The 2019 WCR will be held in the San Gabriel Valley east of LA!

Official Event Sponsors: 914 Rubber, 914 Werke, Driven Racing Oil, PMB Performance, Sierra Madre & Stoddard

We have planned a fun filled weekend with some great events and spectacular drives including a Friday morning run through Angeles Crest Hwy (Route 2) to Newcomb’s Ranch and Glendora Mountain Rd. on Saturday. Sunday morning will have us Parade into “Super Car Sunday” before another amazing drive through the canyons of Malibu down to Pacific Coast Highway. Google Map links will be provided in future posts along with a full weekend schedule.





As in the past, there will be official T-Shirts, Swag Bags and the Awards Banquet. Dedicated overnight security will also be arranged for our cars.

Our host hotel is the Marriott Courtyard Monrovia located on Historic Route 66 and we have secured 30 rooms to start at a group rate of $139.00 for the three nights of June 6-8, 2019 inclusive.

You will need to PM me with your email address and number of attendees and I will send the booking instructions directly to you in order to secure the group rate.

Please note that should rooms book quickly; additional rooms will be made available. Conversely, if the bookings come slowly, the amount of available rooms will be adjusted downwards. If you are undecided, just go ahead and make a reservation. Better to have too many rooms than find out closer to the event that they are sold out.





Keep checking this thread for continued updates and we are looking forward to hosting you for what is sure to be a great event!

I appreciate that, but it looks like Andy and I will be shacking up. He’s trying to convince me that all we need is a twin bed, but I’m a little suspicious. The last time he suggested a get away, he didn’t take his morning after pill. I’ll bring extra just in case. Thanks!

Hey Dave. Is that the Mom who is also your sister, or the one that has most of her own teeth? It’s hard to keep up with you mouth breathin’, Walmart shoppin’, toothless carneys.

Yes!

Posted by: 914_teener Feb 21 2019, 12:34 PM

Jeff is right, Burbank is closer but Ontario might be easier and cheaper.

Burbank has less options from SETAC, plus the traffic on the 210 through Pasadena is a nightmare most rush hours.

The drives Jeff has planned are epic though.

Hope you can make it Kevin.

Posted by: rhodyguy Feb 21 2019, 12:39 PM

I took a look. Alaska would be my preferred carrier. 5+ stinking hours with a change in SJ. I'll check out Ontario. I flew in there 2 years ago. Nonstop. I don't care for southwest.

Posted by: StratPlayer Feb 21 2019, 04:14 PM

Kevin if you make it you get to drive my car.

Posted by: Coondog Feb 21 2019, 07:43 PM

Ontario is a great airport but there rates from Sea-Tac and back are $$$$$
Your going to hit traffic so pick your poison. Best rates will be LAX and it’s pretty close.

The last "scenic drive" we did to socal was for the 05 WCR. Epic trip with 3 teeners in the tow of a Audi S6 driven buy four lads who had driven down from Saskatchewan!! through the PNW.

Posted by: rhodyguy Feb 22 2019, 03:19 PM

Fun days. A seven day weekend. That high desert/inland empire run is a long haul in a 914. Flying is WAY cheaper. We'll see.

I’m looking for some rides. Going to fly in and rent a car. Julie will be with me too so we’ll either have two of us hitching or following the pack in a rental. After driving a F350 to the last tour most anything I get from rental will be sporty. Turk has some caymans, but I’m not sure if they are worth the $.

We are looking at a departure from Panera to Newcomb's on Friday between 8:20am-8:30am.

Saturday's departure will be at 9:14am in keeping with tradition.

Sunday is early at 7:00am, however for those that would not like to Parade in to Super Car Sunday can straggle in later for the departure to the Beach Run.

Once everything is confirmed, an event schedule will be emailed to all participants. A final itinerary will not be posted publicly to this thread. For those that have not PM'd me an email address, please do so do be included on the distribution list.

Thank you.

More details to follow.

I'll make it official. And yes, I even plan to wash my (wifes) car.

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=15093 If she never drives it, is it still technically considered her car?

Regardless, happy to have you on board for the event.

RSVP Count is now up to 70 people with 48 cars and counting!

Nice first post JB.
Welcome to our dysfunctional family.



Show and tell time.
Let's see the car.

Posted by: jbcottrell Feb 27 2019, 07:24 PM

Thanks guys! I look forward to hanging out with a nice, dysfunctional bunch of mid-engined misfits like myself!


And yes Jeffrey, I have explained that to my lovely wife. If you haven't driven that car in over 4 years, I have the right to resurrect it, and enjoy it. It's not fair to the little car. I even threatened to put a 6 in it! Luckily I have a plan B for that!

Mustn’t be rude and not include a picture. She’s a ‘72 1.7. Basically stock, just Konis, 140lb Springs, Weltmiester front bar (needs a rear bar) and a Bursch muffler.

Posted by: Rand Feb 28 2019, 10:32 AM

She looks great. Nice bumpers and wheels. Pedrinis are valuable.

And btw, you don't need a rear bar.

Posted by: Coondog Feb 28 2019, 12:20 PM

Sweet ride, us white 914s got to stick together. Go to the Phoenix club event this Sunday, meet some fellow teeners and score some parts.

Posted by: jbcottrell Mar 1 2019, 11:39 AM

It just feels like the rear of the car needs more steer. Maybe I need to stiffen up the shocks a little. Might lower the rear just a touch too.


Not sure if I can make the Phoenix Club this time but I'll be at the Automotive Driving Museum on the 16th.

Ramble On
Led Zeppelin

Leaves are falling all around
It's time I was on my way
Thanks to you I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it's headed my way
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired
But I know I've got one thing I got to do
Ramble on
And now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl
On my way
I've been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams......

Songwriters: Jimmy Page / Robert Plant

Prefer to email the full weekend itinerary so please PM me your email to be included. What I can tell you is Super Car Sunday is 7:00am-10:00am and we will arrive at Pierce sometime between 7:30am-7:45am so everyone can get their beauty sleep.

Alternate route for Friday Morning Run as the Cal Trans will require another two months in which to fix the road.

Posted by: ndfrigi Mar 29 2019, 06:10 PM

Jeffery, I went there with my wife and church members the other weekend to check our church camp site (Angeles Crest Christian Camp). the detour was a lot of miles to get back to Hiway 2. I noticed several porsches and bikes drove up there and hanged out at one of the place up there.
A nice clean road for a good drive for our 914s.

Posted by: narino Mar 29 2019, 06:31 PM

Just saw this! I'm in! I won't need a room as I live in the area.

Now I just need to get the car running...

Posted by: 914_7T3 Mar 29 2019, 07:06 PM

The entire drive is only 36 miles and 53 minutes from the start point. This route offers something for everyone as the 4 Bangers are going to love the twistys and the Big Motor Conversion cars can really "open Up" especially on the Sweeps on Upper Big Tujunga Rd.

Posted by: ndfrigi Mar 29 2019, 07:11 PM

the only thing u need is to avoid those bicyclist. There is a lot of them when we went there saturday morning.

Posted by: Andyrew Mar 29 2019, 10:31 PM

Hey, some of us 4 bangers love to open up on the sweepers as well

Looks like a blast. Should be a great time.

Posted by: 914_7T3 Mar 29 2019, 11:18 PM

We certainly can, however it'll take a few seconds extra to get there.

Posted by: jcd914 Apr 1 2019, 12:53 AM

I like the 914 50 design, especially the shadowed 914.
I don't quite get the California piece on the front without any 914 with it but that is minor.

Thanks to everyone that is putting in time and effort to make this an epic event!

Not much today but in the last few weeks I replaced the transmission tail housing, install a clutch and pressure plate, cleaned & lubed a very dry but smooth throw out bearing, bolted the engine and transmission bolted together and finished the wiring to the fuel pump.
So if my daughter wasn't visiting this weekend I might install the engine but I'll get some stuff done this week and on the weekend even with her visit.

Just some ancillary info for those that come with others who don't want to drive or don't have cars from out of state.

There is a Gold Line Train station nearby where if you want to do a bar crawl in Pasadena and not deal with the traffic it is a cool deal. Cost about a $1.75 from that station to Pasadena.

I know this is a car thing but it is an option for significant others that don't have rides or want to do something else and not deal with parking or traffic later in the day during the week.

Posted by: drem914 Apr 2 2019, 02:25 PM

Booked for Fri. and Sat. night. Driving up Friday morning, locally.

No best "non 914" category"

Posted by: kconway Apr 3 2019, 07:07 AM

If anyone is venturing out on Friday, old town Monrovia has a weekly street fair. Myrtle ave closed and parking is real tough. You can get a Lyft ride from hotel to old town for a buck by adding code GOMONROVIA in the app.

Lots of bars on Myrtle and some decent food, restaurant row is next door to your hotel on Huntington. There is a dive bar that has an awesome “house band” Pat O’brian and The Priests of Love (YouTube it) every weekend a few blocks east on Huntington called First Cabin for anyone needing some music while not talking cars.

Wish I still had a car I’d be all over this.

The hiccup was you booked me as a King, around Teeners I identify as a Queen (2 beds)

Couldn't get the room choice to switch under the discount. Also as of tonight the block is sold out.

Posted by: 914_7T3 Apr 10 2019, 10:51 AM

Yes, currently sold out as anticipated.

Working on getting more rooms added under both room configurations. Stand By!

Posted by: 914_7T3 Apr 10 2019, 05:56 PM

Ten additional rooms have been added to the block with two of those being a two bed configuration. It is doubtful that we will be able to secure additional rooms once these are booked.

If you plan on attending WCR, and still require a room please PM me your email address and I will forward you the online link for booking.

Thank you.

Posted by: Larmo63 Apr 22 2019, 12:03 AM

I stopped and met Jaimie to pick up the shirts, drove them up to Mammoth, and STILL didn't end up with one.

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 22 2019, 07:04 AM

That's because they ordered you a Speedo instead. I believe it might still be there in the Hotel's "lost and found" depot.

Best Survivor

People's Choice

Lawrence,

Didnt I ship you yours (Larges were "back ordered" day of)? I have that down in my notes. Also I am pretty sure I have a spare large I can bring down if it never made it to you.

Also again BIG thanks for picking up and dropping off the shirts, Its a shame you had an emergency and had to run back home..

Posted by: drem914 Apr 22 2019, 12:15 PM

What is the status of the t-shirt order thread?

Posted by: SirAndy Apr 22 2019, 12:16 PM

Hotel booked, no turning back now, y'all will have to endure my company ...

Posted by: Chris914n6 Apr 22 2019, 12:36 PM

I'm going to propose a participation award... just in case my real 914 decides to participate for once

Posted by: Carl La Fong Apr 22 2019, 06:40 PM

Don't bother coming without Amoy.

Posted by: Blue6 Apr 22 2019, 07:50 PM

Carl, I’m surprised as a FNG you have already met Amoy...you must be local.

Posted by: Andyrew Apr 22 2019, 08:25 PM

Pretty sure he's Elliot

How many @tags can you do in one post ?

Posted by: ValcoOscar Apr 23 2019, 08:30 AM

Good question Eddy...WOW...didn't think we would hit so many WCR participants this year, much less 50 cars.

If just some of these locals decide to join (even for a day) we can possibly hit over 75 cars.

We may need to file a traffic plan.

How are you counting cars?
I plan to try to bring my 914 but I don't recall being asked or providing that info, of course maybe I did provide that info and just don't remember.
I still have a lot of work to but it is actually withing the realm of possibilities, unlike any past WCR I've been to. And I'll be there 914 or not.

At any rate, it looks like the turn out is going to be great, probably the largest I've been to.
Thanks for all the work and effort.
Jim

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=8684

Go back to Post #2 on Page #1 of this thread for an updated attendee list. I believe 5 of the cars in the total are not 914s:

2 986s
1 Cayman
1 964
1 968

Posted by: jcd914 Apr 23 2019, 03:43 PM

I have read the list of attendees but I was wondering how you know if they are bringing a 914 or their Camry. Jetta, Ford or what ever?
Unless I am misunderstanding it, the list is just world members coming and number of additional people they are bringing.
If I get my 914 far enough along I will be bring it but if not I will probably be in my Jetta TDI.
I know from past WRC's that some people choose not to drive their 914 for a variety of reasons, too far, bring wife and kids, don't trust LA traffic, etc... and drive another vehicle.
I only asked because I did not recall indicating anywhere that I was bringing a 914 or not and I had not seen a listing of those bring 914's as compared to those just coming to be part of the event.

It is not a big deal, this event is on track to be big, more entrants than I recall from any past WCR's which means more 914's.

Thanks
Jim

I'm in my 987 CS. Sold the 914 as Carl has noted. I'm looking for another. The disease continues.

Posted by: infraredcalvin Apr 23 2019, 06:04 PM

Sorry no can do right now... 914 is down, and have too many kiddo commitments.

Posted by: 914 RZ-1 Apr 23 2019, 08:33 PM

Can I suggest some more:
Best 914 POS. This is for the car that is "under construction" and the owner is really trying hard, but the car still looks like crap. Oh, and, it will be nice, just not yet! I won this, and thought it was awesome! I can tell people I have an award-winning car!

Best/Most Original/Worst/Coolest/etc Mods: not everyone has a beautiful stock, original car. How 'bout showing some love to those who have made some special modifications themselves?

Most Potential: a variation on the Best POS award.

I thought it would be nice to show some love to the folks who bring cars that are still a little rough and need some work. Maybe they are saving money, maybe they are doing the work themselves and are learning and making mistakes. Whatever the case, I'd like to propose we recognize their hard work and potential.

Posted by: cuddy_k Apr 23 2019, 08:36 PM

I’m officially in. booked the shipper and my ‘74 is headed back to its Cali roots. Gonna keep it out west for the summer...just got the official word that there will be at least one 914 in the Quail this year

On another matter. I'm looking for a co-pilot to ride shotgun for the drives. Either one for the whole event or different people different days. I'm driving a COTM 914 (i think) so this is a very prestigious opportunity. First come, first served. Signup below:

UPDATED INFO

First of all, thanks to everyone for their patience as we get closer to the WCR!

Presently @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=10742 is working on a PayPal invoicing system for registrants . We have everyone's email address save for a few and will be requesting T-Shirt Orders and banquet registrations over email.

With this information, a PayPal invoice will be issued to each registrant for easy payment. Registrants will also receive a detailed event schedule over email.

We are mixing it up and will have our awards banquest as a lunch on Saturday in Old Town Monrovia after our drive. This will allow for more locals to participate that have chosen not to secure a hotel reservation.

We are looking forward to a great weekend and keep an eye out for these emails in the coming days. Thank you

If there any Locals that would like to Lead or Sweep for our WCR drives please let me know. We may run in several smaller groups of 12-16 so there is room for everyone to participate.

We can even organize a few scouting runs. Thanks in advance!




I'll be running the Outlaw 986 for WCR weekend!

Posted by: 914_teener May 9 2019, 08:55 AM

I.m in lemme know Jeff.

I can do either. Friday is wide open I have the day off. I can take the 987......Lapis Blue of course.

Posted by: 76-914 May 9 2019, 09:34 AM

It would be insane not break into smaller groups with "non 914's" in the final group to assist the broken down 914's.

Posted by: 914_teener May 9 2019, 10:43 AM

914+73S= 987S

There it's a 914.

At least it has a Porsche motor in it

Posted by: Andyrew May 9 2019, 11:37 AM

More than happy to be a sweep, (Im drive chair for my local PCA group) But I'll need a passenger since I am not familiar with the roads. I have a couple radios somewhere as well.

Posted by: 914_7T3 May 9 2019, 11:41 AM

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=9489 Thank you, You're confirmed as a sweep starting on Friday Morning. I will follow up with you as we get closer!

Posted by: 914_7T3 May 9 2019, 11:44 AM

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=172 Great, I'll take you up on the offer. The routes are pretty easy except for Saturday. I have a plan for two leads on Saturday with one staying at the fork in the road to direct the cars and then follow-in behind the sweep so no one gets lost.

Posted by: 914_teener May 9 2019, 03:36 PM

10-4

I'll also have an open seat as well.

Posted by: drem914 May 9 2019, 03:37 PM

Have the departure times been established yet for each day for those of us not staying at the hotel?

Posted by: StratPlayer May 9 2019, 03:41 PM

Wife decided not to go, so I will have an empty seat.

Posted by: 914_7T3 May 9 2019, 11:03 PM

Yes, event schedules will be sent out next week via email.

I thought we were getting an email - PayPal invoice for banquet, etc....?

I got an email but no invoice. I figured it’s in the works.

Posted by: 914-300Hemi May 10 2019, 07:25 AM

I would be glad to help also. I have 2 radios as well.

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=10742 has got to manually generate each one and this takes time. He has also got a real job, not a fake job as a lifeguard at a Car Wash!

Posted by: SirAndy May 10 2019, 09:46 PM

Just make sure you have printed directions for each run, including printed maps.

Someone *will* get lost trying to follow the herd (I'm looking at you, traffic lights) and it *will* happen in an area without cell coverage.

Ask me how i know ...

Posted by: 914_teener May 10 2019, 10:32 PM

Checked the County website.
GMR due to open 5-31.

Posted by: rhodyguy May 11 2019, 08:54 AM

Don't forget simple detailed drive directions. Not page after page from google maps. If not, one falls behind the pack, and you're driving solo as a stranger in a strange land. A 'sweeper' is crucial. If you're in a loaned car the thought of stacking it up puts you behind the pack.

Heading out next Sunday to scout some alternate routes just in case. One thought is the 60 mile round trip up San Gabriel Canyon to the Lookout & back.

No chance of the last 4.4 miles up to ACH re-opening any time soon as its been closed since 1978!

Posted by: phatnine11 May 11 2019, 06:36 PM

It looks like I should be able to make it on both Friday and Saturday. looking forward to seeing a few friends!

Can someone please change my status to +3?

My son in law and a friend are coming down with us (sadly, they're not in a 914).

The kids are into cars though, which is why i'm bringing them with us.

Posted by: 914_7T3 May 12 2019, 06:19 PM

Done

Posted by: sb914 May 13 2019, 09:00 AM

Anyone bringing a drone? It would be nice to get some drone footage
Of 70 cars plus !

I may be able to make that happen.

Can I come Friday only and shirt size is 2x my 914 is finally back on the road after 15ish years

Posted by: 914_7T3 May 14 2019, 11:06 AM

The detour is still in place on Angeles Crest at the moment, you may want to keep an eye on that.

Dang this is in my backyard, too bad the 914 still doesn't run. Might join ya guys in my 87' Toyota FX16. Haven't been around the 914 crowd in a while.

No need, there is an easy detour off CA2 to Angeles Forest Highway to Upper Big Tujunga back to CA 2. We are good either way.

Posted by: Chi-town May 14 2019, 08:44 PM

Correct but people from out of town may not be familiar

Hiya -

Maybe I missed it, but what exactly is the schedule?

Other than the banquet at 12:30 on Saturday, when are the drives scheduled to start and are there any other "events" (car show?)?

As a semi-local (San Diego), I'm trying to figure out if when I need a hotel room or not.

Just come for drives if anything.

Posted by: siverson May 16 2019, 05:24 PM

Great, thanks for the info. I'll be there for at least Friday and Saturday. Vrooom!

-Steve

Posted by: 914_7T3 May 16 2019, 05:46 PM

Friday is good for locals that can get away on a Friday and optional for out of towners. Newcomb's Ranch opens at 9:00am specifically for the local Porsche community. It's a great drive and will allow interested parties to experience the local So Cal Porsche culture! Thus the participation in Super Car Sunday as well!

Experience as much or as little of it as you like.

Posted by: db9146 May 16 2019, 08:42 PM

I won't be able to make it to WCR but I'd like a shirt!!

Anyone interested in a trade of a new, never worn 2018 Okteenerfest event short sleeve t-shirt?

XL for XL?

Let me know.

Posted by: campbellcj May 17 2019, 05:46 AM

Hey All,

Sorry for lagging - I'm also semi-local and planning/hoping to join some of the festivities, but don't need a hotel. My 914 may be out of action, not sure, but I should be able to make the Sat lunch and Supercar Sunday portion.

Can I please get on the list as a partial/maybe attendee?

Thanks

Posted by: 914_7T3 May 17 2019, 10:59 AM

Moved this over from the Registration Thread! This tech session from @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=1319 is sure to be a highlight of the event.............along with everything else!!!

That's our new route for Saturday. Not going to mess with possible closures on GMR or E Fork Rd.

Going to drive up to the lookout for an Epic photo shoot and drone footage. Awesome road and no one gets lost! One way up & One way down!

Posted by: cuddy_k May 18 2019, 07:00 PM

looks awesome. I assume it isn't straight up like it looks on the map . Check out the virtual drive...

Posted by: 914_teener May 18 2019, 07:23 PM

Good call Jeff. Lots to see there and plenty of big pull off areas. Maybe a small group up GMR....but I doubt it will be open.

Posted by: 914_7T3 May 18 2019, 09:57 PM

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=18749 Straight as an arrow and pretty flat as well as we climb to over 5,000 ft. as per the top portion of the route on Google Earth.





Here is some background info on this route.

Located in the San Gabriel Mountains of California, in USA, a northerly portion of Highway 39, also known as San Gabriel Canyon Road, has been closed since 1978. The estimated cost to repair the highway is $100 million

The road is closed indefinitely to automobile traffic because of persistent landslides along its route. Route 39 is one of the more varied state highways in the Los Angeles area but portions of the road are partially covered in dirt or badly eroded. It’s passable by foot or bike, as major sections are completely washed out down the west side of Mount Islip into the canyon below. The zone seasonally receives extreme snow levels, avalanches, and rock slides. The road is asphalted, and pretty steep, with a 7% grade average. The local geology and slope instability continue to impede necessary water flow, and cause extreme flooding of the roadway at times. The last 4.4 miles of SR-39 that intersects with SR-2 (the Angeles Crest Highway) at Islip Saddle, and the biggest problem area, reaches an elevation of 6,500 feet at the highway’s highest point; it has been closed since 1978 due to a major rock slide.

Saw you guys heading down as I was heading up ... on two wheels


The cafe/store at Crystal Lake was open and makes a great place to hang out, checking out bikes n stuff


No P-cars, but there was a group of very nice old Datsun's

Obviously, he meant to say 9:14am Andy.

Posted by: 914_7T3 May 19 2019, 10:44 AM

Those guys, I saw. We should be able to work that into the schedule on the way down. Plenty of time!

Posted by: 914_7T3 May 19 2019, 10:46 AM

Nope, I'll set up a wake-up call for you guys at 0 dark thirty! Just ping me your room numbers!

Posted by: 76-914 May 20 2019, 10:25 AM

I remember those. I had a blue Datsun 2000 in 1969.
This is shaping up to be a great reunion so I wanted to make this gentle suggestion. Don't be "that guy" that holds everyone else up because they failed to fill up the night before; needs some air in their tire, etc. There will be enough "naturally occurring 914 problems" to repair in the parking lot. Being somewhat local, I didn't get a room for Thursday. With Friday AM traffic being as it is I'd better leave Temecula by 5:30am so we don't hold anyone up.

Posted by: rhodyguy May 20 2019, 10:41 AM

Is 5:30 early enough?

Posted by: 76-914 May 20 2019, 11:51 AM

My wife will be nuclear @ that time of the morning. Don't want to tip the canoe.

Posted by: 914_7T3 May 20 2019, 02:27 PM

There is a Shell Station directly across the street from the hotel as well as the commercial center that houses the Panera so no lame excuses like, "Hey, can we find a Shell Station as my car only runs on V-Power fuel?"

Posted by: Andyrew May 20 2019, 02:51 PM
