5 Days! Alien is coming out of storage in a couple weeks for a makeover.

Posted by: Johny Blackstain May 29 2015, 02:18 PM

Makeover?!?!

Posted by: Cuda911 May 29 2015, 04:27 PM

Someone needs remedial math, I think.

Posted by: Chris914n6 May 29 2015, 06:19 PM

Only 5 hours away

Hopefully the car will want to go to this one.

Quick continuing education coarse for you .... http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/joke

Posted by: SharonG May 29 2015, 07:43 PM

We've reserved the whole hotel! (22 rooms)

Posted by: JRust May 29 2015, 09:12 PM

I booked my room month ago! Looking forward to it. Should have my daughter Kiana with me

Posted by: 76-914 May 29 2015, 09:16 PM

Nope. That's pretty much the way he does it. As long as he gets close he feels accomplishment. Do not loan him your camera or your wife will find the cleavage pic's "he" took.

Posted by: mgp4591 May 30 2015, 12:15 AM

Tried to book online but it sez "call us". I sent an email telling them I'm assuming that it's our group that is taking over that weekend! Finally, an entire parking lot "For Porsches Only"!

Posted by: SLITS May 30 2015, 10:34 AM

Well according to Robert, I have a room now ..... somewhere in the stable

I can only do the 18th thru the 20th for now.

C-Ya!

Oh, Professor 914 will be with me.

Now to fix the car!

Posted by: Eric_Shea May 30 2015, 11:20 AM

Make sure you speak with Robert. Others have been mistakenly turned away by staff that think the hotel is sold out.

Posted by: ConeDodger May 30 2015, 11:35 AM

Hmm... Only a 10 hour drive. More if I stop and pee.

Posted by: JStroud May 30 2015, 01:58 PM

I reserved a room months ago, but with rennsport changing the date to the weekend before, not sure I'll make it. I also had already bought my rennsport tickets...and they're non refundable. Car is done and would be fine, just not sure about me.

Posted by: mgp4591 May 30 2015, 02:29 PM

They called this morning and that's the reason why- now I'm booked!

Posted by: rick 918-S May 30 2015, 05:53 PM

Booked! I may have to quit my job to attend but hey!

Posted by: jim_hoyland May 30 2015, 06:47 PM

Where is Escalante, Utah ? Near any major airports ?

Posted by: ConeDodger May 30 2015, 06:51 PM

I know a place where you an get another job Rick and it's much. Closer to all of these events...

Posted by: ballioint May 30 2015, 07:59 PM

Posted by: Sleepin May 30 2015, 08:14 PM

We might make it...hopefully...


Any volunteers to do awards? Please contact myself or Sharon G.

Mid Southern Utah .... many miles from nowhere / many miles to nowhere.

Cedar City is probably the closest major airport.

Posted by: mgp4591 May 31 2015, 12:28 AM

Major??

Posted by: forrestkhaag May 31 2015, 08:12 AM

Quick facts

Escalante is a "city" in Garfield County, Utah, United States located along Utah Scenic Byway 12 in the south central part of the state. As of the 2010 census, there were 797 people residing in the city. As of September 20th 2015 there will be approximately 842 people in Escalante and the majority of operating vehicles (not including wheelchairs) will be Porsche 914's.

Airports? Not a regional nearby but if your flying a Stearman, you can land just about anywhere / it is in the middle of nowhere and quite scenic with occasional long flat patches of ground....

Looks to be around 600 miles from the south coast of California so it is a great desert drive of around 8 hours with one fuel stop........

Posted by: Elliot Cannon May 31 2015, 11:25 AM

Escalante has an airport just out side of town. Well, OK, it's more of an airstrip. No fuel. To be honest, it's a long flat strip of paving that is suitable to land a small airplane on.

Posted by: SLITS May 31 2015, 12:13 PM

Don't you have to buzz the "landing strip" prior to final to chase the cows, chickens, goats, geese, sheep and prairie dogs off?

I'm sure you can get 85 w/ 15% ethanol downtown. Might be a long taxi from the "landing strip". The cops won't mind as they have probably never seen an airplane that was made of metal rather than wood/fabric. You, however, must wear a leather helmet, white silk scarf and goggles to make sure they don't classify you as a "alien". Oh, and bring your golden trumpet to ward off evil (and Professor 914). Garlic helps too!

Do they speak Amerikan or Utah-ese?

Is the nearest restaurant called "Alice's"?

How many hundred miles is it to the nearest liquor store?

Loa has a Deli in the market. Yuuuuummm, Southern Utah Fried Chicken to Go .... cooked in unsaturated Sheep grease (KY)!

Posted by: rick 918-S May 31 2015, 01:01 PM

Those shirts red rock!

Posted by: JRust May 31 2015, 02:18 PM

Very cool layout

Posted by: mgp4591 May 31 2015, 05:15 PM

I can neither confirm or deny any of your "facts" sir, the only thing I'm really sure of is that Escalante is WAYY out there- even for Utah...
So far as the "unsaturated Sheep grease" goes, it's probably left over from the last female wrestling contest in Cedar City. Not that I'd know... I'm only guessing... maybe from Vernal....

Posted by: MoveQik Jun 1 2015, 05:33 PM

All booked! Ahhhh, how I love that drive back into Phoenix at the end of September. Nothing like the last hour of an eight hour drive in 110 degree temps.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jun 1 2015, 05:49 PM

Sheep?

Posted by: Sleepin Jun 1 2015, 05:53 PM

That's why you got this trailer for your Birthday....

Posted by: MoveQik Jun 2 2015, 08:31 AM

Still have it! I even park the car on it :-)

Posted by: MoveQik Jun 2 2015, 03:58 PM

We had some big haboobs!

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Jun 8 2015, 10:55 AM

I'm a definite maybe on this trip. It's just a question of what form of transportation I use. Two days up, five days there, two days back. That's a lot of just to watch SLITS get drunk and pass out. What the hell is a "haboob".

Posted by: Kansas 914 Jun 8 2015, 10:58 AM

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Jun 8 2015, 11:02 AM

So, big haboobs really aren't as much fun as I might have thought.

Posted by: Kansas 914 Jun 8 2015, 12:29 PM

Evidently not.

Posted by: 914_3.0 Jun 8 2015, 12:52 PM

Wish I could make it. The wife and I stayed there almost ten years ago now. Beautiful area. Be sure to catch Calf Creek Falls!

I also recall entering from the northeast, traversing a section of road nicknamed 'The Dog's Back'. Apparently, people out there were one of the last to receive mail by Pony Express? lol I've hung out the open doors of helicopters, and this road gave me vertigo!!

Don't get caught in a haboob, looking at a hoodoo

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jun 8 2015, 07:56 PM

Sheep don't mind Haboobs...

Posted by: SLITS Jun 8 2015, 08:50 PM

Oooooooo .... Dirty Ewe, Southwestern style.

Posted by: MoveQik Jun 8 2015, 11:57 PM

Huh.....I always pegged you as a haboob man. Obviously not.

According to Robert, there is only one room left that is not booked.

Posted by: sda4property@gmail.com Jun 15 2015, 03:02 PM

Seriously considering attending however,
The bee will have a brand new motor,
Not sure I want to take it into the desert peak of summer,
As the break in miles are not even in the works yet.

Will run brad-penn oil & May have to trailer in. Booo

The hotel is booked. This may be a record event.

If you have to give up your room, please post so someone gets an opportunity to take over the room from you.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Jun 19 2015, 07:20 PM

Well, krap! It looks like I snoozed and lost. Is there more than one hotel in Escalante?

Posted by: Sleepin Jun 19 2015, 07:34 PM

Sleep on the plane.....

Posted by: brant Jun 19 2015, 07:40 PM

Rooms always open

I am already lending a car and room,,,Suzie does not know...Shhh

Posted by: rhodyguy Jun 20 2015, 08:30 AM

just called hoping for one open room. hotel is all booked. i will try the place across the street.

Posted by: SLITS Jun 20 2015, 08:36 AM

there are a couple more and a bed/breakfast.

You're handy ... you created a rag top for your Teener ... have them weld a couple of attachment poles on your bumpers and rig a hammock or sleep under the wing of your Aeroplane Barney.

Maybe there is a lonely woman that will take you in (multiples are allowed in UT ya know).

If not, you can partner with Erc's sheep.

Posted by: rhodyguy Jun 20 2015, 08:45 AM

rooms still available at the Prospector Inn across the street. phone # is 435-826-4653. $58 single, $66 double occupancy.

We are working on the final details today Chris. We will get an itinerary out shortly...

Posted by: SLITS Jul 2 2015, 08:32 AM

Why do we have to have an itinerary? Can't we just "wing it"? This is ClubNARP.


Oops .... forgot .... no chickens, only sheep.

Posted by: Tom_T Jul 16 2015, 12:56 PM

This event is going on Sunday 9/20 in Vegas, for anyone heading south on I-15 that day & wanting a pee/meal-stop & leg-stretching around 4.5 hours out of Escalante UT!

Posted by: MoveQik Jul 20 2015, 05:21 PM

Just a bump for the *real* Red Rocks event. :-)

Are we there yet?? It is hot as arse here in AZ and I am ready to head for the hills!

Posted by: Larmo63 Jul 20 2015, 08:01 PM

I'm going to try and drive up there in Speedy and if I can get there in that car, anybody can.

Posted by: brant Jul 21 2015, 01:06 PM

No event fee.

But the trAck fee is outrageous

Posted by: StratPlayer Jul 21 2015, 02:23 PM

Be there on thursday..

Posted by: MoveQik Jul 21 2015, 10:17 PM

Would love to be there late Thursday but more than likely a midday Friday arrival. :-(

Posted by: rick 918-S Jul 22 2015, 07:04 AM

Room is booked, car is not ready. Haven't seen Kevin since 2004.

Posted by: Sleepin Jul 23 2015, 11:48 AM

We will have a room opening up at the Circle D if anyone is interested. PM me or email me at loweeric at hotmail.com and we can coordinate our cancellation with your reservation.

Posted by: map Jul 27 2015, 10:54 AM

Pieper and Diane plan to arrive the first day. At this point we plan to leave Monday morning.

Posted by: rhodyguy Jul 27 2015, 02:31 PM

Thursday. Fly in to SLC on wed.

Posted by: mgp4591 Jul 27 2015, 04:44 PM

Then where to?

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jul 27 2015, 05:21 PM

Yeah... then where to?

Posted by: SharonG Jul 27 2015, 08:06 PM

Gint and I will be there for the duration (Thurs-Mon).

Posted by: rhodyguy Jul 28 2015, 09:12 AM

Jeff is picking me up and loaning me a driver. If I had more time ( and it wasn't hundreds of miles) I would have liked a solo side trip to Mesa verde. still waiting to hear back from mr Lowe on the room opening up at the circle d. Otherwise I'll be across the street at the prospector.

Posted by: ejm Jul 29 2015, 05:08 PM

We'll be getting into Escalante Friday afternoon.

Posted by: JRust Jul 29 2015, 05:51 PM

I'll be there Thursday most likely. Reserved Wednesday night but not sure I'll make that

Posted by: rhodyguy Jul 29 2015, 05:56 PM

Figure out what low pressure fuel pump you need to use. Best of luck on the carb linkage.

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 2 2015, 12:53 PM

Slipped back to p.5? I don't think so...

Posted by: SharonG Aug 6 2015, 04:47 PM

So someone took your room, Eric ( ) but during the time it took to cancel the other person's room and put it back on hold, someone from Germany snatched it up. So that should be interesting.

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 6 2015, 08:29 PM

some innocent tourist will be thrown into the maelstrom.

Posted by: JRust Aug 6 2015, 10:57 PM

I'm not going to make wednesday night. I'll be there thursday. So I will be canceling wednesday nights reservation. If someone wants just that wednesday they are welcome to it. I'll give it until next month before canceling just in case things change & I can get there wednesday instead of thursday.

Posted by: RJMII Aug 9 2015, 10:57 PM

I have my room reserved, 17-21... hopefully bringing a 914. :-)

Posted by: RJMII Aug 9 2015, 11:28 PM

is there an itinerary? I'm looking at going to a concert in SLC the night of the 19th...

Posted by: mgp4591 Aug 10 2015, 01:42 PM

I'll have a room opening up at the Circle D motel also - I had all days reserved so send me a PM and I can coordinate the switch with the management at that time. Doctor says I still can't put weight on either leg following my accident on June 5th. Let me know and we'll set it up!
Thanks!

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 10 2015, 01:58 PM

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 10 2015, 02:21 PM

Posted by: brant Aug 10 2015, 02:27 PM

maybe you can hang out with the terrified german couple, who are having their vacation side tracked.....

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 10 2015, 02:40 PM

Yep. They are in for a surprising weekend for sure.

Posted by: mgp4591 Aug 10 2015, 04:18 PM

Room is gone - rhodyguy grabbed it a couple of minutes later. Have fun all- I'll be watching from my wheelchair!

Juuuust checking in. One month from now we will be rolling into town!

Posted by: JRust Aug 18 2015, 04:20 PM

Just talked to a Brett (? I think) from Colorado. He's doing a v8 conversion & knew Brandt. I think he is planning to go. Ring any bells Brandt? I think he is doing a 283 v8 conversion

What are the dirt track fees?

I've got just the weekend so I'm thinking of suv camping at the RV lot next door. Bad idea?

This is assuming the car wants to go on a road trip this time and I get the tow bar made.

Posted by: JRust Aug 19 2015, 08:14 PM

2 for thursday-sunday

Posted by: RJMII Aug 19 2015, 11:07 PM

I can't go. I thought certain legal issues would be done...

My room at Circle D will be opening up. someone please PM me to arrange a take over... two double beds, all of the nights.

Posted by: cashiersjm Aug 20 2015, 06:05 AM

If your room is still available, I will take it. May not have my 914 by that time, but I will still attend. You can reach me at eight 2 eight-5 zero 8-0011.

Posted by: rick 918-S Aug 24 2015, 07:20 PM

Were out too. We have a new grandson due close to the event and we will have to stay around here for that. Really, really going to miss attending.

Kansas-Durango-soon to be Texas Mike already took our room. Have a couple for us and watch out for the accordion effect!

Posted by: JRust Aug 25 2015, 12:44 PM

Bummer Rick! Always good to see you & Sandy. Have fun with the grandson. That's a pretty damn good excuse

Posted by: SLITS Aug 25 2015, 01:48 PM

My fourth grandchild is due around the same time. I've been around for 3 of them. Told them to call me if it was going to happen while I was gone.

Grandpa needs a small vacation too!

Posted by: VegasRacer Aug 25 2015, 10:59 PM

That's not what I wanted to hear. We will miss you buddy.



We don't blame you. It's not your fault.




I blame it on the long cold Minnesota winters.

Posted by: rick 918-S Aug 25 2015, 11:19 PM

Ya... Thanks, I'm going to be missing this event and all you crazies. don't talk about me.

Posted by: SharonG Aug 27 2015, 09:56 AM

That's a bummer, Rick. But you know we'll be talking about having a beer for you!

Posted by: SharonG Aug 27 2015, 10:07 AM

Hey folks, if you haven't already, please let me know that you're attending and with how many people.

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 27 2015, 11:14 AM

Just me. No beer allotment needed.

Hey Folks!

Here is our itinerary. I'll publish a schedule with maps and times closer to the date.

Friday AM - Coffee and Cars followed by a drive to get lunch (Torrey)

Sharon ... I won't be there, but if you remember there wasn't shit in Torrey except for the restaurant at the Best Western.

Make sure you take everyone to Hidden Falls behind the infamous concrete pool/spa motel (whatever they call it now).

Posted by: VegasRacer Aug 31 2015, 11:05 PM

Is Mike Moorman coming

Posted by: SLITS Sep 3 2015, 06:49 AM

Well, the clock is ticking. My Daughter's "Bun in the oven" is close to being done. I told her I would cancel the trip if the little bugger decided to leave home a little early. She told me not to cancel as she was absolutely sure he would be in the sunshine prior to the event.

I told her to turn up the heat and git 'er done or turn down the heat and let him cook a bit longer. For now, it is day to day. She has another inspection scheduled for next Wednesday.

We will see ...............

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 3 2015, 02:31 PM

Is anyone about to cancel their hotel room?

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 3 2015, 02:34 PM

check with rick ollah. he's out due to a stork visit. ron, slits, is on the fence due to a stork visit too. if all else fails try the prospector inn across the street. call the circle D and get on the cancellation list.

Hey Sharon, still need a head count for meals (sorry, just poked my head in and saw that). Nicole and I will be there Thursday afternoon and pln on heading back Sunday around noonish.

I'll check my projectors and see if I can get something working with my laptop for the movies.

Also, I'll throw out some "Escalante" only type attractions. Lower Calf Creek Falls is spectacular and right on the road to Torrey. I'd be happy to lead a hike there on the way back. It's listed as "moderate" but it will take 3-4 hours. Plan accordingly.

Devils Garden and Peek-a-Boo Canyon are some other major attractions in that area. Peek-a-Boo is a killer slot canyon.

Its getting close!

Jeff, have you ever seen another body kit like that? Gene and I were trying to figure that one out too- kinda grows on you as you're seeing it day after day...

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 6 2015, 08:18 PM

stoked.

Posted by: Kansas 914 Sep 6 2015, 08:25 PM

What? A six not a four from sixnotfour. Who would have guessed?

Posted by: JRust Sep 7 2015, 04:34 PM

LOL! Yeah he just have to figure which motor he wants to throw in there off his shelf.

Posted by: Kansas 914 Sep 9 2015, 04:23 PM

Update and a bump.

I will not make RRC this time. I had a room at Circle D and cancelled it now someone in our group took that room so that is good.

I really wanted to make this one since I have never been to the Bryce area.

Enjoy the event, be safe - cheers!

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 9 2015, 04:28 PM

Weather permitting I'll be flying the Bonanza up. I have a room on Friday and Saturday. Does anyone have an empty seat I can ride along with? At least I can pick up my "T" shirt in person this year.
Elliot

Posted by: brant Sep 9 2015, 11:32 PM

Crud...
Looking forward to seeing you both.

Pm me an address and I'll get your shirt out

Posted by: brant Sep 9 2015, 11:35 PM

You can share driving my beater if you don't mind how slow it is.
Where is the airport?
Need picked up?

Posted by: SLITS Sep 10 2015, 08:24 AM

Well, nothing has really changed since my Daughter's last checkup. I'm going to hold off for a few more days to see what's happening before canceling the trip.

I don't want to be 7 hours away when she starts labor.

Brant ... if it comes down to it, I will PayPal you the money for the "T" shirts.

Posted by: G e o r g e Sep 10 2015, 09:24 AM

I am out, I will cancel my room on friday, if you want it let me know.

Posted by: JRust Sep 10 2015, 10:56 AM

Well . People bailing left & right . I'm still coming as of today

Posted by: Kansas 914 Sep 10 2015, 10:58 AM

Mary will miss seeing Kiana...........

Besides - I was afraid someone might make fun of my pink car.

Posted by: MoveQik Sep 10 2015, 11:29 AM

I'll be there.

Posted by: Kansas 914 Sep 10 2015, 11:32 AM

Keep an eye on your jack post covers!

Posted by: MoveQik Sep 10 2015, 12:15 PM

and Jamie's will be freshly painted.....

Posted by: Kansas 914 Sep 10 2015, 12:39 PM

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 10 2015, 02:00 PM

Sounds good. I can get a shuttle from the airport. No problem.

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 10 2015, 02:58 PM

I won't be there Mike, so I highly doubt anyone else would make fun of your pink car.

Posted by: Kansas 914 Sep 10 2015, 03:18 PM

Well I know you wouldn't since you painted your front door the same color.

And Eric Shea probably has shoes that color so he wouldn't.

Starting to narrow down the suspects...

Posted by: AZ914 Sep 10 2015, 03:21 PM

His door isn't pink... Its Montpelier Red Velvet.. duh

Posted by: Kansas 914 Sep 10 2015, 04:06 PM

Jason you are right, I forgot. Damn.

Posted by: SLITS Sep 11 2015, 08:23 AM

And Periwinkle Purple wheels .... whoot!

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 11 2015, 08:33 AM

So your 914 is Montpelier Red Velvet, Mike?

Posted by: Kansas 914 Sep 11 2015, 08:35 AM

No - and it is not pink either!

Posted by: 1stworks Sep 11 2015, 10:10 AM

I'm out.
I spent all my money on v8 conversion.Good thing it's back on the road better that ever. Bad thing no tach or speedo bc low funds. Have fun.

Posted by: Kansas 914 Sep 11 2015, 10:20 AM

That is a shame as I know you pushed to get it ready for RRC. I think it was a build/conversion done in record time.

Posted by: JRust Sep 11 2015, 10:25 AM

I can bring you a speedo if it's a stock 901 tranny. Of course you have to come to get it . I hear you on low funds. I'm right there with you. I need a damn break though so my credit card is going to take a hit this trip. LOL! Wouldn't be the first time

Posted by: 1stworks Sep 11 2015, 04:21 PM

I appreciate it but I'm afraid I need gps speedo.
My boxster S transmission has no provisions for cable :-)

Posted by: 1stworks Sep 11 2015, 04:25 PM

Thanks I worked pretty hard on it and it was so worth it.
The car is amazing, I'm in love.
:-)
Next year.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Sep 11 2015, 04:36 PM

Torque app for your cell phone. At least until you get a vss sorted out.

I would think the stock tach would work, just reads double for the v8?

Posted by: JRust Sep 11 2015, 04:43 PM

Speedhut gauges are great. That is what I have in mine. Yeah just use an app on your phone for speed. Rpm's are nothing to worry about. With the v8 you won't be redlining for power anyway . Also the newer one's can come with a wire for Cruise control . I sent mine back to speedhut just to get that added. They are great to work with & fast. Would have been great to meet you bud. Sorry you can't make it

Posted by: 1stworks Sep 11 2015, 04:50 PM

I'm running Ulysses speed app on my phone for now the HUD display is pretty cool.
It is a ls hybrid.

Posted by: 1stworks Sep 11 2015, 04:53 PM

I was thinking speed hut but it was 800 for what I need and am going
Different route.

The power so linear and smooth I've been using my rev limiter for
Tach ;-)

Posted by: JRust Sep 11 2015, 04:58 PM

I hear you. They aren't necessarily cheap. I will say they put out a great product & it was worth every penny to me. Mine work flawlessly

Posted by: SharonG Sep 13 2015, 06:22 PM

4 days!

Posted by: SharonG Sep 13 2015, 06:51 PM

RRC Attendees!!! We're driving into Bryce Canyon on Saturday which is a national park. It will help to speed up getting into the park if you have cash to get in. It's $30/vehicle to get in unless you have a National Parks Pass.

Posted by: rick 918-S Sep 13 2015, 07:39 PM

We are really going to miss you guys this year. I have been unable to work on my car. We would still go if could get so relief for my low back injury. Bryce is awesome!

Posted by: sixnotfour Sep 13 2015, 07:52 PM

I guess that qualifies as a Track Fee...........

Posted by: JRust Sep 14 2015, 12:58 PM

Wow 2 days before I leave

Posted by: MoveQik Sep 14 2015, 02:44 PM

Luckily, my 914 fits 3.28227571 people, so its only $9.14 per person.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 14 2015, 05:45 PM

Right. Next you'll tell us you did that math in your head.

Posted by: MoveQik Sep 14 2015, 05:48 PM

Well obviously I did it in my head. If I used a calculator I would have been able to carry the decimal out further.

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 15 2015, 08:45 AM

How far from escalante did the torrential rains fall?

Posted by: ejm Sep 15 2015, 09:03 AM

Jen and I both have a National Parks Pass and will be looking for a seat on Saturday's drive


About 70 miles southwest on the Arizona border. Watching the weather close since we want to hike the Zion narrows before heading home

Posted by: JRust Sep 15 2015, 09:58 AM

is this I hear about rain

I've had enough of that stuff. Time to check the weather for my trip

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 15 2015, 10:26 AM

Relax Jamie. Flash flooding 70 miles away.

Posted by: MoveQik Sep 15 2015, 10:31 AM

elliot, what's the bonanza's cruise speed?

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 15 2015, 01:28 PM

150 knots.

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 15 2015, 01:47 PM

172.5 MPH is faster than a 914, for sure!

Posted by: Kansas 914 Sep 15 2015, 02:16 PM

Let me break it down for Wills. 150 knots is 172.61614159265358979323846 mph.

Posted by: Kansas 914 Sep 15 2015, 02:21 PM

Well you two will be very popular on the Saturday drive. If I were there I would start the bidding at $10 to have you ride with me!

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 15 2015, 02:37 PM

Wills is a pilot. I'm sure he already figured that for me.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 15 2015, 02:39 PM

And it will be for sale next spring. or maybe

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 15 2015, 02:44 PM

So, aahhh is Utah the best place to be this month? I'm having second thoughts. Anyone?? http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mormon-apocalypse-prediction-has-people-stocking-up-on-food/ar-AAehz8s?ocid=ansmsnent11

That is a lie. My watch isn't big enough.....I can't be a pilot.

Leaving in the morning,,,

Posted by: VegasRacer Sep 16 2015, 08:43 PM

Well Fuch. Elvira is out.
I was going out to fill up with gas. The car started fine but wanted to idle at 500 rpm, sounded like a tractor and did not want to rev past 3K.
I shut her down and hung up the keys. I don't have the time or attitude to deal with this.

Posted by: brant Sep 16 2015, 10:05 PM

It's going to be easy when you get home from a fun weekend.

Posted by: MoveQik Sep 16 2015, 10:41 PM

So whatcha gonna drive!?? Can't wait to see it.

Posted by: VegasRacer Sep 16 2015, 10:48 PM

You have already seen the van.

Guess I'll have to go for 'Best Non-NARP' this year.

This will be the 5th different car I have driven to a RRC.
Black 914/6
Orange 350Z
Blue VW Rabbit
Silver Cayman S

Have fun in Vegas. It should be a great event.
The Red Rock Country Club is a really nice facility.

Tell all the locals I said 'Hello'. (and I will see the cool ones at Rennsport the following weekend.)

Posted by: JRust Sep 17 2015, 08:35 AM

I'll be hitting the road from SLC around 10 I think. Won't be in any rush to get there. My daughter & I will have a few stops on the way

At the hotel. There are a good half dozen cars so far. with more on the way. Pics in the pics thread to follow
