I'm in. Hotel reserved. Registration submitted. Minor stuff to do on the car, but nothing that would prevent me from driving there today - mostly cosmetic.
It looks like it's gonna be great fun! How much are the track fees for the auto-cross?

Travis,
I'm 99.9% I'm trailoring my car so if you need to catch a ride up there, let me know. Other wise, lets get a good caravan going.

All of the details are http://www.914world.com/events/rrc2005/rrc2005.php
The registration fee is only $70. That includes all your meals for the 3 days (except lunch on Friday and Sunday). You also get 1 raffle ticket ($10 value) for valuable 914 prizes, awards for the Rise and Shine Car Show, maps so you don't get lost on the tours, and more.
About your only other expense will be the hotel room. Be sure to book yours now. The rooms at The Aarchway Inn are blocked off until August 25th. After that there are no guarantees. Expect the town to sell out for the weekend.
NOTE: If you are paying your registration fees by Paypal - credit cards are not accepted. You either need to transfer the funds from your bank account or send a check to Brant. All of the details are in the link at the top of this thread.

Uh, John, you missed the important part of my post, I was asking how much beer! 
Ferg
Posted by: Toast Jul 19 2005, 10:16 AM
Utah has 3.2% beer, and you cannot by liquor on Sudays! 
Now, us Califonians have at least 5% beer.
Seems like I should bring my own "contraband" with me. 
I'm glad im not on the "you better come or else" list.
I'll pay for registration as soon as I get paid next.
Already have the hotel room!
Posted by: RonD Jul 19 2005, 12:24 PM
Just registered. Cars ready as it's going to get for now. But work is pressing so hope I can be there.

I'm receiving them right and left...
I'll update the list on page one.
also... pelican is going to pitch in some door prizes as a sponsor.

Posted by: TurtleGirl Jul 19 2005, 03:58 PM
OK John & Brant....
Right now chances are slim to none that I can make it. If I can, is there a possibility to do a last minute registration? I have 2 beer fests, a balloon rally in White Sands, Nico's Birthday, our first anniversary, Porter's in school, and the list goes on and on. September sux!!! 
I'm making an honest effort, but I probably won't know until the weekend before. Let me know if I can do a last minute thing! (If Joe can't make it, I might be able to talk Nico into letting me run up with Luckie... then again, it's never good to leave the 2 of us unchaperoned!!! 
Posted by: brant Jul 19 2005, 04:06 PM
Liz,
The end of the road deadline is going to be when we give final numbers to the cooks for the food....
probably about 10-14 days before the event.
but I think we can keep you on the maybe list. I think they will be a little flexible with us, and I would be happy to assist with that as late as possible.
we will work it out
how about you and I chat as things get closser.

As soon as one of them registers for the event, they can nail it if they want to.
Until then, tell 'em to keep their grimey mitts off my thread.

biggest reason to want to go and only have a AX car,way too stiff of a ride!
But go figure, I wanna Mountain bike!!
All this beer talk is slowly swaying me into GOING!
My plan is to drive the truck,so I can bring other peoples Mtn bikes as well as mine!
Posted by: ThinAir914 Jul 24 2005, 09:33 PM
Well I missed the part about not accepting credit card PayPal payments (did that get added later?) So Brant has to refuse my payment and I have to send him a check. I don't mind sending him a check, but I'm sorry to have caused him extra work.
So if you're not registered yet - what's taking you so long? 
Posted by: brant Jul 25 2005, 09:52 AM
Ernie,
no problem.
sorry for the inconvienience on your end!
we just did that to save a few bucks of paypal fee's so as to not have to add that into the registration cost....
KEVIN, you had better go..
truck or car you had better go!
I think I may be taking the van, so I should be able to help with bike hauling if that happens

I am personally donating a 6-pack to anyone who registers and pays between now and 08/01.
valid payapl receipt required for redemption. not available to employees of the RRC, or their family members. one six pack per vehicle.

Alright...I worked through the "you can't use a credit card to pay" issue and I'm paid and ready to go.

So we have 13 entrants. How many total do we have fo a total count? How close are we to 40 entrants?
Posted by: VegasRacer Jul 27 2005, 10:54 AM
Those 13 registrations represent a total of 24 people, including frineds and family, who will be at the Red Rocks Classic. There is still plenty of room for more. Keep those cards and letters comming in.
Posted by: Headrage Jul 27 2005, 11:13 AM
This may have already been asked but I'm too lazy to read the whole thread. It's $70.00 per person so if I bring my wife and daughter it will be $210.00?
Posted by: BMartin914 Jul 27 2005, 11:20 AM
Yes. $70.00 per person. But that includes 2 complete dinners (no alcohol included) and lunch on Saturday. Plus your registration packet. So in all actuality it is a steal.
So please come, and bring the wife and daughter.

She's only 10. I'm talking to the wife about it now. What kind of amenities and/or activities will there be for spouses/kids????
REAL IMPORTANT. I can't talk her into going if I tell her that she and my daughter will be sitting around for 2 days waiting on me to finish having fun.

Posted by: Headrage Jul 27 2005, 11:41 AM
Is there any way to get an idea on how many spouses and kids will be there. I think it would beneficial to all if something could be put together for them. Even something as simple as having all the kids and spouses meet at a certain time just to get to know each other. My daughter is usually cool as long as she has someone to hang out with. The wife is pretty much the same way.

I'm in the same boat as you, wife is on the fence about going... we have a 8 month old, so some outdoor activities will be limited for her. (no long hikes, bike rides ect)
She "may" come but right now it does not look good.

Posted by: BMartin914 Jul 27 2005, 12:25 PM
My girlfriend is coming, but will be riding with me on all of the drives. We do have the hike going on on Saturday which can/will be a family event.
I realize that you may run into problems only having 2 seats, but the scenery is awesome even if you're not in a teener.
Posted by: VegasRacer Jul 27 2005, 02:09 PM
I just got a call from the Aarchway Inn. They were checking to confirm that our group was comming. They said only 3 of us have reserved a room so far: ThinAir, BMartin and VegasRacer.
When you call to book your room be sure to tell them you are with The Porsche Club. That is the only way we will get all of our rooms together and you will get the discount rate. If you have reserved a room it would be a good idea to call them back and tell them you are with our Club so you are on the right list.
You MUST call before August 25th to be sure you will get a room.
After that you are on your own.

Alright, I checked and I am good to go. They didn't have me as part of the Porsche group. That might be a good thing....no "guilt by association"!
What is this hike all about? How long? Easy? Difficult? Should I bring my climbing gear? Flare gun? Or should I just bring my usual six-pack and call it good?

Ok, I had Linda Horne send my registration dues to Brant with hers and Joe Sharp's. Linda and Joe's name are now on the "registered" list, but mine is not. Was there a problem?
Also, Tiffany at the Archway Inn said that our room was INDEED CONFIRMED under "the porsche club". So I'm thinking that someone at the Inn is not imputing the Porsche reservations correctly.

I just am struggling with the confusion between screen names and real names.
I think Linda's registration indicated 3 people, but didn't name who those 3 were

Update:
so its nearly august people.
sure would love to add a few more names to the list.
the entry fee is really all going to food, so if you want to bring a child (12 and under) and buy their child's meal seperate you won't have to pay the entry fee for them

By my count there are a grand total of 24 registered so far.
13 Club members and 11 guest. AZ=5, CA=3, CO=9, NM=4, NV=1, UT=2.
I do not know how many of them have actually paid.

John, I think nearly everyone has paid.
I fully expect (hope) that eric comes/registers

so I think we will end up with around 15.
but that is a shame, because this is going to be an awesome event!

Actually, the north side of the lake (Fawnskin side) about 1 mile from the dam. I walk across the street and fall in (brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr).
Oh BTW...would love to show as I am one of the Kalifornians willing to actually drive their teeners, but #2 cylinder is trying to swallow an intake valve and I don't have any money.
I would ride with Joe Sharp, but he smells bad and has a curious gleam in his eye all the time.

I look directly across the lake at Boulder Bay and as soon as my rifle is clean, they're gonna lose their bright nite lites. Fuchs up my view.
Lake is full from storms last winter...was 10' - 15' down....lots of beaches.....during storms & melt, water was running 6 - 12" deep thru Fawnskin, Moon ridge, Bear City, etc. Fish are smiling and so are the Real Estate Agents....People have lake front property again.
Dock started floating and then another storm came up and it floated away....never did find it.

400 miles. One way.
You have to be joking Ron. Most of them won't even drive half that far - round trip. And 'NO', I am not worried about any of them comming to Vegas to try to
me for dissing them. Hell, they don't even bother to call me when they are in town so I can buy 'em a FREE BEER.

Hold on. Let me check the calendar for recent 914 Club activities.
SMOG Mid West Classic. Route 66 Classic. Nope. Not is California.
How about future events: Mid U.S. Ramble. East Coast Cookout. East Coast Ramble.
Red Rocks Classic. Whistler Weekend. Fall Foliage Classic. Nope. None in California.
Heck, they don't even have the WCC next year.
So. Tell me again. Why do we have the California guys in the club?
Oh yeah. Now I remember. Andy has the server. Nevermind.
**The intent of this post is to conjole you to come to Moab.
Register NOW. Prove me wrong. Have some fun.
Posted by: moab914 Aug 29 2005, 09:33 PM
Living in Moab and owning the only on-the-road 914 in town (the other one is fine, but sits sadly on blocks waiting for its owner gets over his 911), I was very interested to learn about the September 914 Red Rock Classic.
Having thought for years what fun a 914 event would be in Moab, it only took me long enough to find the registration page and my VIN to get registered.
So... if anyone needs advice about getting here, activities, who actually does 914 service work it town etc. I offer my services as the one and only "local" participant.
For starters for anyone driving in from the east, never drive into Moab via I-70 and U.S. 191 which are both flat, straight, and dull. Always take UT 128, which once it gets to the Colorado River, is one of the best open car, curvy roads around. Teeners taking the LaSal Mountain Loop tour during the event will get to drive the western part of UT 128 during the weekend, but once is never enough!
For all of those beer questions, we have two Micro-breweries, Eddie McStiffs near the SE corner of Main (aka US 191) and Center and the Moab Brewery located just south of the McDonalds on the west side of US 191. The parking lot at the Moab Brewery is packed on weekends with big SUVs carrying mtn bikes. Try parking along Dogwood street just a bit farther south before the Comfort Suites.
It will likely still be fairly warm at the end of September, but not oppressive like in July. We can still have thunderstorms, so keep the Targa top in the trunk or plan to drive quickly. Last week, coming back from Telluride (another great 914 drive on UT 46), I got pretty wet when I had to slow down through Norwood, Colorado.
For those of you driving through Salt Lake City, Ed Andrews at (801) 532-3697 is Mr 914 for the region. Ed quit the SLC Porsche dealership about 30 years ago to work mostly on 914s. He still works part time in his shop, is a fountain of mechanical knowledge, and has lots of obscure parts in his bone yard.
Looking forward to seeing you in Moab.
Posted by: BMartin914 Aug 29 2005, 11:24 PM
I was so excited to see your post moab914! It will be great to have a local join us!
I just got all of my parts in and am well on my way to having my car buttoned up and ready for the drive. Still have quite a bit of work to do for reassembly, but it shouldn't be too bad.
Just about 23 days and counting...I can't wait!
Posted by: Toast Aug 30 2005, 03:32 PM
Thanks for the great advice moab914!

The Aarchway Inn had blocked off rooms for our group. After today the unused rooms will be made available to the public. If you made a reservation, please check to see that you are on this list. If you reserved a room and your name is not on the list - please post here or send me a PM. If you are planning to reserve a room - DO IT NOW. If you are going to be at the event it will be a lot more fun if we are all at the same hotel.

I'm bringing my teener, and Moab914, I know Ed Andrews very well, he does all the work on my car. I know of an orange 914 in Moab owned by a woman and she keeps it at the airport in one of the buildings there, I've seen the car when I was down having lunch with Ed, she brings it to SLC to have Ed do all the work on that car. Also know of a BLM employee that lives in Moab that has a 914, that wouldn't by any chance be you would it?
Looking forward to the rally.

Sounds like good news all around. Just heard of a couple of (local) lurkers that will be joining us and I got my #3 sparkplug hole rethreaded and found a correct ecu to test on my car.

Cool! Michael Wills & I are meeting up at my house at 4 a.m. on Thursday to caravan up.
I'll bring my swimming suit along so that Toast won't be lonely in the hot tub.
It's a good thing it's still a week away so I've got time to get ready, but I'm so psyched about it that I can hardly wait!

Well... my hopes of driving the "new" 914 to RRC have been dashed. I was considering driving it even with the growling rear wheel bearing, but it does sound like that bearing is on the same side as...
...the swiss cheese suspension console that I found today whilst doing a valve adjustment.
At least this week won't be such a time crunch now. And if it's hot in Moab and you guys are all sweaty... I'll be in air conditioned comfort.

I had a similar brush with things this weekend - brake fluid running out of the master cylinder area onto the ground. It turns out that it was one of the grommets for the reservoir tubes. PP will have parts here by Wednesday so I'll be in good shape.
It's not what you drive that counts, it's that you are there so we can see your smiling face! Of course this will be twice now that I've seen you at a 914 event and you've been driving something besides a 914 - I'm beginning to suspect that it's only a rumor that you own one!

weather.com calls for a chance for thunderstorms for Saturday & Sunday. Let's hope it comes and goes quickly!

I guess that technically it's really one and enough parts to build one and a half. But that's not much different than half of the 914world.com population.

Mine won't start again. It's back to the good 'ol TDI Jetta for me. But I'll still be there!
Posted by: TROJANMAN Sep 19 2005, 12:59 PM
mine is in jeopardy of not going also. I need some Lugnuts for my Fuchs. The guy changing my rotors told me that the the Ebay specials i bought, are what casued the threads to get stripped. FUCH!
i needed to be able to pick up the car from him tonight so that i could drop it off at Pat's tomorrow morning for the valve adjustment.

Greg,
hit up the colorado group.
even if they don't give you or sell you a set, someone will surely let you borrow a set
unfortunately I don't have any for you
but maybe rex?
and I know peter has a set of lug nuts he got from Scott.
so someone can loan you some.
other option would be to borrow non mag wheels and use short lugs with thinner rims?

I've been keeping an eye on the weather reports on the local stations here in Salt Lake and so far they are saying a nice weekend in store for us of course that can change. Will keep you posted on the weather in Moab for the weekend.
Posted by: Series9 Sep 19 2005, 11:15 PM
Unless things change (like they do all the time), I will be flying on Friday. Luckie will be leaving for Moab (7 hour drive) in the morning on Friday and I'll be leaving in the afternoon. DO NOT go to sleep until I arrive....

In your car you should be there in about 4 hours tops.
