We'll be towing. I'm thinking day and 1/2 driving each way.

Posted by: mtndawg Oct 3 2016, 08:48 PM

Great location!

Posted by: Mikey914 Oct 4 2016, 12:10 AM

DO note it is a higher elevation. Carbs may have some issues.

Posted by: Rand Oct 4 2016, 12:19 AM

From Atlanta? Tony, are you really bringing your beast? That would win an award for sure.

Posted by: matthepcat Oct 4 2016, 01:02 AM

Very cool! Pretty close to home.

Yes elevation is 7-8k feet and there is the potential for snow in early June.

There is a rare chance that the Tioga pass on SR120 could not be open by June 1 (has happened 6 times since 1980)

Bring your adjustment tools carb guys!

Posted by: Cracker Oct 4 2016, 07:04 AM

Ha! Not exactly. I have "recruited" another chap from slightly farther to the East of me - time will tell whether I have a caravan or solo effort.

The basis for the long haul is to make it a celebration/graduation trip for my son - father/son only. I intend to also take in a track day at Laguna or Sonoma either before or after WCR. If I can get that pulled together, maybe a few locals can join me - show me the lines.

Below is a pic of that "young puny kid" a few years ago in the WCR region! He's grown up since then...

PS: I am taking him on THIS trip in lieu of OLOA in May - too many family conflicts and it still did not include my son. I feel this is the win/win choice in front of me. Looking forward to meeting some of you Western folks...

I'm going to this! Now I need my /6 done!

Posted by: Andyrew Oct 4 2016, 08:32 AM

Sounds great Tony!! Cant wait for the both of you to join us! Lots of father/sons get together for these sorts of events (Including my own father).



I will bring my(my dads) standalone wideband for those that need to make carb adjustments @ elevation. Make sure you bring leaner main jets if you have those, if not it might be a good idea to get some leaner main jets.

Seeing all the amazing pictures I'm really tempted to cross the Atlantic to take part in one of these events even if I'd be 914-less.

Posted by: RobW Oct 5 2016, 06:32 AM

Do it! Its been done before.

A nice kid named Jeroen did it. Made lots of friends.

Posted by: Cracker Oct 5 2016, 06:44 AM

Yes, please do come...that would be awesome!

But you only get an award if you bring your 914!

Seriously: It really is a beautiful place to take-in and is well worth the cost of an airline ticket and rental car! I hope you can make it...

Tony

Posted by: six Oct 5 2016, 09:52 AM

Great place for a 914 event!

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Oct 5 2016, 01:32 PM

I had my Weber 44idf carbs at the Atomic Ramble. We drove up to the top of Sandia Peak, 10,600 ft. Even though it was jetted for sea level the car ran OK and I didn't have much trouble at all. I remember THOMAS yelling, "keep the revs up"!

Posted by: Rand Oct 5 2016, 01:34 PM

Doof. It's a thing I'm glad you don't want.
It's about the people.

Posted by: StratPlayer Oct 5 2016, 01:41 PM

oh yea, count the wife and i in on this event.

Well if all you guys come through, it will be a great turn out.

We are slowly working out the details. I'm going on a recon mission this weekend to scout out some fun.

Posted by: 76-914 Oct 5 2016, 06:52 PM

RECON RULES! Go find us a nice Motel.

Posted by: Andyrew Oct 5 2016, 07:08 PM

Motel 6 is $10 less per night than the negotiated price for the resort.. FYI. They had a crappy pool, no restraunt or bar or conference area, and the parking was horrible for a meeting area.


Looks like a decent amount of people so far and still many of the regulars havent posted yet! We'll make sure to make this a great event

Posted by: Mr.Nobody Oct 5 2016, 08:16 PM

My wife and I lived in Mammoth for 5 years. We still have a number of connections up there. If you need any help setting things up, organizing, or coming up with ideas let me know.

Sounds fun. I'll check my calendar

Posted by: Keith914 Oct 5 2016, 08:54 PM

I plan to attend this event. Will follow booking advice.

Mike and I are making a run up to Mammoth this weekend. Any input for attractions or places we should check into would be appreciated before we leave early Saturday morning. Thanks for the offer.

Just spent the past 45 minutes typing up songwri somethingting for you guys, only to have my computer crash and lose everything.

Give me a night to regain my composure and I'll send you something tomorrow.

Posted by: RoadGlue Oct 6 2016, 08:12 PM

My wife and I were just up there. The road from Mono Lake to near Benton that then cuts back over to Mammoth Lakes is a great driving road. Not particularly long, but really scenic.

Bodie isn't far, Victoria Lakes, Convict Lake (good parking and a great place for a picnic), hot springs, Mono Lake (south shore), Rainbow Falls/Devil's Postpile, Yosemite... Tons of stuff all pretty close by.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Oct 6 2016, 09:53 PM

Averages... high mid 70s, low mid 40s. I'd rather be drinking indoors too

Posted by: Dtjaden Oct 7 2016, 11:41 AM

I stayed at the Juniper Springs Resort last summer. Very nice townhouse and condo style accommodations. Maybe the best part for us, indoor parking garage.

I stayed at the Village Lodge this past summer over the 4th of July. It's more centrally located but did cost a few dollars more.

Mammoth mountain held its last downhill ski runs on the 4th. Huge party!

Posted by: JustinMeier Oct 7 2016, 11:50 AM

No kidding! 70 is down jacket weather now that I'm in Phoenix

22 h 10 min (1,520 miles)

Might be a good break in trip for the 4.0.

Depends if I can get it done by then.

Posted by: Mike Bellis Oct 9 2016, 09:31 PM

Just got back from doing a little recon. Mammoth Mountain Inn is in a good spot, secluded, big campus. I don't think Amoy will get us kicked out.




There are some cool roads for 914. Fon the hotel to Yosemite Valley floor will be about a 2 hour drive. Entrance fee is $30 and good for 7 days. There is a great spot on the West side of Tuolumne Meadows for a photo opp. Many other too but this one looked great. We did not go into the valley this time as we were on a mission to get to Mammoth.

We also hit up a couple loops around lakes, like the June Lake loop. Lots of cool roads.

We headed out to Bodie (ghost town) on a short cut provided by my iphone. It turned into a 4WD road and Marty had to turn back. My Dodge Diesel made quick work of the sand wash. Ended up being a 10 mile dirt road through a valley and over a mountain. Not a good 914 road. The way out we took the main road which was 3 miles of dirt, then nice pavement. a 914 could eisliy make this road but would be very dusty at the end. I think Bodie is off the list. It is very cool and a must see for all at some point.



For those that are towing from the central valley, use Hwy 120 through Yosemite. We took Hwy 108 over the Sonora pass on the way back. This is an awesome road if you are driving your 914 but would be sketchy on the East side of the mountain if you tow. We could do a long tour Hwy 395 to 120 into Yosemite, then on to 108 and back to 395. Would be an awesome 914 drive but maybe 5-6 hours of seat time.

Posted by: Cracker Oct 10 2016, 06:24 AM

Thanks Mike for doing this (and Marty too)...I only have 3" of ground clearance (I rub on a ripple) I don't mind breaking from the pack to take another route but is there is there one in the vicinity of the off-road/dirt road? Race cars on roads problem.


Tony

Posted by: Andyrew Oct 10 2016, 08:04 AM

Bodie I think will stay on the "Optional" suggested sites for non 914's. I plan on having a good amount of unscheduled sites and maps available to allow for those with extra time built into their schedule to enjoy the area or for those that dont want to take the longer trips that we may schedule.


Mike and Marty, Great recon mission! We have lots of great stuff to discuss!!

Posted by: RoadGlue Oct 10 2016, 11:01 AM

Did you go into Bodie off the main road from 395? I ask because there are four or five different roads into the park, most of which are not very well maintained. Only the main road in is any good. It's paved until the last three or so miles. It's good dirt, except for the washboarding in certain sections. No ground clearance issues, even with a lowered 914.

Washboarding sucks, but from what you've described you went in from one of the alternate entrances.

Source: I was there three weeks ago.

Posted by: 76-914 Oct 10 2016, 11:09 AM

Washboarding ain't too bad if you keep the speed up (above 30).

Posted by: Cracker Oct 10 2016, 11:42 AM

Maybe an adjustment is in the works...for others too!

Tony

I took a "short cut" lead by my iphone navigation system. It was clearly one of the other routes.

On the main road from 395, ground clearance would not be a problem for all but the lowest cars like Matthepcat's car. My car is low and I could make it on the main road. There is only 3 miles of maintained dirt road going this way. The other 4 routes into Bodie should only be driven by Eric Shea's rally car. Which would be a blast!

Marty and I need to make a couple more recon missions before the pass closes. It's supposed to rain this weekend so we will see how much snow falls in the mountain...

If we take 914's here, they WILL get dusty. We should go right before the show and shine.

Posted by: Rand Oct 10 2016, 07:01 PM

If you like ghost towns, Bodie is worth the effort.

Posted by: Rand Oct 10 2016, 07:10 PM

If you love the outdoors, you can literally visit a dozen lakes in one day in that area, all near 395.


Busy beavers.

No, I wasn't leaning on a Tufa. It was yards behind.

Eh, too cold for me. Average high/low, 70/40.

Posted by: Mike Bellis Oct 11 2016, 09:46 PM

I think they have some camping spots right up the hill from the Hotel.

Posted by: Rand Oct 11 2016, 09:49 PM

And a couple layers of fleece and a good sleeping bag is all you need. 40 degrees at coldest is seriously not cold for anyone who loves camping. All you need is the right gear to stay warm and comfy. Sleeping under the stars up there gives new meaning to stellar! So worth packing the right gear to enjoy night skies that most people never get to see. Up there, viewing satellites and meteors is guaranteed regularly.

Posted by: Larmo63 Oct 11 2016, 10:02 PM

Five hours and 36 minutes driving time one way.

I will be there if I get the car done by then.

I better get the car done by then, WAY before then.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Oct 11 2016, 10:31 PM

Five hours and 22-48 minutes driving time one way for me

I will be there in the P-car or the P-truck or driving the P-truck towing the P-car.

I'd better finish one and not break the other.

Posted by: Cracker Nov 22 2016, 06:43 PM

The "plan" is to trailer out, do WCR & a track day at Sonoma - that would be the ideal scenario. If a date (track day) can't be arranged I seriously have to consider just flying out with my son and renting a car - to trailer or not to trailer? It makes a 9 day difference in the schedule.

Sent to this site looking for other info and happened to see this event. Joined 914World and very interested in this event. Did I miss out on registration? Will check on room availability tomorrow.

Posted by: ConeDodger Dec 13 2016, 07:41 PM

Steven,
No. you did not miss out. I imagine people will register right up until the week before. We haven't come up with an actual cost to register yet, but you can certainly book your room. Instructions for that in the first post.
This is a great event and having it in the Mammoth Yosemite area! Wow!

Hell I might just want to split one at both event's Chris. I'm right here with you .So I'm good splitting for both if you are

Posted by: Larmo63 Dec 29 2016, 07:39 PM

The Route 66 and WCR are sure getting me motivated to drop that six into my car!!!!

I'm booking my room as we speak.

Posted by: Cracker Dec 29 2016, 08:54 PM

"Anyone"
If I can still make it out...anyone looking to "camp" can use my hauler. I will have two air mattresses and a couple of blankets (a sleeping bag and you're golden!). My son and I will be "camping" out and back but will be enjoying modern conveniences at Mammoth Lakes - a break per say. Make yourself at home.

Tony

Posted by: mgp4591 Dec 30 2016, 04:41 AM

I'll take you up on that Tony - my plans are still up in the air so committing to a room isn't feasible and I was thinking of a camping solution. It's such a beautiful area an I'm fully geared anyway being in the mountains as I am so it's a good opportunity!

Posted by: Cracker Dec 30 2016, 07:16 AM

You got it Mike...room for at least one more, the teener will be in there too (so no building camp fires - in the trailer! Happy new years!

Posted by: second wind Jan 16 2017, 05:36 PM

I am going for sure but unsure where I am staying. I did a week up there three years ago and did Bodie and lots of other dirt roads. Engine melted a couple weeks later due to dust and dirt clogging oil cooler and cylinder fins. No dirt roads for me ever again and I advise against it for everyone. Jus' sayin'....

Getting in to Yosemite Valley may be a problem. In 2016, Tioga Pass (Hwy 120) was closed when I tried to get in on May 15. Not sure when it finally opened.

Posted by: hndyhrr Jan 16 2017, 06:45 PM

It's was mid June last year iirc.

Posted by: Rand Jan 16 2017, 06:59 PM

I'm goin to jus say, you should clean things after driving on dusty roads if you have oil seepage collecting it. Our resident dirt rally racer Moggy could offer some input on that. Don't blame the road for your maintenance fail. Driving to Bodie is worthwhile. It's not that bad.

Posted by: PlantMan Jan 16 2017, 07:17 PM

I was there the first week of June last year and there was still skiing on the mountain. There is more snow this year (soon to be over 300") than last so I would anticipate the possibility of skiing if anyone is interested.
Fishing is good during the first week in June too. Plenty of lakes to land some big fish! Save room for your gear.
If you guys are interested in a place on the water (Lower Twin Lakes), check-out Tamarack Lodge. You will have to pay a few dollars more but the scenery is great!

Posted by: don-6 Jan 16 2017, 07:55 PM

I attended the 2014 WCR in Lake Tahoe. On the way up I tried to visit Bodie. The first couple of miles of the road are paved, but once I hit the dirt portion, I gave up and turned around. My car is just too low, and sprung too stiff. I look forward to visiting next time I am traveling through in my truck.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Jan 16 2017, 08:56 PM

Checked it out; thinking of staying there Wed prior to WCR. There is an internet special rate available

Posted by: Rand Jan 16 2017, 09:13 PM

You missed a great place. There's nothing on that road that would interfere with a lowered car. I do get the washboardy torture in spots. But dang, it bums me when people turn away from great life experiences when SO close because of minor creature comforts. Seize the day!

I don't mean to sound like a noob, but what is the WCR? Sounds like a 914 event, if so it'd be fun to make the drive up from Phoenix. 1st of June means I will probably tow it up, but seems doable.

Or West Coast Classic if you go back so far. It's an annual meeting. If you can make it, it's a gathering of a bunch of us meeting that's worthwhile to actually meet in person at a super cool place.

Posted by: michael7810 Jan 17 2017, 06:38 AM

C'mon man, we can caravan from Phoenix. I'll leave either very early or very late and probably make it a 2 day drive.

It'll be a little toasty, but I am up for it. Let's do it. I'll have to tie up a few loose ends, primarily finishing my car. Luckily it is pretty close.

Posted by: ConeDodger Jan 18 2017, 10:01 AM

Justin,
If I recall correctly, the deposit is one night so if your total would be $375 they charge you $125 deposit.

Posted by: Cracker Jan 18 2017, 05:30 PM

Justin,

I mentioned this earlier in this thread and the offer still stands (in the event that my son and I can still make it, of course) - I have one air mattress left in my trailer; one has been taken. I believe "he" swings right (he has a couple grown children) but cannot guarantee it.

Free lodging might be worth the risk.

You can even use our hotel shower if you'd like...

That's funny....and not. It is very interesting to be sure.

I was in a twin Piper once and the pilot did overshoot it.

The plane ran down past the last marker and just barely stopped of the edge off the end of the runway.

You could have heard a pin drop.

So I said........now what. Do we get out the chains?


25 feet of snow and counting. Bring the skis.

Don't think Tioga will be open but you never know.

Posted by: Cracker Feb 2 2017, 05:45 PM

I now have an official WCR plan; Mike needs to find new sleeping digs (sorry) - not pulling the trailer; and now I am looking for a couple seats at WCR. We have decided the emphasis of this trip should be the "Father/Son" component and without the hassle associated with pulling a trailer/car 7500+ miles. We are driving out but WCR is just one of the many destinations on the itinerary. This will be a breeze by comparison. We are both looking forward to meeting you Leftcoasters in person, first and foremost, and secondly, seeing your rides too!

Posted by: stevend914 Feb 3 2017, 07:31 AM

I'm headed to the PCA Road Runner Region's Fiesta New Mexico over Memorial Day weekend, then a few days in the Mesa Verde NP area, on to WCR, then Vegas, Arches NP, and then PCA Alpine Mtn Region's Rocky Mtn High Way. Not sure what I'll do on the way back to stl.

Posted by: Cracker Feb 3 2017, 10:09 AM

Steve - Sounds like an ambitious trip - great destinations for sure! I am assuming your are doing this in a teener?

Posted by: stevend914 Feb 3 2017, 10:56 AM

Hopefully not too ambitious for my '73 2.0, but I drove to Okteenerfest last year with no major issues and will be driving to Texas in March for Hill Country Rallye, Big Bend NP, and Treffen Hill Country as the next test drive. Last year I drove my 911 from Vermont to California, this year it's the 914's turn.

Posted by: mgp4591 Feb 4 2017, 04:02 AM

That's okay Tony! Living in Utah all these years inspired me to get full winter camping gear good to about 20 below. I'm a winter camping kid since the Boy Scouts!
And I think it's a great idea to keep it simple, let Father and Son enjoy the experience with as little hassle as possible. There's plenty to see and do going both ways!

Posted by: Mike Bellis Feb 4 2017, 11:13 AM

The snow pack at Mammoth right now is pretty heavy. They have received 30 feet of snow this season so far. (as of 2/4/17)

There is a very good chance there will still be snow on the ground in June. Just food for thought for all you camper types...

Posted by: wes Feb 4 2017, 12:18 PM

In 1998 Tioga pass opened July 1! If should happen again it could make a very long detour.

Posted by: Cracker Feb 4 2017, 12:51 PM

How ironic...I may go from "looking for a seat to providing them"...I can hold three comfortably in my Mega-Cab 4x4! Too funny. It definitely sounds like snow is going to be present.

PS: I'll make sure to keep an eye out for those minuscule teeners around me - no monster truck activities.

Posted by: wes Feb 4 2017, 01:41 PM

I remember driving through one year the first day the pass was open in the motor home, the snow was higher than the top of the roof and the views were incredible. This is gods country! I worked in the park during the summer while in school and fell in love with that entire area, it is one of the most beautiful places in the world, one of those must visit for everyone.

All of the ski resorts in the Sierra's are looking at a long season. The roads though, are probably dry. Expect cool nights!

Posted by: Mike Bellis Feb 12 2017, 08:27 PM

50, 88, 120 and other highways are closed for the season. Looks like I have to take 80 to Reno to get there right now. Long drive...

Posted by: Andyrew Mar 14 2017, 08:54 AM

There has been a bit more concern over snow. You can see in the Mammoth live cams that the roads are already clear, and we have 2 1/2 months before the event! The mountain will have snow on it for those that want to Ski, however the roads should be completely clear.

Posted by: burton73 Mar 14 2017, 03:40 PM

I skied there on July 4th 1983. I remember it well. Back then there was 25 ft. of packed snow. It was slush skiing. In the morning it was frozen and it melted during the day. Had to stop by 1 PM. I was 31years old. Just to say I did it.

Join us at the 2017 WCR...

Posted by: Dtjaden Mar 14 2017, 10:17 PM

Last night I took a look at the opening dates for the Sierra mountain passes that would be applicable for those driving from the Bay Area. Given the record amount of snow and more expected next week you could expect the following:

- Tioga Pass on highway 120 will most likely NOT be open. This would have been the shortest route.
- Carson Pass on highway 88 is kept open year around. To get to Mammoth this also requires Monitor Pass on highway 89 to be open. This is very likely. Highway 88 is a great drive.
- Sonora Pass on highway 108 is likely to be open. This is probably a little shorter than highway 88 but I have never driven across this pass.
- Echo Summit and US 50 is open but will be a slow trip because of the maintenance that will be ongoing. 50 is kept open ear around except during and immediately after heavy snow events. It is succeptable to damage from storms as has been the case this year. At South Lake Tahoe, 50 connects to highway 89 (see the note above for Carson Pass.

All of these highways connect to US 395 which runs down the eastern Sierra and is kept open year around.

See you all there!

It's Mammoth! You've got to go!

Posted by: Chris914n6 Apr 28 2017, 10:05 AM

I flipped a coin and a working upstairs AC unit and new roof won.

May the roads of your Journey be clear

Posted by: ConeDodger Apr 28 2017, 09:51 PM

Unacceptable! Flip it again!

Posted by: mgp4591 Apr 28 2017, 10:40 PM

My new job won out... no coin flipping going on here.

Posted by: ConeDodger Apr 29 2017, 10:03 AM

Posted by: JRust Apr 29 2017, 06:25 PM

I've got a hotel reservation but I am about 95% sure I can't make it this year. Haven't had much car time so my conversion is at a stand still. Won't be ready in time. Plus I am buying a house & my lease is up the end of May. So I've just got way to much going on. If something changes I'll try to make it but it is not very likely . Only be the second WC R I have missed in quite a while

Posted by: ConeDodger Apr 30 2017, 01:54 PM

Yeh, nope... I'm buying a house too. I close on the 19th of this month, if the sellers make the repairs as agreed... see you at WCR.

Posted by: mgp4591 Apr 30 2017, 02:17 PM

Damn... can you write me a note?!

Posted by: ConeDodger Apr 30 2017, 04:51 PM

mgp4591 will be unable to start work as expected on 1 June 2017. He will be finishing his weekend jail sentence on 3 June 2017. Weekends after that will for the foreseeable future involve community service so there can be no overtime for now. Also, please remove all small furry animals from the building. We don't want to set him off. Thank you for your understanding in this sensitive matter.

Yours truly,
The Judge

(There, that should get you the time off)

Posted by: mgp4591 Apr 30 2017, 04:59 PM

Posted by: ConeDodger Apr 30 2017, 05:03 PM

so, you're coming then?

Posted by: Chris914n6 Apr 30 2017, 07:14 PM

No shirts.
No sponsors.
No routes.

What's my incentive to flip the coin again

BTW, it's not called a Nissan SnowFinder

Posted by: SirAndy Apr 30 2017, 08:03 PM

I seldomly agree with the dodger of cones but i'm also buying a house (in escrow, hoping to close within the next 2 weeks) and my official move-in date is June 1st (!).

So yeah, i'll see y'all at the WCR ...

Posted by: Andyrew Apr 30 2017, 08:17 PM

Shirts will be following shortly. Oldschool is going to be doing the shirts for us with his company http://apwerksmerch.com/, I havent gotten the final pricing so I didnt want to offer shirts and hoodies out just yet. Also we were getting the sponsors finalized, but this is where we are at with the sponsors.

914SIG
914Rubber
Camp914
Sierra Madre Collection
MSDS
Restoration Design
PMB Performance
Original Customs
Summit Racing
Gateway Classic Cars
Fourteener Motoring Magazine
Elliot Cannon
carmagic.us

As for Routes. One day is dedicated to local drives which we have plenty of nice 1-2hr drives to the local lakes through some exceptionally windy roads that will jamb pack everyone and let them drive as much or as little as they want.

Another day is dedicated to going to Yosemite through the amazing highway 120. Or if that is closed then we will be heading to south lake Tahoe through highway 395.

Posted by: ConeDodger Apr 30 2017, 08:34 PM

Yah! See? Andy agrees with.. Hey! Wait! What?

Posted by: JRust Apr 30 2017, 09:30 PM

Yes but you guys are both much more amazing than myself. I leave for Utah this week to watch my daughter graduate. Once I get back I have to find my new house. Then get my house all ready to move. Which would be no problem. IF it wasn't for my shop & all the 914 shit I have to move too. None of which leave's me any time to finish my new motor conversion. Which is mocked up in place & that is it. Believe me if there is a chance I would like nothing more than to come. I did say there was a 5% chance

Posted by: ConeDodger Apr 30 2017, 10:56 PM

5%?

Oh, so we'll see you there then!

Posted by: Chris914n6 Apr 30 2017, 11:29 PM

Sorry I had to...

PS. This scene actually took place in a ski resort

Posted by: mgp4591 May 1 2017, 12:18 AM

Well considering who hired me, I'd probably better not....
And it probably doesn't sit better with you knowing I've registered for Octeenerfest!

Posted by: olsib914 May 1 2017, 10:23 AM

Sorry this year will be a miss. 914 went down for rehab..motor,trans,body and paint..minor things.. Reservation canceled
Olsib 914 yet another Mike (but first name Thomas)
Palmer

Posted by: ConeDodger May 1 2017, 01:06 PM

Trust me on this, you give them that note, you're going to get some time off. They'll even help you carry your stuff to your car and make sure you find your way off the property...

Posted by: ConeDodger May 1 2017, 01:07 PM

I see Leamon lurking. Could it be? Could we be seeing Leamon for WCR again?

Posted by: green914 May 1 2017, 03:02 PM

Any of you from the Reno/Tahoe area want to meet up somewhere on 395 and caravan too Mammoth?

Posted by: JustinMeier May 1 2017, 04:42 PM

I'm in the same boat.. Knock on #3, need to move the oil cooler and fuel pump to the front before I can do another trip. 250* oil temps aren't fun.

Posted by: Andyrew May 2 2017, 08:41 AM

Registration closed! PM me if you still want to come, as at this point we have to make special accommodations or considerations.

Still time to negotiate your way in! Price may go up a bit, but this is Mammoth! We're going to freakin' Mammoth man!

Posted by: tygaboy May 2 2017, 06:44 PM

But wait: it doesn't stop there! You'll also get a super awesome, Tygaboy (aka "Red Barn Yard Art") memento of the event! These are absolutely guaranteed to appreciate - given you paid nothing for them...

Hey, it beats a slap in the belly with a wet fish!

See you there!

Posted by: Cracker May 2 2017, 06:48 PM

I GREATLY appreciate your enthusiasm Rob!

Tony,
My basic job is cheerlead and advise. + we're going to Mammoth man!

Posted by: Larmo63 May 2 2017, 07:08 PM

I'll be there, but I will be somebody's co-pilot during the drives.

Anybody bringing guitars?

Posted by: Heeltoe914 May 2 2017, 09:47 PM

How are you? Yes happy to say I am 100% in the game.
Reg paid, Cars ready... BUTTTTT? May be driving a DD. I need to get to the Parts Heaven Swap Meet on Sunday by 7am in Hayward CA, 6 hours from MM? Departing MM at 10pm after banquet... Then drive back to Los Angeles down the 5 fry with 100 degree temps at 1pm after swap (this I can handle)...
So do I man up and drive the roads in a 914 from MM to Hayward at 2am in the morning?????? with Bad headlights unfamiliar roads??

Posted by: ConeDodger May 2 2017, 10:38 PM

Ha! You wouldn't be Leamon if you didn't!

And it's Mammoth man!

Awesome contributions, Chris. Wow.

Posted by: tygaboy May 4 2017, 07:29 PM

Can't do the drive fellas. Still waiting for approval for an RFN. Maybe Red Rocks this year.... Man I miss my seat time and all you guys.

Posted by: michael7810 May 7 2017, 02:58 PM

Just curious; will summer tires be OK for the expected temps? I just looked at the Mammoth Lakes forecast and the nighttime lows are expected to be 33 and highs in the upper 50s. Will we be driving to areas considerably higher/colder than Mammoth Lakes?

Posted by: Andyrew May 7 2017, 04:01 PM

Summer tires should be fine for the roads were taking. Its not going to snow but there might be slush on 108 if they get to plow it.

Ill be on summer tires and so will most other people.

Posted by: michael7810 May 7 2017, 04:47 PM

Thanks Andyrew-being from Phoenix I use summer tires all year but just discovered I have to buy(at least) 2 tires before WCR so it got me thinking.

Posted by: piscean914 May 7 2017, 07:44 PM

i always carry my autosocks when in these conditions - never had to use them though!

Let's start with a little signage that'll be there - just so you know you're in the right place!

I think you need to market these! That is simply amazing!

Have we thought about "That Guy/Gal"...

Posted by: tygaboy May 8 2017, 09:09 AM

Can't sell branded stuff. This is going on my office wall!

Counting down! WCR is zooming towards us!

Posted by: tygaboy May 9 2017, 11:35 AM

ZOOOOOM!!!!

________________________________

The beauty of the plasma cutter is that the "drops" can be used to create other goodies! One of my mottos is "No metal will be left behind!"

Not sure how these will be used, just playing around at this point.

But wait 'til you see the part they came from and how it's being used in the final piece.

Posted by: Cracker May 9 2017, 04:48 PM

Alright...I do not have a plasma cutter but we (Southern boys) do have knives! Looking forward to seeing someone win this award! And just so the winner never forgets who brought it - I am on the back!

PS: This is carved from a solid piece of premium northern Bass wood - best damn carving wood you can get. My apologies to the "world" community - I thought sacrificing the "club" emblem was worthwhile and colorful! No offense intended...

Tony

Posted by: tygaboy May 9 2017, 04:59 PM

Tony, that is awesome! The plasma table is pretty neat but there's a coldness to the parts it makes. There's something about "handmade" that to me just oozes love.

Now if only my LS car could be in contention... ah well, maybe next year?

Posted by: SirAndy May 9 2017, 05:16 PM

That's one of the best uses for that badge that i have seen.

I'm tempted to mount a radiator dude!

Posted by: Mike Bellis May 10 2017, 11:09 PM

You only need to spray water on your cylinder fins to qualify.

Posted by: Andyrew May 10 2017, 11:12 PM

I've got a water injection kit you can borrow if you want to point the nozzle at the cylinders

Posted by: michael7810 May 11 2017, 05:59 AM

Does it count that I will be water cooled?

Posted by: Andyrew May 11 2017, 07:28 AM

Are you cooling yourself or the engine?

Posted by: Elliot Cannon May 11 2017, 08:02 AM

Is 914club.com having a WCR at the same time 914world.com is? Are the two groups merging again? Does this mean I can start using my 914club.com coffee mugs?

That is awesome! I think it looks amazing in pictures!!

For clarification thats not a prize or award, just a sign he is bringing for the event just to make it more awesome

Posted by: Elliot Cannon May 18 2017, 11:09 PM

I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am I won't be making this event. Bad enough missing Route66. The good news is, I'll be in London and Barcelona for the next 20 days or so. I want to be at Red Rocks so bad this year if it kills me. OK, well, maybe not THAT bad but pretty darn bad. Any teeners in London or Barthelona?

Posted by: Andyrew May 18 2017, 11:40 PM

We will miss you!! But I am sure you'll have plenty of fun in London and Barcelona!

Posted by: Matty900 May 19 2017, 12:19 AM

That is Awesome. What about putting led strip lights on the back and then a cover on the back to reflect the light through all of the openings?

Posted by: Mike D. May 19 2017, 07:03 PM

Who's going to eat all the lettuce sandwiches? Who's going to make fun of my shorts?

We'll miss you Elliot.

Here. I found you some vegetarian restaurants in Barcelona.

And y'all can count me, my wife and our two guests as excited!

As to the pic, a study showed working at a cluttered desk (shop?) positively influences people’s creative thinking ability.
This would suggest the WCR goodies are getting some serious creativity thrown at them... (I may be a bit biased but I think you'll all enjoy them...)

See you soon!

Someone will either cancel or significant other decides not to go. My wife and sister are on the fence. I might also have to cancel depending on the outcome of my doctors appointment next Tuesday. Crap happens...

Posted by: Andyrew May 23 2017, 11:31 AM

I have one canceled registration. I have to get the total dinner guests that I am financially responsible to by noon today.



SO if you have a guest not coming or might not be coming yourself LET ME KNOW BY NOON! I Might be able to get you some credit back from your registration!

Is Mammoth still open for snow skiing on 06/03/2017?

Posted by: PlantMan May 24 2017, 06:38 PM

It will be open.
It was open until July 4th last year and they are coming off the best year in a long time. They got several feet of snow around Easter.

Where is WCR 2018?

Posted by: VegasRacer May 24 2017, 08:48 PM

I thought all I had to do to get Elvira ready for the trip was to wash her and gas up.

Now this.



Do I need to replace the broken clutch cable or can I just splice it back together again?

Posted by: Larmo63 May 24 2017, 09:20 PM

I'm taking Keith's room, I'm set, thank you for all the positive feedback.

I won't be driving my project which is inching ever so close to being done, but I am a sold out 914 fan. I'll bring my guitar and hopefully someone else will too so we can jam.

See you Friday!!!!
See, I'm still excited.

Yep.. I plan on skiing one day. Next best thing!! Hope it's not too icy

Posted by: Andyrew May 24 2017, 11:27 PM

I would just replace the cable. Much easier than splicing it and a much longer term solution. Looks like iy snapped at the roller anyways, cant splice that.

Posted by: Andyrew May 24 2017, 11:28 PM

Determined typically a couple months after WCR.

Posted by: VegasRacer May 24 2017, 11:38 PM

It was supposed to be a joke.





While I am in there . . . . I think I will replace the throttle cable as well. Both are 15-25 years old, with lots of hard use.

Posted by: Andyrew May 25 2017, 02:30 PM

OK,

Im going to put this to a poll.

Guests, Friday we will have our "Long" drive. We have two options.

1. Drive up to South Lake Tahoe: Its a beautiful drive and a fantastic destination which most might want to spend all day at. Lunch options will be either a packed lunch (provided) or one of the many great eateries.

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/South+Lake+Tahoe,+California/Mammoth+Mountain+Ski+Area,+10001+Minaret+Rd,+Mammoth+Lakes,+CA+93546/@38.1382065,-120.7717432,9z/data=!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x80998589eea54fe1:0xdd1b2f46fb23918e!2m2!1d-119.9771868!2d38.939926!1m5!1m1!1s0x80960d4ed49fd3d1:0xda9c3289d175614!2m2!1d-119.036807!2d37.6508758

2. Drive South to Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest: Incredibly twisty road with a great view. We'll have a packed lunch at the lodge and those that want to head back can and those that want to keep driving can as well. Great roads.



Saturday will be local short drives to enjoy the local lakes and park roads as well as activities and a show and shine with the awards dinner to follow afterwards.

Posted by: piscean914 May 25 2017, 02:48 PM

Define Long Drive. Save the golf jokes.

Posted by: second wind May 25 2017, 04:29 PM

Bristlecone pines for me.....I hear it is a very rough and possibly dirt road. Maybe Death Valley should be an option? Driving to another city sounds eh? to me.
gg

Posted by: Steve May 25 2017, 05:04 PM

I say south. Driven to Tahoe a bazillion times

Posted by: Eddie914 May 25 2017, 06:26 PM

South ...

I would love to join everyone!

Gotta go to a memorial ... one of those once in a lifetime kind of things

Posted by: Dtjaden May 25 2017, 09:47 PM

REVISED: my wife votes for south which means that I also do. HWHL

Am clearly a minority opinion but having driven both north and south from Mammoth including 395 to CA 168 and on to Nevada. The south route suggested is "boring" compared to a north route of 395 to CA 89 to South Lake Tahoe. Also many great restaurant choices in South Lake.

Posted by: Heeltoe914 May 25 2017, 10:48 PM

I've got a question to anyone that lives in or around the mammoth lakes area? I need to drive from Mammoth Lakes, our hotel to Hayward California.. planed on leaving after the banquet, Map says I need to go north around the mountain.
I need to do this drive after the banquet I expect it to be five to six hour drive what kind of Roads? what kind of conditions? anything I should know?

Posted by: ConeDodger May 25 2017, 11:21 PM

North on 395 to 80? Peice of cake. Some road construction delay on 80 in 3-4 different spots. You can avoid that by going the slow but scenic hwy50 route and rejoin 80 in Sacramento. Roads are dry though there is plenty of snow off the side of the road.

Posted by: Cracker May 26 2017, 05:42 AM

Please consider whichever route has larger mountains (and especially) is green-er (whether that is the Northern or Southern routes)...

I am going to have my eyeballs full of "desert and dry" landscape for the last 2.5 days of travel (I am not a fan of desert/dry landscapes - I am a Southeasterner!).

Whichever route avoids seeing more of it - it would be appreciated.

Tony

And we are off...see everyone in Cali!

Posted by: tygaboy May 26 2017, 12:27 PM

Safe travels, my friend! See you soon!

Posted by: Dtjaden May 26 2017, 01:57 PM

You have a few choices:
Shortest - us395 to ca89 to ca88 to i5 to i580 - 7+ hours
Easier - us385 in Gardnerville, NV cut over to ca88 to ca89 to us50 to i5 to i580 - 6 1/2+ hours
Easiest- us395 to i80 to i680 - 7+ hours

Since I am flat towing my car I will be taking the Easier route above to Mammoth. Undecided about the drive back on Tuesday.

Posted by: green914 May 26 2017, 05:20 PM

South is okay with me, but for the folks driving from far away that may never have been to Tahoe we should go north.

Posted by: dgrooover May 26 2017, 05:26 PM

We are staying at the Mammoth Lakes RV Park.......full hookups. Flat Towing from LA.....Cant Wait

Posted by: jim_hoyland May 26 2017, 05:38 PM

Are you driving up Thursday ?

Posted by: Steve May 26 2017, 05:49 PM

I plan on driving up Thursday pending the outcome of my doctors appointment this Tuesday. I might have to cancel and not go at all.

Posted by: Steve May 26 2017, 05:51 PM

I agree... people who have never been to Tahoe should have a higher vote.

You live in Sacramento... Go East

Posted by: Andyrew May 27 2017, 08:50 AM

Heres my plan. Open for interpretation. I spoke to the park rangers to get the skinny on the road conditions and Devilspostpile is closed as well as the small lakes in mammoth beyond Twin Lakes. So this is what they reccomended. NOTE: Ancient Bristlecone is at 10k feet, there is no snow on the road beyond where were going, but carb cars will probably have an issue. I have 5 seats in my Fiesta and I can comfortably take an extra 2 people for a ride they are not likely to forget.

Friday: Drive to Ancient Bristlecone. We leave around 9:30ish Get there around 11:30-noon and have a picnic lunch (Provided). Spend about an hour or so there taking in the area, sights, maybe the road some more and head back. Afternoon is spent in the hotel lot with maybe some games and chit chat, then everyone breaks for dinner (Or you can join me at probably the Mammoth Brewing Company.)

Fun zones




Saturday: Morning is show and shine, everyone grabs a early lunch and we head out around noon-12:30. We'll take some group photos on Brenton Crossing road as there is a cascade of mountains all around us on that road. Drive through the hotsprings and the pine forest to Mono lake where we will take a break to soak in the sites, then for those that need to the Chevron in Lee Vining for gas and a drive through June Lake loop on our way back to the hotel. Everyone takes a little break then the awards dinner (Provided) in the hotel.

Posted by: piscean914 May 27 2017, 08:58 AM

looks great! thanks for taking the time and effort to put all of this together!

Posted by: tygaboy May 27 2017, 09:07 AM

I have at least 2 extra spots, if anyone is looking for a ride.
Larry, my co-pilot is the guy bringing the drone so count us in for any/all photo ops!

Posted by: Mike Bellis May 27 2017, 09:26 AM

Great routes Andyrew!

Sometimes the June lake loop is closed on the North end. If so we can go down and back from the South entrance.

Not sure about the other roads but I will try to verify.

Posted by: Andyrew May 27 2017, 09:26 AM

I just did an Arial flight (google earth) of the Bristlecone drive.. *Goosebumps*

Posted by: Andyrew May 27 2017, 09:40 AM

Ninja edit! Durring my flyover of the Mono lake drive I noticed that Owens River Road turns into dirt halfway through... So thats why the ranger didnt mention it... Revised! Shorter drive now. More room for activities!!

Having longstanding issues. I havent been able to fix a warm start issue for a solid 6 months. It will crank and crank, but not fire. Every time I replace the crank position sensor it works fine once then the next day no. All started when I was trying to optimize my cooling system. Not only that my steering system is fubbarded (U joints binding) and my brakes lock up the right front.

Besides I have a shit ton of stuff im brining. The back of the fiesta will be fuuuuull.

We can go for a ride in the Fiesta, I promise you it will not dissapoint

Slight confusion on the parking arrangement, They thought we wanted just some spots reserved, which I clarified we wanted the whole area. We might be taking the back lot. Should have plenty of space for us.


I'll let everyone know, but they made up some signs for us so it'll be clear.

Posted by: jim_hoyland May 31 2017, 11:43 AM

Is the parking area under pine Trees ? Or open to the sky ?

Only dirt road I saw was about 1/4 of a mile to get to the front of Mono lake. Now bumpy road I cant comment on. I bet we will get a few bumpy roads and maybe even the first park road drive is bumpy and we have to slow our pace.

If anything gets bad then well turn around and have an adventure

hi - my 914 died here in reno (i drove from seattle) - i think that the cylinder head sensor failed - my wife and i are going to rent a car, and have AAA tow the 914 to the event, in hopes that someone will be able to help out (and help us avoid a tow back to seattle) - if there are any mechanic types, guys with parts, etc., that could help out, it would be most appreciated!!! - my cell is 206 xxx xxxx - we should be at the hotel by 5pm - the 914 may be there tonight or tomorrow - glad it failed here in civilization!!!

thanks, brad from seattle

Just seeing this now. EBS In Reno might have your part. Ask for Don Weaver but John would know too.

Nice lodge

Posted by: piscean914 Jun 1 2017, 11:29 PM

hey guys - BIG THANKS to jerry, valley wagen of carson city, the guys who called and posted, and my wife for helping out BIG TIME to get my 914 fixed (i think/hope) - valley changed out the sensor with one they had from a pulled working engine - the car ran fine all the way up here - we got in around 8:30 pm - my wife has the rental chase car, just in case - hopefully that's the end of the problem - had a great meal at the bar/grill in the lodge - i heard that gas is in town about 4 miles away - now i need a spare cht sensor and notched socket for my spare parts kit!!! - that's it for now - see you at 9:14 am or earlier!!! thanks again, brad

This really looks like a good one. Good turn out at a great location. So sorry I couldn't make it but I'm stuck here in Barcelona. Oh well, at least I got to swim in the Med. yesterday.

Cheers. Elliot

Jerry that looks damn good, hope you have a great time at the rally.

Posted by: ConeDodger Jun 2 2017, 08:06 AM

So sorry Elliot. it's such a shame you had to go to Spain. Nothing to see, nothing to do...

Posted by: Justinp71 Jun 2 2017, 09:29 AM

Wow! Looks like a blast guys! Hopefully I can make the next one.

I went skiing today instead of the drive. I will do the next drive tomorrow.

Posted by: sb914 Jun 2 2017, 04:12 PM

Are you doing a back flip?

Posted by: Steve Jun 2 2017, 05:49 PM

I was trying to mimic the snow boarders doing flips

Posted by: 914-300Hemi Jun 2 2017, 07:21 PM

That is a great plan. Now I'm really sad that I'm not there.

Posted by: michael7810 Jun 4 2017, 09:04 PM

I made it back to Phoenix. Took 12 hours, 115 lbs of ice and 123 lbs of fuel. The B-Kool uses a lot of ice but at least 250 miles of my drive were 105+F and I was very comfortable. Many thanks to Andy and his helpers for hosting this outstanding event. Plus a thumbs up to 914Rubber Tangerine Racing PMB sierra Madre and all the other World vendors who donated goodies and support. Chris set the friggin bar higher than anyone can ever exceed with his generous and way cool metal work trophies and awards. It was great seeing old friends and making new ones.
Finally thanks to Sir Andy for starting the best online community.
Mike
Ps if Kent offers to sell you a 914Rubber dash please PM me...

Hope everyone had a fun, and safe home.
We had a great time and would like to thank Andrew, and his helpers for putting together a fun event.
Big thanks to all the venders/sponsors for the really neat prizes they donate to the fun.
Wow Chris! Great work
Great to see everyone, and hope to see everyone again next year.

Too funny. I won't sell of your dash top. It is safe in my storage. On the way home a guy towing a 356 passed me towing my 914. That might be the only 356 that ever passed a 914. It was great seeing old friends and making new ones. Hats off to all that made this event possible. There was "a Lot of Work" and planning that went into this event and it showed.

Posted by: michael7810 Jun 5 2017, 10:27 AM

Kudos to you's Andyrews. It took a lot of work to coordinate this thing, and it sure looks like an epic success.

Posted by: second wind Jun 8 2017, 05:20 PM

Thank you Andyrew!!! I think YOU were the most amazing group leader and organizer. You looked out after all of us like a summer camp leader and it was a really safe feeling and environment that you provided. Of course thanks to all of the people you mentioned.....have fun with the new baby!!

thanks very much to all - we made it back to seattle on monday - no problem - again, a big thanks to everyone, especially ANDREW, the organizers, sponsors, amazing metal dude, JERRY FOR HELPING ME OUT BIG TIME, etc - we had a great time - the location was fantastic, great amenities, laid back, etc. - the geography was daunting, to say the least, but driving these old porsche's at high altitude, in the middle of nowhere, is what it's all about!!! PLEASE POST PHOTOS - thanks again - hope to see you next year!!! brad in seattle
