Howard, this is great news. I'm already feeling rushed to bring my car up to snuff.

When I saw the title of the post the hair went up on the back of my neck. From half way across the country read my lips! After 04, I wouldn't miss 05 for the world! For those of you that didn't make 04, nows your chance to meet some of the best people and see some of the greatest cars ever!

Gotta start getting the engine back together!

Niiiice.
The wedding parts scare me. I'd better pick my traveling companion carefully.

I'll have to schip skool for a few days to do it all. Oh well, let fun be had

Posted by: swood Aug 3 2004, 12:29 AM

I should be done with the car(s) by then.. .

two steps forward three steps back.

Posted by: Howard Aug 3 2004, 12:31 AM

Oh, forgot to mention. Hotel will give us our own wing with garden patio and private parking lot. Since we are putting on the track event ourselves, run what you brung (but no motorcycles on track). No excuses about teener not running, be there. Beck's beer wants to sponsor, but I'm holding out for Jose Cuervo.

Posted by: rick 918-S Aug 3 2004, 12:34 AM

Howard you rock!

Swood eggplant is coool!

Thanks for Advance Notice ....

Posted by: dinomium Aug 3 2004, 12:54 AM

If I start whining now, I just might be there in one of my 914s
HOWARD ROCKS!

Posted by: AZ914 Aug 3 2004, 08:04 AM

Howard,

Thanks for the hard work by you and the rest of the WCC 05 team! It should be a blast! BECKS rocks (been to their brewery twice). Make sure they throw in some freebees!

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 3 2004, 08:30 AM

howard, have the group rates been stated by the hotel? what is the projected cost to be a paticipent in WCC05? the april dates seem to be nice for the weather/ heat. let's see. 1 day to sacramento, and a run to the coast.

Posted by: Ferg Aug 3 2004, 08:56 AM

Ferg, and hopefully Fergwife, and new Fergbaby are looking forward to attending

Posted by: red914 Aug 3 2004, 08:56 AM

the plan sounds great! need to start prepping the teener now, and begin the buildup to full-on grovelling to peak about the first of the year. this is in the realm of possiblity!

Posted by: Headrage Aug 3 2004, 10:11 AM

Gotta start packing!

Posted by: skline Aug 3 2004, 10:50 AM

Howard's DA MAN!! I look forward to seeing everyone there and having the best 914 gathering in the world. Maybe this time we will get national news coverage? Someone has to recognize these little cars. I will have mine done for sure and ready for show, shine and drive. Maybe even race a little. If I do race, I will be trailering the car up there. Its still a 30 some year old car and things can break. This is going to great!

Posted by: morphenspectra Aug 3 2004, 11:47 AM

We will definitely be there, Who are the people in charge of the event this year? We want to make some donations to the raffle.

Posted by: skline Aug 3 2004, 11:55 AM

That would be Howard, you may want to PM him for more information. Thats great that you will be there this year, I was hoping to meet you at the last one. I look forward to meeting you.

Posted by: Toast Aug 3 2004, 12:36 PM

......still need a girl one........

I may even have my very Own teener running by then!!

Posted by: Jeroen Aug 3 2004, 04:37 PM

Good to see you've pinched a date and location
That means we can quit arguing and start planning

Last days of april are gonna be a bitch to get away from the office
I guess we can catch a flight on friday, arrive on friday start having fun
We'll prolly make it a 2 week family vacation (Christie and Zoey will be coming along)

... is it april yet? Can't wait to get there

cheers,

Jeroen

Posted by: mike_the_man Aug 3 2004, 05:08 PM

Well, I guess I've gotta be there. No excuses this year. I already told Slits I'd buy him a beer, so I pretty much have to be there. Plenty of advanced notice, so I should be able to have enough saved by then. Now, the question is, do I drive or fly? And if I drive, do I dare bring the teener? How many other western Canadians are gonna go? Maybe we could convoy down. Strength on numbers and all.

Posted by: mike_the_man Aug 3 2004, 05:13 PM

It's only 1900 miles, the teener will make it, right?

Posted by: rdauenhauer Aug 3 2004, 05:25 PM

Alrighty then Sounds good what Track?
Howard you ARE da Man!

BOO HISS Whats up with that?

Posted by: Mueller Aug 3 2004, 06:00 PM

Ventura, CA...birthplace of ME ....what a special place, LOL

time to start planning......only 9 months for me to change my mind on what I am doing to my car, hahahahaha

Posted by: Ctrout Aug 3 2004, 06:02 PM

I don't know if I'll be able to make it because my job has a bad habit of ruining my plans from time to time. In 2001-2002 they sent me out of country for 12 months and I wasn't able to bring the wife and kids. THAT SUCKED! Anyway, if I could make it, maybe we folk from the North could arrange a couple pick-up points to meet and convoy down. I'm very near to Boise, Idaho so that would work or perhaps Eugene, Oregon or Salt Lake City, Utah depending on the route people are taking. I hope my car will be ready for an extended trip by then. Also remember that much of the West has 75mph expressway speed limits so be sure the car is up to sustained high speed driving. Mapquest shows Salt Lake as the best meetin place for me to catch a convoy from Regina, SK.

Posted by: Andyrew Aug 3 2004, 06:19 PM

Looks like a really nice place!!

As long as the cost stays down, then I think we'll be good!

How long I get to be there depends on how much school I can miss

Andrew

Posted by: bernbomb914 Aug 3 2004, 06:40 PM

I will be there with bells on . If I can be of any help Howard Let me know. maybe I can get 914#2 ready by then. Vernura is a nice place and Apirl will have nice weather at the beach. Hwy 150 from Ojai to Carpintera is a blast to drive thru some nice country. Looking forward to the event.

Bernie

Posted by: Howard Aug 4 2004, 01:08 AM

I don't want to get too specific about the various events and venue since this is far in advance and much could be subject to change. But here are some basics that should not.

'Track' event wil be full day 914club rental of 'Streets' course at Willow Springs Monday, 5/2. R&T uses it for their comparison testing, so look at some of their issues for notes and pictures. The track is very technical. Not high speed, but more the kind of situations you would run into in spirited street driving. No timing, no wheel to wheel racing, and passing only in very limited places. Cars started 20 seconds apart. There is only one spot on main straight where you may exceed freeway speeds, and then not by much. Kinda like a fast AutoX w/o the damn orange thingies.

Track day will be Monday, there will be no extra charge for attending, and strongly advise all who can show up. A fun event, not a race.

Bikes: Track rules won't allow bikes and cars on the track at the same time. Because of the tight turns it is not well suited to you cafe racers, but if we get enough people interested (say 10) we can have a separate run group for bikes.

Here's a picture of the track. We will not run the northern loop as it has a high speed banked turn where you can hurt yourself. Visit the Willow Springs site for more info.

Hotel. Cost will be $60 to $90 per night rooms to suites. Will try to have Hotel comp a couple of suites for hospitality rooms that could also be used as no charge crash pads for starving students and such. Bring a sleeping bag.

As stated before, the main venue will be Friday night thru Sunday afternoon. There will be activities for early arrivals Thursdayand Friday, and of course the track on Monday. One entry fee will cover all but extra meals, accomodations and special events Thursday and Friday.

Track tour. Before you all kick my ass on this...

Sorry for the big size. This was the first time out on a track in almost 35 years, and first time trying to make a movie. Suzi was still silver at that time, prior to getting nailed in the parking lot. http://www.thehowardagency.com/willow3.wmv

Posted by: ppickerell Aug 4 2004, 08:03 PM

We (wife and I) should be able to make it. I am reasonably certain that my car will be running by then.......If not I'm bringing the Boxster! I bought a laser marking machine which comes in in October. I am willing to laser etch some kind of plaque out of stainless steel or brushed aluminum for participants as my contribution. Design your logo yet?

Posted by: drew365 Aug 4 2004, 09:16 PM

Nice video Howard, where were all the other cars when you shot it. Now the out of towners can practice at night. A fast car can top 120 on the straight so I'm going to stay out of your way when your on the freeway.

Posted by: Toast Aug 5 2004, 01:18 AM

Thought of a logo to use that I think would look neet. But, need someone to draw it out for me. I can't even draw stick figures very well.

Posted by: Andyrew Aug 5 2004, 01:28 AM

Soooo... Can the v8 cars and other high hp cars have a burnout contest at the skidpad?

hehehe..

Is there a drag strip? hehehe

A map of the track, yay! now I can study! (gona get me some video's... watch them over, and over, and over, and over....

Posted by: Howard Aug 5 2004, 02:06 AM

Wow, I gotta get me a twin plug 6! Can't get Suzi past 80's on the straight, not that I ever try to drive that fast on the FWY That was at the Shelby club open track. Not too many cars and they were starting us 30 seconds apart. I'll try to dig up some more.

Andyrew, actually it's a pretty straight line all the way to Modesto from there, so go for it. Will give you skid pad for 20 minute burnout demo, but do bring the trailer if you want to take it home

Patrick, that sounds really elegant. Thank you.

Posted by: Part Pricer Aug 5 2004, 03:12 PM

Timing is everything.

Last night, I was speaking on the telephone with another 914Club member. Part of our conversation was about the WCC, in particular WCC 2005. My wife overheard my end of the conversation. When I got off the phone she asked, "What about going to California?" I told her about the WCC and said that I was considering going next year. She just rolled her eyes and said, "Whatever". For those of you not married, this is very far from having approval.

Today, we went out and bought her a new car. Now, this wasn't an overt bribe. We had been planning on this for a little while. But, it did help to grease the skids. On our way back from the dealership, I more earnestly stated "I think that I'm going to go to California at the end of April". She was much more receptive to the suggestion. She said, "Tell me about this WCC thing". I was in the middle of my explanation when we arrived home.

There, waiting for me, was my copy of Excellence that came in the mail today. While I finished my explanation, I flipped it open to page 147. My wife said, "You should go". Then, I turned the page. She saw the picture of Brad's ass. Now, she is considering attending as well.

End result, I'm in!.

Posted by: Jeroen Aug 5 2004, 03:40 PM

Man I feel sorry for ya...
My wife actually MADE me go to the WCC 2004
She's the best

cheers,

Jeroen

Posted by: Ctrout Aug 5 2004, 04:49 PM

I'm still working to get past the "whatever" stage. It might be a long cold winter.

Posted by: Part Pricer Aug 5 2004, 04:54 PM

Why don't you try buying her a new car?

Posted by: Ctrout Aug 5 2004, 06:17 PM

Just got her her dream car less than a year ago. Chevy Astro AWD. She is the soccer mom from H... Maybe a new Boxster would change her tune.

Posted by: skline Aug 6 2004, 12:50 PM

Show her Brad's ass in the Excellence magazine and maybe she will want to go too.

Posted by: grantsfo Aug 9 2004, 02:29 PM

I'm there! A 914 day at SOS will make it all worthwhile. Think I still remeber al the tricks to getting around that track quickly. For those of you who dont know the track its like a giant autocross with elevation.

Posted by: bondo Aug 9 2004, 02:48 PM

My wife and I plan on going. If I bring a spare trans, will anyone volunteer to help us swap it in if I break my trans on the track?

Posted by: Howard Aug 9 2004, 03:25 PM

Absolututely! I volunteer Slits!

Posted by: skline Aug 9 2004, 05:51 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, he can do it pretty quick. I will assist him as he has me in the past. Howard will hand us tools.

Posted by: Howard Aug 9 2004, 07:09 PM

Scott, I may not know much about cars, but do know a good mechaniac when I see one. Just don't tell the a-hole I said anything nice about him. You going to Ventura?

Posted by: skline Aug 9 2004, 10:53 PM

I most likely will go up but it wont be in the Chalon, It still isnt ready for the road yet. I have been swamped the last few weeks and just have not done anything to it. Elliot Cannon came by on Sunday to pick up that adapter and made a comment on how the garage looked all cleaned up and organized. That was quite a battle in itself. When is the GAF again?

Posted by: carreraguy Aug 10 2004, 12:23 AM

GAF is Sept 11th & 12th. Would be nice if we had a good showing of Teeners.

Posted by: jimtab Aug 15 2004, 11:11 PM

OK, I must just be too stupid to live but what the fuck is a GAF? And, where can it be found? Jim

Posted by: Kevin@ojai.net Aug 18 2004, 06:10 PM

A Ventura event, I'll have to try to make it, if not just for the weekend. I have no idea what my schedule will be in April/May, but I'll try to make as much of it as I can. Hwy 150 is a nice drive, but it s being patrolled pretty heavily now days. Hwy 33 north of Ojai (Between Ojai and hwy 166) is a great drive though -- plenty curvy, nice views, and not patrolled, which makes it one of my favorite drives.

For any one coming from the North via I-5 I would recommend taking 166 to 33 to 101 to get to Ventura. It's a fun drive and will take about an hour off the drive. If you get off I-5 at old river rd. it will save even more time. If any one wants to carpool (let me ride shotgun) or caravan from Chico to Ojai let me know. Hope to see lots of you there.

Posted by: Toast Aug 19 2004, 12:18 PM

Time to give her another run for the money after her little adjustment eh?

Posted by: Howard Sep 12 2004, 07:15 PM

I didn't bring a camera, but lots of pix taken. Watch for posts.

MAJOR issues with Casa Sirena. Screwed up reservations, dirty rooms, lousy service. They have refurbed about half the rooms, and I made a point to tell them to put all 914 types in the redone ones. They forgot, and after looking at the second crappy room, Mr. and Mrs. BigKat83 went to Motel 6. They 'lost' Slits' reservation....

Lunch was a social success with about 30 attending and food was pretty good, but it took them an almost an hour to serve us. That's 30; would hate to see them try 130. Expecting call from manager manana. If no major ass kissing, we're going elsewhere.

GAF was nice if you like that sort of thing. So many beautiful cars in one place was overwhelming. Too bad most of them never get driven, but it is neat how they get armorall in the tire grooves. Think there was a seminar on that and truly sorry I missed it.

Unless you were hanging around MikeZ's POS collection with the 914 group, you might think that Porsche owners are not allowed to smile or laugh. Thanks for the chuckles. That's what will make WCC 2005 a winner.

I'll go take my meds now.

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 14 2004, 07:39 AM

howard, YOIKS!!! is that the real deal with regards to CS? sounds like eating was like the rib pit in campbell. the pictures posted made the place seem all fancy. sounds like an ebay 914 now.

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 16 2004, 08:28 AM

where will we be staying?

kevin

Posted by: phantom914 Sep 16 2004, 09:41 AM

To give everybody a real feel for L.A. and also realizing that we 914 owners are pretty cheap, I thought that we could sleep on the streets with the homeless.



Andrew

Posted by: Howard Sep 16 2004, 11:17 AM

Casa is out. They are not willing to make any concessions on rates nor guarantee we would get the 'refurbished' rooms. Hampton Suites is current leader and I'm going there today, although several others look good. I'm trying to keep the rate under $90 per night and still get a nice place. Obviously we can do much better with a $125 budget, but afraid that won't sell. Still lots of time, no worries.

Don't worry slits, the event is still on.

Posted by: phantom914 Sep 16 2004, 11:33 AM

I'm sure you'll do the right thing Howard. You are right about the price thing. A jump to $125 would make a lot of people balk (I'm one of them ).

I was wondering why you didn't like my idea though.


Oh yeah, stop being so pessimistic SLITS. You know deep down that this thing will happen.


Andrew

Posted by: lagunero Sep 16 2004, 01:12 PM

Correcto Mundo Boss! You get what you pay for. It's not like we all stayed together in San Jose. So maybe we can offer two options. One Jet Set and one Riff-Raff. The Pruneyard was nice and from what I understand it was quite the getaway spot some years ago. Fortunately I was there for the cars and the people and didn't really spend much time there and I expect the same situation for '05. Since most of the participants (including the SoCal) will need lodging, why not offer two options? Bringing the family? Take the nicer accomodations. Don't care either way? Choose option #2.

You're looking good Howard!

Posted by: drew365 Sep 16 2004, 06:21 PM

If I was really good with searching on the computer, I'd post a pic of the 914 with a tent built into the back and suggest we all camp on the beach. But I'll just have to be content to chuckle at myself.

Posted by: Howard Sep 16 2004, 08:22 PM

Planning group, please check in! Lagunero solved the problem!

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 17 2004, 10:55 AM

i spent a night in yereka in a crap hole for not much less than the pruneyard. i spent the night in weed, at a generic holiday inn express, with a bed that i looked under the mattress for a sheet of plywood, for the same $$ as the pruneyard. imho the pruneyard was pretty nice digs for the cost. after a full day of driving comfort counts.

kevin

Posted by: Howard Sep 17 2004, 11:02 AM

OK, after exhaustive research, here is the latest. Host hotel will be The Hampton Inn and Suites in Camarillo. The rooms are $89 (and up if you want a suite) and a real breakfast buffet is included. Close to PCH and Mulholland roads. But it's across the street from a major outlet mall, so be advised.
http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/hotels/index.jhtml;jsessionid=US3OW0LYO0UZOCSGBIVM22QKIYFC3UUC?ctyhocn=OXNHSHX Call 805/389-9898 and mention 914world.com to get this rate.

Less expensive ($60 ish) accomodations available across street at Days Inn. Includes continental breakfast.
http://www.daysinn.com/DaysInn/control/Booking/property_info?propertyId=05797&brandInfo=DI Best deal is to book on line.

Advise all who are even thinking of attending to reserve a room asap. You can cancel as late as March 15 with no penalty, and the more the merrier when it comes to haggling with hotel management for freebies. Really looking forward to seeing all of you. OK, most of you

Posted by: Demick Sep 17 2004, 03:33 PM

Nice work Howard. I really like the idea of 2 hotel options across the street from one another. I gotta figure out whether the wife and kids are coming or if I will be going solo.

Demick

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 17 2004, 05:59 PM

i expect to be updated by the minute in your sig. that way i don't have to read the thread any longer. funny stuff.

kevin

Posted by: shoguneagle Sep 18 2004, 06:32 AM

I like the idea of the two places. Hampton Inn has been involved in touring events especially the Route 66 event placing historic route 66 signs at diffferent locations. They covered and have on their web site 66 days of traveling from Santa Monica to Chicago. Very interesting and informative. Any business that will do that has my vote and I will stay there.

My wife and I are planning on being there and enjoying the best group of "car nuts" around.

I would love to go, what is the procedure? I need to ask as this will be my first time to an event and my first time to Caleefornia. I have friends (fellow Canadians) in Fresno so I won't be the only foreigner. Will I need sunscreen?

Posted by: phantom914 Oct 8 2004, 10:18 AM

The final details need to be worked out first as far as registering for the event, but you can reserve a hotel room now at one of the two places in Howard's post a few posts above. Watch for updates.

As far as sunscreen, don't worry, the smog blocks the sun well enough already.



Andrew

Posted by: Toast Oct 8 2004, 10:41 AM

Do you need sunscreen in Sunny Kawlifornia?

YES!!

And a hat too.

The smog only amplifies the sun rays. Kinda like on a cloudy day....

Posted by: spare time toys Oct 9 2004, 01:43 PM

I called the Hampton and to get the rate she told me I need a rate code she did not understand 914 club. Is the rate under something else or did I just get some one who did not undrestand what I was asking?

Posted by: Howard Oct 9 2004, 02:08 PM

The sales person should be in on Monday. I'll give her a call..

Posted by: Carlitos Way Oct 11 2004, 03:09 AM

I'm located nearby, in Simi Valley. I'm wondering if we need a PA of some sort for announcements/music. Since I run a DJ service, I think I might be able to put something together for us... either for entertainment or announcements.

2132 miles. If I get my transaxle rebuilt I plan on driving the distance this year. I hope we have a caravan this time.

I'm counting on you to drag all those Canucks along, eh?

I am thinking the WCC05 will be the debut of my car as well. So many little things that need to be done. Time will tell.

We're definitely staying in Vegas on the way! During the 04 trip we dropped in on Renegades shop. Nice bunch of hard working guy's! They went out of their way to meet with us at a moments notice.

Picture this....(Phone call at 4:30 in the afternoon.) Scott answers, Renegade Hybrids..... (me) Ya.. Scott? Ya this is Scott.... (me) Hey this is Rick From MN. I have a 914 with a 928 V8 and I'm in town. I hoped to stop by and meet with you and check out your shop.... (Scott) Your here?.... (me) Ya... (scott) I was heading out the door but I'll stick around....come on over I got to see this! (scott Yell's back in the shop).... Hey guys there's a guy on the phone that say's he has a 928 V8 in his 914!....

Very coool day!

Vegas Racer, Got that street car going? Ohya.. Who is the Nissan conversion guy? Sorry I forgot your name. My bad.... Ready for a road trip?

Oh Yeah. I'm ready. All I gotta do is fill up the gas tank and I'm good to go. Driving my new 6 I should be able to make a lot better time (plus have a helluvalot more fun) than towing the race car. I expect Chris914n6 will be ready to join our pair of flared black teeners.
Look out WCC 2005. Here we come.

I'm starting to make some plans myself, weather can be iffy in the rocky's that time of year, but i'm game. I'm sure that some other Denver people (Gint, Scott, Brant ect) will be thinking about it as well, so if a caravan gets planned, count me in.

If the gang goes through Flagstaff I may be up for joining in. I don't know if I'll be going straight from Flagstaff or if I'll be going to Phoenix first and then to Southern CA. It's still too early to tell.

If the wife's got a job by then and I'm still employed, I'm there. If not, well... maybe. The car more than likely won't be ready, but that never stopped me before.
