Great ! Terrific scenery, clean air, and great roads to cruise on.

Posted by: Justinp71 Feb 12 2014, 10:40 PM

Ahh... man I'm probably going to miss this one, bummer. Have a baby due May 28th. Maybe I can jam up there for a day...

It was a great time the last time it was in Lake Tahoe. I would recommend going for sure.

Posted by: CptTripps Feb 13 2014, 12:14 AM

Great choice! I'm in.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Feb 13 2014, 12:25 AM

Good choice. May 15th!! My birthday. I'll be 35. Woo Hooo!!

Posted by: Millerwelds Feb 13 2014, 01:42 AM

Posted by: wes Feb 13 2014, 01:45 PM

Wow I've just got to get my car together somehow by then!

Posted by: ConeDodger Feb 13 2014, 01:49 PM

Just do like Jamie and bring it on a trailer. Then, don't get it running.

Posted by: JRust Feb 13 2014, 02:00 PM

Oh wait a sec

Posted by: ConeDodger Feb 13 2014, 03:53 PM

Hey, I told you what to do about it, you did it, it worked, you sold it. Now you have one of the nicest 914's around both running and looking! So, we expect you'll drive down this time right?

Posted by: JRust Feb 13 2014, 04:02 PM

Yes I plan to drive it down. Assuming I can afford the trip after the Porsche Parade that is. Not to mention 2 girls in College . Should be fine though. I'm looking forward to it.

Any movement on this?

Posted by: JStroud Mar 5 2014, 09:14 AM

Yes....should have the hotel worked out this week, schedule of activities soon to follow.
It will be So. Lake Tahoe. T-shirts being designed.

Thanks for your patience

Jeff

Posted by: CptTripps Mar 5 2014, 10:49 AM

Great to hear. I just want to make sure I get the travel worked out before my schedule fills up.

Posted by: 2mAn Mar 5 2014, 02:20 PM

whoa, I might actually have a 914 by then! *fingers crossed*

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Mar 7 2014, 08:18 PM

Great location. Looking forward to it.

Posted by: ConeDodger Mar 7 2014, 08:22 PM

Are you up there yet Elyut?

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Mar 7 2014, 10:31 PM

Of course not. It's not till NEXT weekend smart ass.

Posted by: ConeDodger Mar 7 2014, 10:32 PM

Posted by: JStroud Mar 13 2014, 10:47 PM

The hotel has been decided on....there are deals on expedia right now, so book early and save money. See first post for updated info.


Jeff

Posted by: ConeDodger Mar 13 2014, 11:02 PM

Or...

You could get the group rate by calling directly and saying you're withe the Porsche Club West Coast Ramble event...

Posted by: JStroud Mar 13 2014, 11:35 PM

The Expedia deal is a much better rate than the "group rate" they offered, the rate on their website was better than the "group rate" they quoted. That's why I posted it this way. Once the Expedia deal is over.....who knows.

Jeff

Posted by: ConeDodger Mar 13 2014, 11:40 PM

True, but we need to figure a way to keep lot C. I'll email her with a is up with these rates....

Posted by: jim_hoyland Mar 14 2014, 06:08 AM

Please post the link to reserve. And, is the reservations cancelable without penalty ?

Posted by: biosurfer1 Mar 14 2014, 08:04 AM

You just have to do a search for the dates on Expedia and the rates shown give you the deal.

Yes, you can cancel the Expedia deal up until May 13th without a penalty.

Posted by: biosurfer1 Mar 14 2014, 08:06 AM

They will probably give you the same BS I've heard before... "oh, the group rate GUARANTEE's everyone in your party get's these rates, even if the regular rates go up which I'm sure they will very soon"

Posted by: JStroud Mar 15 2014, 03:34 PM

My room is booked... ...Is yours?




Jeff

Posted by: Marty Yeoman Mar 15 2014, 04:08 PM

Booked!

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Mar 15 2014, 05:51 PM

Booked. See you all next month.

Posted by: larryM Mar 16 2014, 10:36 AM

Booked

Posted by: ConeDodger Mar 16 2014, 12:08 PM

Unfortunately, if we use this method of going through the cheapest route, ie: Expedia and Hotels.Com and such, as it gets closer to the date the price may go up.

I suggest you book now and get this price. You can always cancel up to 24 hours in advance I believe but do check the policy with whoever you book through...

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Mar 16 2014, 10:04 PM

Holy $hit!! 99 cent tacos!!

Posted by: sgetsiv Mar 17 2014, 10:40 PM

I booked my room on hotwire.com - same deal - $225 for 3 nights + resorts fees ($15 per day).

See ya all soon.

Posted by: Heeltoe914 Mar 22 2014, 05:07 PM

Signed up & Girlfriend approved. looking forward to a great trip. I think it would be cool to share Photos from past 914 events over dinner. I have photos from 25 years back I will be bringing mine even if its on a zip drive.

Posted by: ConeDodger Mar 29 2014, 08:53 AM

Firmed up activities so far:

Thursday evening - Welcome BBQ in the parking lot.
There might be beer but I can't officially confirm or deny that...

Friday morning - Gather in the parking lot then a drive around the Southeast corner of the lake through Incline Village and down scenic and curvy Mt. Rose Highway. This goes through the Mt. Rose peak area which is the highest peak in the Sierra-Nevada Mtn Range at 8900'. Those of you worried about your carbs don't. It peaks then quickly, drops to the valley floor over a distance of about 30 miles. You will be mostly off the gas. Once down on the valley floor, we will travel a few short stop light to stop light miles down historic South Virginia Street to Need 2 Speed where we will have a little friendly competition. For those who choose to participate, (cost is $45 each) and I encourage you to, we will have a 14 lap qualifier race followed by a 16 lap main event. Save your time sheet because there will be WCR awards based on Fastest Lap and main event winner. After the fun at the track, we will eat. Basically, and this is still fluid, we will be taking over a motorsport friendly restaurant called Joe's Diner. (Your tab is on you but probably less than $15 with Joe's prices). Then off for our afternoon drive back up the Northeast side and around the lake back to the hotel.
Be sure to pick up your cards at each of the stops because the whole day is a big poker run. Best hand wins!

Room booked can't wait. What about registration? John

Posted by: JStroud Mar 29 2014, 11:15 PM

Cool site for a gathering, I really enjoyed the last time there.

Dave

Posted by: TurbOH Brad Apr 2 2014, 03:26 PM

I haven't been on in a long time, but my local PCA chapter website said you guys were coming to our area for WCR this year.

I don't have a 914, but I am an "enthusiast", mind if I tag along? It'd be nice to drive through the mountains around here with like minded Porsche folk.

Posted by: JRust Apr 2 2014, 03:28 PM

All are certainly welcome. We shun nobody . I don't know about being in your area? Is Ohio very close to Lake Tahoe

Posted by: TurbOH Brad Apr 2 2014, 03:37 PM

Sorry, haven't changed my info. Moved from Cleveland to Reno last July...

(Job relocation from Stoddard to NLA)

Posted by: JRust Apr 2 2014, 03:53 PM

Nice! Perfect then we'll see you there. There is typically an open seat in a 914 for the drives too.

Posted by: ww914 Apr 3 2014, 07:42 AM

35? Yeah, right. 35 years since you retired.

Posted by: JStroud Apr 6 2014, 10:04 AM

Just a couple of details to finish up, the schedule will be posted and registration will be open by Monday. So stay tuned to this channel.

Those are sexy!

Posted by: JStroud Apr 8 2014, 09:10 PM

I would think they would be more interested in the TURBO.....




But those are cool too.

Posted by: McMark Apr 8 2014, 09:33 PM

Everybody knows you can't turbo a foglight grill.

WAAAAIT! What do I call those things. They're non-foglight grills.

Everybody knows you can't turbo a non-foglight grill.

Posted by: JStroud Apr 9 2014, 10:23 PM

That was last year......now you can turbo anything, I'm putting a turbo on my weedwacker

Posted by: Larmo63 Apr 10 2014, 12:01 AM

If my POS is roadworthy, I'm coming up!!!!! I'll sleep in the car. (NOT)

Posted by: JRust Apr 10 2014, 09:38 PM

Finally booked my room! My wife & I will be there. This time to Tahoe I'm not towing my 914 on my trailer . So shut your mouth Rob . Probably won't make the BBQ thursday night.

Posted by: SirAndy Apr 11 2014, 12:09 PM

I hope this isn't a sign of things to come, but i just had the worst experience booking a room with them over the phone this AM.


Me: Do you have rooms with a lake view available?
Them: Yes, we do.
Me: Ok, i'd like to book one of those then.
Them: No problem. Would you like to request a lake view consideration or pay the $20 per night extra fee now?
Me: What?
Them: If you pay $20 extra per night, we can reserve a lake view room for you. Otherwise, you will get one for the normal price if it's available when you show up.
Me: But you said you have a lake view room available for those days. I'd like to book that now.
Them: That be an extra $20 per night.
Me: Forget about it, put me on the list for your 'consideration'.
Them: Ok, That'll be $80 for Thursday, $160 for Friday and $210 for Saturday. Plus a $10 resort fee per day.
Me: Sigh, what is the resort fee for?
Them: It covers the free parking and free wi-fi.
Me: Then that's not really "free" now is it?
Them: ....
Me: Whatever, just book the damn room ...

Posted by: ConeDodger Apr 11 2014, 12:35 PM

So, Friday is locked in...

We gather at 0800 and get a card (poker). Get in the cars by 0830 and drive counterclockwise around the Southeast corner of the lake to Incline Village and on to Mt. Rose Highway. Mt. Rose Hwy boasts the highest mountain pass in the Sierra Nevada Range at 8900 feet. We will only be at 8900' for a moment as we go over the pass and then we will descend quickly and in a very curvilicious manner to 4500 feet. We will turn on to South Virginia Street heading North and go to Need2Speed where we will park the cars and do a photo op in the parking lot. Inside, we will do a qualifier race and a main heat. There is a WCR award for the winner. You will also pick up another card for the poker game here. After our indoor gokart track fun, we get back in the cars and take a long 3 block trip to Joe's Diner for lunch. Joe's is a car club friendly 50's atmosphere rail car style diner. The food is Americana Diner style with burgers and fries and such. Time to pick up another card. Next, we'll wind our way through the Reno roads to Summit Racing Supply Retail store. Seems everyone has a catalog, but not many see the place up close and personal. Oh, and another card. After our visit to Summit, we will head up to Truckee and back in toward the Northeast side of the lake then clockwise, we will head back to Montbleu with views of the lake out your passenger side (unless you have one of the uber rare right hand drive models with you. Extra points for that). Once back at the Montbleu lot, your last card is dealt and we compare poker hands. Winning hand gets a special prize from our perennial sponsor 914Rubber.com.

Important things to know:

Fill your tank. This is about an 80 - 100 mile trip. It seems to me that 50% of 914 gas gauges don't work and 50% aren't accurate. We will leave you for dead if you run out of gas. Not really but Yopu said I should say that...

The cost for the indoor go kart track is out of your pocket, bring it.

The cost for your lunch at Joe's is out of your pocket so bring that too. Joe is calling in waitresses especially for our visit so be generous. Make it worth their while...

The poker is 5 cards best hand wins. Number of decks will depend on participation.

Get your registration in! Lake Tahoe is breathtaking year round but Spring is special because the ski bums are gone and the lake is ours!

Posted by: JRust Apr 11 2014, 09:21 PM

Yeah Expedia was cheaper. Just booked mine there last night. It was basically averages $100 per night.

Posted by: ConeDodger Apr 12 2014, 11:41 AM

Get those registrations in! This is going to be a blast. Fun and friends at one of the most beautiful places in the world!

And we promise, the ice and snow will be almost completely gone!

Posted by: jimtab Apr 22 2014, 09:01 PM

Doubt if we'll make it this year, no teener anymore...it lives in Pa. these days. I don't know if a Honda would be appropriate....

Posted by: ConeDodger Apr 23 2014, 12:45 AM

It would be appropriate as long as you're driving it. Please do come Jim...

Posted by: JStroud Apr 23 2014, 08:06 AM

A 914 is not a requirement to attend, being a member here, and having a desire to go and hang out, look at cars, and talk about cars, are the only requirements......that and pay the fee

Everyone is welcome to attend as always, the more the merrier.

Of course if you don't drive a 914, we will either be jealous of what you do drive, or make fun of you......which ever applies.

Come enjoy some good food, and great scenery, might even be some interesting conversation. Not much time left.....get registered.

It is with low fluid levels and heavy rust that I must accept the teener isn't going to be roadworthy in time.

I grabbed a 2 queen bed room on the 3 day deal if someone wants to take it. $226, with 3x $10 due at check-in for "resort fees".

PM before the 8th.

Not sure who 'invited' the Sierra-Nevada Region of the PCA but when I got the Drifter today the President's column invites the membership to drop in.

I sent the board an email informing them that this is a closed event that requires admission. They are welcome to attend. But, they must be members of 914World and pay the fee.

Time is ticking away! Event in just a couple weeks!

Posted by: JRust May 6 2014, 12:32 PM

Getting close! So looking forward to this. I sure hope we get a good turnout. Seem to be alot of I can't make it this year happening

Posted by: Elliot Cannon May 6 2014, 06:45 PM

I just got a call from the MontBleu hotel explaining that on the day I arrive May 15th, (my birthday) the pool will be closed but will re-open on the 16th (the day after my birthday). So if you had your heart set on a dip in the pool on the 15th, (my birthday) fogetaboutit.

Posted by: JRust May 6 2014, 07:28 PM

I got the same call. I got serious with the girl. I asked what maintenance . She wasn't exactly sure what they were doing. I asked if they were draining the pool? I could almost picture the look on her face. She just says it's down for maintenance. Wether it has water in it doesn't matter as you won't be able to swim.

I said I could care less about swimming. I just want to know if the pool will be full

Again I see the on her face. She says why do you want to know if it's full of water. I said I can bring my skateboard & get more use out of it empty

She laughs & says no you can't skateboard in it. I say are you sure? I'd be willing to bet there isn't a rule stating that . She laughs again & says NO SKATEBOARDS. So I say okay I'm kidding I don't skateboard anyway. I still want to know if the pool will be empty . You cannot skateboard in the pool . I say I don't even own a skateboard anymore. I just want a place we can hang out of the wind at night for our bonfire. It will work great down in the pool as our fire would be out of the wind anyway. At our last hotel we melted the asphalt with our fire . This way your parking lot will be safe . I of course say this deadpan & serious. I give her a second before I start laughing. She laughs too & says that was the best call she's had all day

Awright, awright, awright! Bag packed, oil checked, fuel topped off, GPS programed. I'll get an early start first thing in the morning. See some of you tomorrow.

Posted by: Jeffs9146 May 7 2014, 05:18 PM

Early as usual !

Posted by: JRust May 9 2014, 01:40 PM

Elliot where the hell are you. I'm down in the parking lot & nobody is here . If you got me here a week early I'm going to be pissed

Posted by: Elliot Cannon May 9 2014, 02:38 PM

No. No. You're OK. Just wait right there, I'm on the other side of the hotel and I'll be right there. Shit, did you know the pool will be closed?

Posted by: Marty Yeoman May 9 2014, 05:32 PM

There's a pool?

Posted by: 914_teener May 9 2014, 05:42 PM

Once when I was in Las Vegas and stayed at the Treasure Island. There were several children in the "river pool" I noticed. All of a sudden...an alarm rang and they ordered everyone out of the pool.

Can you quess why? They had to partially drain the "river part" by law to get rid of the contamination.

Don't what to crap on your good time guys.

Have fun.

Greetings Ramblers! Just four days till we invade Lake Tahoe!

Just checked the weather report and it looks like we are looking at clear skies with highs in the mid 70's and lows in the mid 40's. Bring something to keep warm for the late night parking lot get-to-gethers! This is really good news because Incline Village on the East side of the lake, just 30 miles from my house got snow just the other day!

Any questions should be asked here and now because the dis-organizers have to get ready too!

Posted by: RenoRoger May 11 2014, 08:54 PM

Question for the dis-organizers. When do the activities start on Thu May 15? When is the barbecue? I live in Reno and will commute back and forth... and I am registered for the event.

Posted by: JRust May 11 2014, 09:02 PM

Typically the BBQ just starts when there are enough people there hungry. I'd say somewhere about 6:30 or so. Don't expect anything to special with the bbq. Pretty basic burgers & dogs unless you bring something special you want to grill. This is just us doing it in the parking lot. Very low key, basic & relaxed deal. The thursday night deal plenty of people miss. Wether they get in late or arrive friday morning for the real festivities

Posted by: JRust May 12 2014, 11:29 AM

Whoa only a couple days away . Weather looks kick ass all week too. Well in Oregon anyway. Guess I need to check Tahoe

Posted by: ConeDodger May 12 2014, 11:36 AM

It's fine. Mid seventies for highs, mid forties for lows. Sunshine.

It snowed at Incline Village the other day!

Posted by: green914 May 12 2014, 05:33 PM

Just went to Tahoe for the weekend... the roads were clear and was nice. The weather was not bad except for the light dusting of snow Saturday evening, it was over with real quick. I'm ready to go back.

Posted by: ConeDodger May 13 2014, 11:28 AM

Two days and a wake up! Who's excited about WCR2014 Teeners at Tahoe II???

Posted by: wes May 13 2014, 11:58 AM

Yes can't wait to get up the hill!

Posted by: TurbOH Brad May 13 2014, 12:11 PM

Follow up question.

I work Thursday and Friday, but I'll show up Saturday.

Where and when is the "group photo"? I can't find a time or place for these gatherings.

I'll be driving a Guards Red Boxster, and photographing/writing about the event for the Stoddard blog, and for FlatSixes.com, so if you have something interesting to say, say it to me!

I'll only be around for Saturday, won't be staying in the hotel, and won't be eating any of the food. If I don't need a t-shirt, will I still need to register?

Thanks,

Brad

Posted by: ConeDodger May 13 2014, 12:16 PM

Brad,
I'll let the main disorganizers answer the registration question but if you want, you can car pool up Mt. Rose Hwy with me on Saturday morning. Does Stoddard have a location here in Reno/Sparks?

Posted by: biosurfer1 May 13 2014, 12:16 PM

Everything starts at 9:14am each day (duh)...past that, it's hard to say the group photo portion will start at exactly x:xx time since events could go long, short plus getting 914 owners all together for a photo is like herding cats!

Posted by: ConeDodger May 13 2014, 12:21 PM

It looks like I'll be driving this... Original Customs is trying to get 4 cars ready for this event so hopefully McMark can walk and talk after this marathon wrench week!

OMG! Stoddard NLA is two blocks from my work! Never mind Brad! Google answered first!

Posted by: Mike D. May 13 2014, 12:45 PM

Anyone from So.Cal. area driving up Thurs? We plan to leave Santa Clarita around 8am or so.

Posted by: JStroud May 13 2014, 12:50 PM

Brad,
You don't need to register, just show up. The group photo location won't get decided on until I get there Thursday and find one. We will all meet in the hotel parking lot Saturday morning, then at 9:14 we will caravan to the location, do our group photo and spit n shine car show, then off on our around the lake drive.

Jeff


Rob, Marks only got three cars now, mines done and back home...ready to go.....unless theres another one

Posted by: TurbOH Brad May 13 2014, 01:20 PM

Fantastic. I'll see you just before 9:14 in the parking lot of the host hotel, then.

If anyone has a breakdown, I'll be able to drive them back, as I'll have the reliable car...

Posted by: TurbOH Brad May 13 2014, 01:21 PM

We're just across from the airport. It's just an office though, no warehouse.

You're more than welcome to come in for coffee and car talk, though.

-Brad

Posted by: ConeDodger May 13 2014, 01:31 PM

Seems like a good location for a swap meet. Hmmm...

Posted by: JRust May 14 2014, 09:57 AM

One more day of work

Tomorrow my bliss of driving my 914 for 4 days kicks in

Posted by: Elliot Cannon May 14 2014, 10:21 AM

Anybody know how many cars will be at the WCR this year? How many have registered? I'm leaving early Thursday morning. Up at 6 out by 7. Yeah right.

Posted by: NORD May 14 2014, 10:13 PM

You guys better have a vegan Birthday Cake for Elliot Thursday when he arrives.

Second thought he'll probably just have a drink.

Posted by: JStroud May 14 2014, 10:16 PM

We all chipped in....you didn't sign the card.
