The end of October is almost here, gotta start planning next years vacation. The last WCR party before the end of the world December 21, 2012!
So is anyone planning this event or are we voting on where it's being held?
Posted by: jcambo7 Oct 20 2011, 11:25 PM
Already time to plan this?
Posted by: JRust Oct 20 2011, 11:43 PM
Somebody needs to step up. I realize after such an amazing 2011 WCR you just don't think you can do it 
. Don't be intimidated by the guys who did such an amazing job this year 
We better get one going before my damn v8 breaks again 
go team go

I thought we all voted for Sir Andy and Amoy?
Posted by: jim_hoyland Oct 21 2011, 07:17 AM
I hope that whoever steps up selects a scenic location again. Medford and Lake Tahoe were terrific locations and made the WCR feel like a vacation.
In any case, i'm looking forward to the 2012 WCR.

I thought we all voted for Sir Andy and Amoy?
Yeah I think that was the plan. I think Andy decided it wasn't the time for him though
. I'm sure he will chime in.The only reason to have people planning now is it takes alot of time. I am assuming it will be in the late spring early summer again. It is kind of up to whoever sets it up though. There are alot of people who are setting their vacation plans with work. The sonner they get their time off on the calender. The better chance they have of having it off
Posted by: ConeDodger Oct 21 2011, 08:28 AM
I vote for Monterey... Autocross at Marina, amazing drives along the coast. Kinda cool at night though.
I don't think Andy and Amoy really Volunteered. Maybe Amoy did but Andy doesn't have that kind of time... Andy?

Santa Cruz-Big Sur-San Simeon-Morro Bay on Coast 1 
....actually south to north is best to be on inboard side of the twisities.
Posted by: Andyrew Oct 21 2011, 09:29 AM
I second Monterey!
Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Oct 21 2011, 10:36 AM
Elliott Cannon?
Jonathon (GPR)?
Cap'n?
Monterey is on the Central Coast, about two hours from Paso Robles (Wine Country), San Simeon (Hearst Castle) or 3 hours from Pismo Beach or Santa Maria!
Just minutes from my second home in Atascadero, California. Would be nice to go back home for a few days!
Posted by: BigDBass Oct 21 2011, 11:01 AM
You should have it in Chicago.
Posted by: 914_teener Oct 21 2011, 11:10 AM
Monterey....
Paso....wine country and Big Sur....that would be great.
Posted by: eric9144 Oct 21 2011, 11:12 AM
Good times to be had all over that area--all sorts of lodging even camp spots near San Simeon or up in Big Sur if that's your thing.

You should have it in Chicago.
WCR does not stand for "Windy City Ramble"
Posted by: dw914er Oct 21 2011, 11:21 AM
The Central Coast would be nice. We could probably utilize some of the driving roads from Targa California as well.
Posted by: matthepcat Oct 21 2011, 11:39 AM
Avoid Paso in summer....way hot.

We did the first one here in the Bay Area in 2004...
I like the central coast idea so that it becomes kind of a NorCal-SoCal meet up in between, convenient to a high concentration of 914 owners.
Cambria? SLO town? Atascadero? Thats GPR territory...I smell sponsorship....

Maybe mirror "04" with a parade lap at Mazda again! 
I may have to bring out two cars for that one!

Amoy and her drunken big mouth ...
You are correct Sir, i won't have the time to put in to make an event like this happen. I'd rather see someone else step up and do it right.

I love SLO town, as I went to college there....lots of great food and nightlife.
Sweet little road to drive there ( no cars entering the roadway):

Posted by: greenie Oct 21 2011, 07:50 PM
The end of October is almost here, gotta start planning next years vacation. The last WCR party before the end of the world December 21, 2012!
So is anyone planning this event or are we voting on where it's being held?
I nominate Drew and Medford/White City.
Medford was a blast !
I think the PNW guys that attended last year think that Medford (and the hosts)
should become the permanent home of the Ramble.
Great food,drives,track and centrally located (at least for us up here) .
Go ahead and volunteer Drew, it's really not much work.

Just need a local to step up and volunteer to take the lead. Seriously, Monterey and Mazda are awsome!
The event Jeff planned was great! We had something like 75 cars show up.
I think Ron got a ticket.

I love Monterey but it can get expensive there. Stay away from times anything else is going on.
During big events hotel prices go up and they start requiring minimum of 2 or 3 nights.
There are county campsites at the racetrack though

Ya, the hotel was expensive but nice and had a nice big parking ramp we could hang out on. There is camping at the track. Theback roads, the shear number of cars that this location will draw! We had so many cars we had to break up in run groups.
Click on the link below in my sig space. This was done by my son and his friends as a school final project. The school agreed to let them out early if they did a video on the final build of the Alien and the trip. I agreed to bring my sons two friends if they helped finish the car. It was a great bonding experience and an awesome trip.
We need Jeff to head this up. I was part of the planning in "04" I would help again if Jeff was heading it up. He a great planner!
This could be a record setting event!
Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Oct 22 2011, 01:28 PM
I would lend a hand if needed. We could also ask the Central Coast Chapter of the VVWOA to participate or for some logistics help.
Posted by: dw914er Oct 22 2011, 06:16 PM
I'd be willing to help with the Central Coast planning should someone step up to be that guy.
Posted by: McMark Oct 22 2011, 10:45 PM
Monterey area is definitely a great idea. I'm definitely in for helping out.

Have the Doubletree-inflicted scars from 2007 healed up that well?
As penance for bringing that up, I'll do what I can to help in a minor role. Maybe volunteering will help me keep the teeners front and center...
Posted by: McMark Oct 23 2011, 10:05 AM
I guess that's supposed to be funny?
I wish I knew more about your embarrassing and regrettable mistakes so I could be funny too.

They are legion, believe me. Including a rotten sense of what is/isn't funny, apparently.
My apologies - I enjoyed hanging out with you at the event (remember mini-golf?) and was appalled at the situation afterwards. I thought enough time might have passed for it to have become humorous, but it's typical for me to mis-judge.
Again, sorry.
Posted by: McMark Oct 23 2011, 03:05 PM
I figured it was a joke Steve, just a touchy nerve for me still. Probably will be forever. 
We are good, and I'm sorry for snapping at you. 
Posted by: ConeDodger Oct 23 2011, 09:34 PM
As always, I will help out WCR efforts in any way I can...
Posted by: jcd914 Oct 23 2011, 10:13 PM
Where ever it ends up being I will help out by attending
I'm also up for bringing batch or home brew again 
I could probably put together a presentation on wheel weights or alignment.
(I think I can bring some electronic scales)
Jim
Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Oct 31 2011, 10:58 PM
Anyone?
Posted by: McMark Nov 1 2011, 10:07 AM
Since we're looking at Monterey area, I'll contact LPR-PCA AX head and see what's involved with either sharing their event, or helping LPR put on a Friday event we could have to ourselves (an other PCA members who are off on Fridays).
I'm also looking at a cheap little hotel in Seaside.

Mark,
I'm down to help out again...I can even offer my dad's time if needed (he lives 20 minutes from Monterey) since he is retired and has plently of extra time:)

As far as I know , Slits threw Elliott's hat in the ring Sunday, over lunch. It was kind of loud but I think Elliott was entertaining the idea. You'd have to ask Ron if Elliott 
agreed or not.
Posted by: rick 918-S Nov 1 2011, 06:21 PM
Monterey area is easy. Just follow Jeffs 2004 event, same hotel, same breakfast, Same twisty roads tour, Another parade lap around Mazda, AX with the PCA. Great event, great places, more cars than you could get anyplace. We just need someone local to take the lead.

Hi ya Joe! 
Posted by: hwgunner Nov 1 2011, 10:53 PM
San Luis Obispo?? MarkB will do it!
Just kidding!!!!
I like SLO, great night life downtown for those that want. Drive north on the coast for the twisties. Cambria for lunch or Cayucos. Might be aboe to get some other local P car guys to join. My concern would be rain the later in the year it goes and SLO is real nice this time of the year but north on 1 tends to be cooler with fog.
I can also guarentee that by that time I will have Shat or goten off the pot with GPR. Never been to an event ( 
) so what are the likely things people will want to do. How many "drives" need to be planned?
I used to work at a resteraunt/hotel so I might be able to get a deal there. Used to work construction with John Madonna (Madonna Inn) so might come in handy. Mark works for the State so we might get an in at one of the nearby state parks. Grandfather has the record for the highest speed on the 101 with a police escort bringing up the rear.
I just might do this if everyone wants SLO

I love SLO!
I started my automotive career there, dropped out of college and took a job as a janitor at the VW/Porsche/Audi dealership.
My wife graduated from Cal Poly and my daughter wants to transfer to Cal Poly.

As far as I know
, Slits threw Elliott's hat in the ring Sunday, over lunch. It was kind of loud but I think Elliott was entertaining the idea. You'd have to ask Ron if Elliott agreed or not.I didn't hear Slits say anything. Well actually, I was sitting right across the table from him so (unfortunately) I had to hear everything he said. What I DIDN'T hear was anybodys hat being thrown into the ring.
Cheers, Elliot (One "T" please)
Posted by: SLITS Nov 2 2011, 07:13 AM
I didn't say anything about the WCR. Now that Elliot has chimed in, I say we all stay at his house! 
Ahhhh, memories of SLO. Watching the sunset in the ocean from Montana De Oro. 3 lovely ladies in a rented house on Santa Fe Street. College life was good. Whooo Rahhh!***
***Yes Elliot, I was capable in those days. I'm not as good as I once was, but I am damn good once.
Posted by: ConeDodger Nov 2 2011, 08:54 AM
Sounds like all we need is local leadership. The 'committee' already contains some pretty experienced WCR talent...
Posted by: McMark Nov 2 2011, 09:42 AM
Jonathan/MarkB, if you guys wanna take the lead, it's yours. If not, let me know and I'll start taking action. But either way, this does need to get rolling soon.

I think the most important part is the Hotel so let me see what i can find in the next 7 day. So how many people should i plan for if it is in SLO. I know this is a crap shoot but there must be some sort of formula or norm that can be gleened from the last several years. 25, 30, 40????
What month would you all like to see it in? September?? August?? October?? July??

Posted by: jcd914 Nov 2 2011, 11:42 AM
I don't know the numbers of people but the last 2 WCR's brought 30+ 914s.
And some of us that attended brought family and did not bring a 914.
Usually (I am told) late spring early summer.

Posted by: markb Nov 2 2011, 02:14 PM
With all that we have going on right now, saving GPR is at the top of the list, so I think you guys should plan on spearheading it.
I can think of lots to do in the SLO area, but I'd be more partial to Monterey.

I am from the peninsula and could help out... but I am currently at school in Chico and will be finishing up my Engineering degree in the spring.
I am willing to help, but I don't think I will have the time to setup and organize the whole thing.
Let me know.

as a probable beneficiary of this event, i should offer my help. i'm in san jose and work at a print shop. also, know how to type short non-capitalized responses to threads...
Posted by: kenschipper Dec 13 2011, 12:10 AM
I'm willing to be one of the leads on this in Monterey.
I can check out a motel in Watsonville where I work. Half way between Monterey and Santa Cruz so probably somewhat cheaper. Makes it easy to go either way. Skyline above Santa Cruz and Carmel Valley Road are both amazing roads. We have been able to coordinate with the LPR region of PCA in the past on auto crosses. We can arrange private tours at Canepa Design in Santa Cruz or Don Orosco's shop in Monterey. Lots of other possibilities in this area.
My wife and I would be glad to work with a few others to put this together. We have done 300-400 persn bicycling events in the past (which means that we know it takes a good committed team to make it work without completely draining one individual or couple.) My wife owns a marketing an design firm in the area and her has done the Tee shirt logos for us for the last 6 years.
We're in if we can get a group of about 6 to seriously work on it with us.

If this comes together I'm going to see if I can bring two cars and a couple more guys from this part of the country. I think we should try for a record number of 914's
Anyone know what the record number of 914's at one of our 914 world/(club) events has been?

I nominate EllioT with one T. He's retired and he has lots of time on his hands. Call on Cliff Braun for help, he's smart and he only has one class next quarter. DW914'er Wants to help, too. Get ahold of Greg Fulmer who owns the 914-6GT in Paso, he's organized many many Porsche events in all his years and you've got a central coast crew that are all capable if not willing.
Have MarkB handle the music and you've got a rocking' party on your hands, boys.
I'd help, I really would, but I'll be fishing and surfing in Mexico and Central America way before you guys get this rolling.
sorry about the weird caps, I don't quite have this iPad down yet.

Did a quick check of prices today in Watsonville and least expensive is the Red Roof Inn at $60.00 per night. Being in Monterey or Santa Cruz would be nicer but probably closer to $100.00 per night. Does $100 per night put it out of reach for most or just a few?
There are a few great camping spots around Santa Cruz. Fewer in the Monterey area.
I'll try to stop by the motels tomorrow at lunch to see what's possible.

$ 100 is great. Average rates around here are like 130-150 ish.

Being near the beach, I would think the earlier in the year the better the price. Anything after Memorial Day and you're in full on summer around there and prices skyrocket. My sister is a teacher in Santa Cruz, I will find out when typical spring breaks are in their districts to make sure we aren't over lapping with that either because that's when things start to pick up

IIRC, its around April when the prices start going up.
As a kid, my dad took us every year camping in May or August at Sunset State Beach, Watsonville. It's between Santa Cruz and Monterey?
$100 is cool for me but the wife won't stay in a 3 or less star hotel.

This event and time frame gets my vote. It's probably one of the quieter events, the weather is typically nice too. Plus I think the cars are rad (hella rad!).
Deep summer brings either heat or fog. May could be wet though.

It is all in the presentation! Well maybe
I managed to talk my wife into going an hour out of town with me on Mother's day so I could look at 3 914's.
She went shopping and I bought 3 914's.
I do get reminded of this fairly often.
I doubt she realizes the ALMS race is just before Mother's day, I didn't.

"04" was in June. Weather was great. Candle stick was a little cool and windy. A couple pop ups were blown over damaging cars. We stayed at the Pruneyard about 65 miles north from Monterey. We had great twisty drives to Mazda Raceway. Just a thought but don't get stuck on hotels in Monterey only. We do have cars and Cali has great twisties to get where we want to hang out.

To me the primary "hanging out" spot needs to be close to the hotel I stay at.
To my wife it probably needs to be walking distance.

Big Sur and Pacific Grove are a must drive. Seeing a race at the track would be great as well.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Dec 16 2011, 08:27 AM
The 2011 WCR HQ'd at the La Quinta in White City. Drew got us a terrific rate and the parking lot was big enough for all the 914's plus a trailerable BBQ.
A quick search on La Quinta Inn's in Monterey showed reservable rates as low as $89
If we can get the date down quickly, it will give us more opportunity to negotiate to comfortable room rate.

Pretty much everybody in PCA Zone 7 will have a planning meeting in late January. Sierra Nevada Region will be on the 20th. No one will know their schedules till after that date. They will only know 'proposed' schedules... Loma Prieta Region uses it most with Yosemite right behind them I think... Competition Chair or Director depending on what the region calls it will know the proposed schedule as they are the ones doing the proposal. Contact Dennis Hale from UFO as well. He is the competition dude for the Datsun club UFO. They use that site as well and I am sure he wouldn't mind the extra income if they were on our proposed weekend.
The basic thing with any PCA autocross event now is that anyone can enter. If they are not members, they purchase a daily membership for $10 more. So a $30 entry becomes $40 and so forth...

914s are always welcome to show up at PCA LPR races. LPR and UFO host the most races at Marina. LPR AX used to be led or co-led by 914 guru Bill C. His street legal yellow teener had taken TTOD there once. It now sports a 2.3L TIV. I've been waiting for an update to his 13" wheel conversion thread at AXPaddock.com

Renting the site would likely include a "club" existence. Insurance is definitely required and procedures for safety especially given its a working airport.
The 2004 event was a double up with GGR where we brought the LPR trailer to the GGR event and paid a premium to tip GGR and pay LPR for use of the site and equipment. It was also the PartsHeaven swap weekend.

FYI - the "914 Shoot Out" that was organized several years ago simply piggy-backed on a LPR AX race at Marina. 914 guys just kept track of our own standings, parked in the same spot, and the PCA trailer printed "our" results at the end of the day. Win-win as LPR pockets all the entry fees and hosts a big event, while 914s simply arrive and drive at a PCA event.
No, I will not join an organizing committee.

It is a requirement at all PCA events due to PCA insurance but they now have a 'daily membership' option that is $10 more than the entry, so $30 becomes $40... Membership is a great value though. Even if you never do anything with the club you get Panorama.

OK, then why is the wifey called The General ?
Because he is called the President.

I'll be happy with any date if I can get my car going by then...

I am getting married June 9th, so that weekend may not work for me. But maybe she would be cool with me skipping out on the wedding for the wcr. I mean, you you have to establish what your priorities are early on, right?
You need to lay down the rules of the game early with the new wifey!

Myself and a group of friends are doing a multi-day road trip/caravan in September exclusively in classic cars. We are hoping to end up in the central coast area, so September would be cool!

Staying close to the ocean in September is perfect.
Reno....probably a different story

Some of the most powerful leaders have created the illusion that thier subordinates are in control and thus everyone is happy. If you want to test this theory just try wandering a bit further from the bounds you ususally march in...
you'll find you're tethered to a leash. Some are longer than others...but there still there. Don forget many of us know your wife from the WCR. Mark

I think you miss my point. I have no intention of bringing WCR to Reno though it may go back to Tahoe one of these coming years...
One thing that WCR will never be though is in SEPTEMBER!!!
Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it. Me and JCD914 apparently are the only ones so far who know our history! Here is a hint though: What famous 914 event takes place in early September in the Southwest?

Hi everyone, are we getting close on details for Wcr 2012?
It's new year & my 914 is getting lonely.
So Rust in Corvallis has added second Buick v8 from Oregon,
Can't wait to see it & all the other dreams!

Not the GAF ..... ClubNARPs' Red Rocks Classic

So where and when? I heard a roumor it was Monterey, but has anything been finalized yet?
Posted by: Joe Sharp Feb 1 2012, 01:55 PM
Yep, nobody has the Balls to step up. Whats up with you people.
At the WCR 09 I spent $4K on the track, $1,500 on license plates and another $1,500 on the Trophies. Plus 200 T-shirts and $600 every time I feed the crowd.
Another thing is Club NARP, which I own no part of. Club NARP was the party contingent of 914 Club. That's your party contingent. We need to take them as an example and take care of this.
Now that I am retired I can no longer afford to put on party the way would like to so, someone needs to stick out thier chest, gather up the balls and make this HAPPEN....

Ok restless natives...
The dates and hotel will be announced Friday or Saturday... I can tell you that as usual, WCR will be in late April or during the month of May. It likely will involve an optional autocross at Marina.
As for stepping up, there has always been a group working behind the scenes. As we wanted to include an autocross and we didn't have the advantage they have in Medford of a facility that will rent directly to us, we had to wait for PCA and other event calendars. These are just now trickling out...
Posted by: jim_hoyland Feb 1 2012, 05:05 PM
Thanks for the update Rob 
I hope the guys who brought the home-brews to the Medford WCR can make it again.

You're welcome Jim. One of the homebrewers was JCD914. He has become a pretty darn good brewer if his Two-Trunk Ale he brought to WCR2011 is an average example. The Monterey Peninsula is one of Jim and Mary's favorite destinations so if I had to guess, I'd say we will see him.

I have every intention of being there this year and I will bring a batch (or 2) of home brew.
I am hoping we stay away from May 11/12 since that is the ALMS race at Laguna and I have tickets and camping paid for already.
Jim

2009 Was the year I first bought the 914 I own now....along with alot of other shiza in my personal life. Needless to say I still have the car.
I met Joe Sharp there and a bunch of really cool folks from all over West of the Mississippi. Didn't make it to the race track that year....... but have enjoyed the company since.....no matter how precieved or vulgar.
Leadership is always needed and a calling.....let me know if contributions are needed. I would never expect anyone to front anything for my fun and enjoyment. It's about the people and common interests we have for these cars.
I intend to tow my car to Cambria and drive the rest to Monterrey for this. Looking forward sometime in April or May.
Two trunk ale...very cool.
Posted by: Andyrew Feb 2 2012, 01:25 AM
Thanks for the update Rob! Keep us informed on the dates.
Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 2 2012, 04:39 PM
I will allways be willing to pitch in or help any way I can.
Thanks Rob and company.
AND I will be bringing parts to give away.

Cool. Can make a day trip down there assuming the car is together.
Pray for no rain.

Yabba Dabba Do! Tax season is starting and this annual 914 event is one of the things that helps me get through it. As Billy Jack always said: Thanks for the memories! No actually I think he said "drive that corvette into the lake!" always confuse those two sayings. See you guys soon!

I am told that if you bring your wife, I get to bring my wife... So I'd appreciate it if you would bring your wife.
Yopu wants to see Gina!
Posted by: Lennies914 Feb 3 2012, 10:52 PM
Awesome! This means I have a goal to get my car done! Just need a date.
Thanks Rob (and however else is involved)

Gina doesn't let me go without her.
I think she thinks you teeners might be
a bad influence!

Mine either... Doesn't want to be there but feels she must. Anyway, she likes Gina so that'll work!

The more wifes and GF's the better. Mine is a good sport but she could use more female company.
Posted by: Rand Feb 6 2012, 11:34 AM
Becky will be there.
As crazy as this year's weather has been, I wonder if Tioga Pass will be open then. Driving through Yosemite would be an awesome route.

Where is the official thread for this? It took me 10 minutes to find this... Who's in charge and can an Admin Sticky the official thread or Andy, can you add a "register" link?
It doesnt look like this one is being publicized very well.
I was just given the GO AHEAD to go to this one.
