covered handcuffs, silk body wrap, Down pillow, etc .........

Yeah Baby .... that's travlin'

Ron, that yellow car seems to be pulling away from you. Is that Wills' car? wait, couldn't be... he pulls away faster than that.

When I saw 2 double D's I thought it was code talk for a couple of hookers.

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 5 2010, 10:38 AM

Pretty good benefit!

Posted by: JRust Sep 5 2010, 10:59 AM

Yeah he meant 2 daily drivers! I think so anyway. I may be a little on the chunky side but I certainly ain't sporting a set of DD's

Let me be clear I mean I find DD's on a guy sick. LOVE them on women

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 5 2010, 11:09 AM

I actually meant Designated Drivers.

Posted by: RJMII Sep 5 2010, 11:46 AM

I think you're probably bringing one Designated Driver, and a designated Pitching Wedge.

Oh I was way off . Hell who cares . I'm just happy I fly out in 4 days

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 5 2010, 02:09 PM

4 days? Sheesh, this is taking forever!

Posted by: majkos Sep 5 2010, 04:03 PM

Thank God!

Tell me about it! I got a little 914 fix today. Sold a side shift tranny to Scott in portland. Hopefully he will get that put in with no problems. I also have a guy from WA named Dave who is buying my Bumblebee. Heading back down to help load it up in a minute. Sorta sad to see it go but not to much. I like the Creamscile color scheme better anyway

I'm drafting ....... waiting for the right moment .... taking my time ... being patient ....

It was Toast.

And Wills has trouble getting out of his own way.

No wonder she thinks rubbin is racin!

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 5 2010, 06:52 PM

OK... This is bull shit!! I'm getting tired of people signing up and saying they're going to be here and then not showing. I've been here since Friday and haven't seen any of you.

Posted by: SLITS Sep 5 2010, 06:56 PM

It has become quite obvious that you traded paint & body work a little to vigoriously this time around with Val, hence the penalty.

Posted by: SLITS Sep 5 2010, 06:59 PM

Being as old as you are and retired, you're probably tired all the time anyway.

I guess the secret is out ... we knew you would be there so we all went to Bryce.

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 5 2010, 06:59 PM

I was there....they wouldn't let me in the home, they said "family only..he does not recognize anyone else"!





And when you punch me in the face, I have this strange urge to thank you!

I just took the Alien for a test drive.

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 5 2010, 11:56 PM

Sweet!!!

Posted by: JRust Sep 6 2010, 10:15 AM

Attaboy . Any issues or is Alien ready? Don't you need to be hitting the road any minute now

Posted by: rick 918-S Sep 6 2010, 10:28 AM

I drove it around a little this morning 1:00 am ) And just got back from the car wash. My one concern is the transaxle is a little noisy on decel. It's fine at cruising speed and excel and it shifts like a dream so I'm not going to worry about it.

Things accomplished: engine and transaxle out, traced a wire abmormality to my CIS parts, cleaned off 10 lbs of grime caused by a leaking seal I couldn't locate, replaced the input shaft bearing in the transaxle, rebuilt the calipers, replaced the rubber lines, dissasembled all 4 CV's and repacked or replaced as needed, modified the rear trunk bulkhead for my throttle linkage clearance, finished 1:00 am this morning..

Anything else? In my best Arnold... I need a vacation!

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 6 2010, 02:13 PM

Just in: My family's dairy http://www.gingerbreadjersey.com/ has sent me a contribution for you wine and cheese folks :pinkylifter: at RRC! Not sure we will be able to eat this much cheese, but it will be fun to try!

Posted by: SLITS Sep 6 2010, 03:28 PM

Shit ... Now I will have to buy and bring an assdragger Periwinkle Pig. Where are my gold chains? No wine? Can't find my pinkie ring either ... Shit!!!

What's the difference between a 911 Driver and a Porcupine?

Extra Extra Sharp Cheddar only.

Posted by: Gint Sep 6 2010, 06:43 PM

Yum! I can tear up some cheese! Wine isn't required. Beer would be handy though.

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 6 2010, 06:55 PM

Well we have about 15lbs of it for ya Gint!

Posted by: majkos Sep 6 2010, 08:09 PM

57 degrees out right now! Make sure you guys pack a sweatshirt and more tequila!

Raining and storms here in MN. I will be driving through bad weather. I hope it clears off by Nebraska. RainX on the windsheild and RainX anti-fog for the inside. No heat. Hitting the road in about 6 hours.

Posted by: McMark Sep 6 2010, 10:47 PM

CHEESE!

Posted by: JRust Sep 7 2010, 07:58 AM

Dang Rick. Hope it clears for you too. Hopefully it isn't to cold despite the rain. Happy trails

Posted by: TROJANMAN Sep 7 2010, 10:24 AM

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 7 2010, 03:55 PM

We had not seen any pictures of it lately, so we thought it was just an urban legend.
