Thanks for sorting the next WCR venue guys. Turns out all venues under consideration were all 7 hours drive away...?
This is the last time I drove up there with a buddy (I think he's driving some sort of older British vehicle):
We drove from the Bay Area and stayed near Squaw Valley resort. Both cars shifted in idle at altitude - one went up, one down in RPM, but for the life of me I can't remember which did which. Possibly a difference between 2" SUs on the E-type and the 40TIN Zenith designs. Anyway, a tweak of both idle RPM adjusts fixed things. Some great driving roads around in the summer and some spectacular scenery.
See y'all there...

There is an amazing drive through the national parks that exits 5 just south of the Oregon border with California. I visited Mark Whitesell one day to deliver a project and took that route. You should check it out. It will drop you down into Nevada just North of Reno and you can take either 80 West or 50 West to the Lake. I’d take 50 but your in the drivers seat.

Posted by: ConeDodger Jan 20 2023, 10:47 PM
I need help. I noticed some crunchy sounds and twinges of pain in my left ankle a couple weeks back and I went to see my VA doc. One MRI later and I’m told I need surgery to repair a repair that was done after a hard landing in Iraq. I’m told to stay off my foot and to wear a fancy boot. After surgery, I’ll be in a cast for 3-4 months.
Bottom line, I will not be able to plan and execute, and probably not even attend the event.
Anyone willing to step up? I have the two drives planned. One around the lake, the other follows the UC Davis Bike Clubs “Death Ride” route. The T-Shirt design is pretty much finalized.
Anyone?

Sorry about your foot.
I can certainly help the organizer during the event. I plan to attend....i can be most helpful if the event is closer to south lake area, as i have family I plan to visit. Otherwise, I may be staying far from headquarters.
But yes, count me in to assist during the events.... not a problem.

We hope to be there.
2 people in 2 914's
Also curious about accommodations.
Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 1 2023, 09:24 AM
Working on acomidations now. Should have details in a day or two. Just waiting to hear what they can do for us. Harvey’s has a concert on the 4th, but shouldn’t interfere with what we got planned. Also have one other quote going, so we can weigh the 2 against each other.

Harvey’s concert venue is in the parking lot to the east of the hotel in the parking lot that is across the street from the golf course which is on the lake. I think the hotel would like to think that people stay there rather than drive home after the concerts and I’m sure some do. But, it’s only an hour and a half back to Sacramento and an hour to Reno. Still, I’m sure the hotel raises rates to cash in on concerts.
The hotels are concentrated within about a half mile of each other in stateside, NV. You can’t go too far wrong with any accommodation in Stateside.
For you golfers, it’s the golf course they hold the ProAm event at.

You probably know this but the River Lodge is on the opposite side of the lake from the event. A good 30-40 minutes away?
Posted by: 914werke Feb 1 2023, 11:05 PM
Are accommodations easier/cheaper south lake vs north lake? 
Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 2 2023, 12:11 AM
Not necessarily.
The area that time of year is busy. Compare the quotes so far to motel 6 and it's $357 for all 3 nights. The difference is that Harvey's will waive parking if under contract by the 5th. Still looking, but will put this to bed soon.
Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 2 2023, 01:40 AM
Ok Got this sorted out. We will be staying at the old Montbleu Now Bally's. I was looking around and for the $, unless we stay really low end they are about the same.
I was able to put this together through Priceline and they don't charge a $15 a day fee to park. The other prices are a little more, but it's a wash. It will also allow everyone to book directly and not have to worry about applying a discount.
You can make your reservations here -
https://groupdeals.priceline.com/eh/4b005-1539
If you are coming down on Thursday (like I am) you can change the date in the check in box and hit update to get the rate for that night too.
I would advise booking this early rather than later as I suspect it will fill up.
Note the cancellation penalty of one night before 5/25 at the cheapest rate, so for a few $ maybe pay that??
I think this will offer the best bang for the $

College has had me pretty busy these last few months, and I haven't been able to keep up to date on The World. The 914 is sleeping soundly back home for now. Last WCR was a blast but looks like this one is the weekend before finals so I'll have to sit this one out. Look forward to the pictures though!

I don’t want to create undo worry, the roads are usually dry in June, it is likely though that at least some of the larger ski resorts will be open. Historically, the longest I recall is the 4th of July. We have something like 200% plus of our normal snow pack at this time and it is still snowing.
Bottom line, contact 914Rubber.com and get a reproduction ski rack! Add skiing to the list of optional activities.

This is an actual house in Incline Village! We are now over 55’ and approaching the record for the second highest snowfall total since records were kept. The weather has been warming and this will melt but, again, the ski resorts will likely still be open. The roads are open and dry mostly. This will likely be the most beautiful scene. Snow, blue water, bright sunshine. I can’t wait!

As I said, the ski resorts may still be open for you guys who ski. Heavenly if you’re not familiar, is the one that looks straight down at the lake from its summit. The resorts don’t get too aggressive about extending the season. This is a three week extension. The problem is, their staff is seasonal and they have to make sure that they have enough staying on to run the resort.

There are also a ton of pot holes popping low profile tires from the snow removal equipment. Hopefully some of these will get fixed soon. I was just up there last week in a 4x4.

We have secured a site for the show and shine. It is looking like many events will be on the valley floor. As I said, the ski resorts may be open, three announced a three week extension of the their season. One announced they will extend to the 4th of July today.

What about a boat ride on the lake? I have entirely randomly discovered a 914 guy among my Facebook friends who lives at the lake. He is a boat captain and his job involves excursions. He owns a sailboat called the Pirate but we suspect it will not be big enough for everyone.
I discovered he was a 914 guy when he posted a picture of a rear deck lid he was glassing a spoiler on. WTF! I’ve known him for a year and I didn’t know he had a V8 914 ratrod!
Anyway, if you’re interested, let me know.

Steve,
Traditionally,we have a BBQ in the parking lot. We haven’t begun to shape out that end of the schedule because it looks right now,like standing in a parking lot after dark might be uncomfortable. If it is, we would probably take over a room in the hotel. But we have to work out the mechanics and rules for that.

Blake,
I’ll talk to Mark as soon as I get a chance, but I think we also want to make the shirts available to order for those who will not be in attendance…
Picture for visual learners. We will be driving down this street! Probably stopping…

It was indeed. V8 car. Probably Beech Boys Racing? He traded it a few weeks later for a nice vintage Mercedes. He lives 17 miles away from me.

Just a heads up, If you register after April 30th we can no guarantee you will get a shirt.
We need 4 weeks so we can have them a week before to take with us. This allows for the shipping to us to process and will not require rushing anything to help keep the cost down. I will notate this in the title block.
Also if you are not attending and want a shirt we are processing that on the the 30th also so sign up here -
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=364790
Put in what you want to get on the thread we will contact you to process them.

I'm new to this event, will there be a car show at all if so where at in SLT?
Also just an FYI Gardnerville/Minden also known as The Carson Valley is about 30 minutes away via Kingsbury Grade (really fun drive) as an alternative to expensive Tahoe accommodations...I live in Gardnerville.

I talked with my friend that lives in Incline Village who gets around the lake more than I do today. He says the roads are clear of snow with towers of snow on the edges in some places. It’s melting fast, but there are “rivers of melt water” crossing the roads in some spots. Our biggest concern up at the lake are “potholes” big enough that the county has an inclusion on their website to reimburse the damage they may cause!
For this reason, we will likely spend time in the valley below the lake…
Baja, I was thinking a drive down through Markleville to Gardnerville and back up through Washoe Valley. You don’t know the condition of that road do you?
@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=16969
The car show is a show and shine at Summit Racings West lot were the motorcyle safety course is run in the summer. It will be Saturday from 10am to 2pm.

By the time June rolls around a lot of the run off will be gone. Hwy 4 to Markleeville off of 88 is fine although with the fires last year not very pretty to look at. Hwy 88 to 395 in GV is fine also. Both 4 and 88 are a little beat up from our winter from hell.

I am desperately trying to make it. The engine went in 2 weeks ago and the rest of everything seems to falling in line. I have been working all weekend long every weekend and about 4 hours a day during the week to get everything done. I started with essentially a parts car 2.5+ years ago. Since then driving the car to my cabin (Modesto to Tahoe) has been my goal coincidentally right near the main meetup.
I have a cabin on Kingsbury grade right near the hotel, do I have to register still?
Does anyone want to come over and lend me a hand?
Posted by: Mikey914 Apr 26 2023, 06:50 PM
You do not have to register to attend, however the registration covers a $25 dinner credit and a t shirt.
To be elligible to win anything at the raffle you do need to be registered.
Registration secures seating for the dinner. We may not have enough room for unregistered at the dinner.
So do you have to to join up with us, no.
The real cut off is April 30th as mentioned on the thread for the t-shirts.

Just FYI, I have tested part of our drive plan. Coming down 50 from Stateline and through Virginia City. Almost no potholes. We are going to make drive decisions close to event time.
@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=8684 you may not take 50 up from Sacramento. It is forbidden.

So…. As we registered through the website to keep track of credits and shirts, I only have names, not user names. So the only list I could publish is the actual names. I’m not real comfortable publishing actual names as I’m sure a few folks may not want me to do so.
So if all that registered want to sound off, that’s fine.
I can say we have 28 registered participants. Look like a good turn out, and Rob is working on another tie in that could be cool.

Looking for any more information on the actual event schedule itself? We are signed up, but does anyone have a schedule, hell even an idea about what and when we'll be doing things? We're coming up from the Bay Area and trying to decide what nights we need to be up there.
Drives? Events? What do we know team? I seem to be missing a link or something.
See you in South Shore in three weeks, somewhere, sometime! 
Posted by: Mikey914 May 13 2023, 05:23 PM
Well there are 2 drives that will meet at 9:14 (Friday and Saturday).
There is also a dinner Saturday evening.
If you want to to assure spa e at the dinner you can register, it will also offer a $25 dinner credit at the food venue. We will offer up space as available for those that would like to join. We did make a few extra T-shirts, so of we have the size you want it would include the shirt.
There will be a raffle for prises given away, but only registered participants will get tickets.
The actual detail of the drives are still being finalized due to the winter weather and road conditions. However, if you show up at the hotel parking lot the details will be fully divulged at the drivers meetings.

The critical element of drive one, Friday is Kingsbury Grade. It goes from just east of the hotel to the garderville minden area. The concern is potholes and snow and water on the roadway. Once we arrive in the gardnerville minden area, we come back north to the south side of Carson City and then up 50 to the hotel. I’m confident that the valley floor is as safe as usual as I still teach at a hospital in Carson once a week so I drive it regularly.
Saturday, we will leave the hotel and head east on 50 down to the valley floor. We stay on 50 through the southern part of Carson City then turn north toward Virginia City. Virginia City is an old mining town with hardly anywhere to park so we’ll pass right through and take the Geiger Grade down to the Damonte Ranch area in South Reno. We’ll then take Veterans Parkway North to Summit Racing retail store in Sparks. This is where we will have our “Bugs on the Bumper Show and Shine.”
After the S&S, we jump on 80 West and heard up to Truckee and back around the Northeast to Southeast side of the lake. The host hotel is on the southeast side of the lake. Then, off to dinner.
You will need a full tank of gas. Don’t make us rescue you.

Hi All,
A bit late to the party, but now coming!
Was able to get the car sufficiently "sorted" yesterday with the help of a German neighbor I just met who "happens" to be a retired air-cooled Porsche mechanic.
I have an offer for anyone making the 9 hour drive from So Cal, We have a nicely appointed guesthouse free for your use. We're just north of Madera 5 minutes off Hwy 99 exactly half way to Tahoe.
Cathy's not "too keen" on even the 4 1/2 hours from here to Tahoe in the Creamsicle, so she's driving her CRV. That said, if another spouse is of similar mind, riding with her is available too.
Blessings,

I drove the Saturday drive route today in my truck. We keep getting asked about the drives but the problem is, we can simply pick a route on a map, but have no way of knowing what the road conditions are like without having eyes and tires on the road.
Here’s what I found:
There are more potholes than usual, but less than I expected.
There is melt water on the roadway in places, but less than I expected.
We are having ‘unsettled’ weather later this year, I encountered rain both up and down the mountain. I would expect conditions to be the same next week. The weather in Tahoe doesn’t care what the calendar says.
You should probably plan on a jacket of some sort and maybe gloves. The ambient temperature was 60 degrees or so. That temperature dropped 20 degrees as I ascended to 8900’ above sea level. (Yes, that is on our route.) I would put the targa on…
I will drive the Friday route tomorrow and update this then.
Posted by: ConeDodger May 27 2023, 10:13 PM
Well, it’s a good thing I test drove the route. One of the roads on our Friday drive is under water forcing a detour that takes miles and two small cities off that drive.
But, we have a plan. Curiously, the roads are in better condition for this drive! Almost no potholio’s!
See you all next week!
Posted by: Unpretentious May 28 2023, 08:48 AM
Thanks for for-running the route. See you Friday.

I had the food truck back out for the Summit Racing Show and Shine for Saturday. But in a save, I managed to get a taco truck that does food truck Friday, a weekly event here that draws thousands of people here. I’ve never eaten his stuff. So, if you don’t like authentic Mexican Taco truck fare, plan to bring your lunch…

I'm heading out from Flagstaff this afternoon, headed for Death Valley tonight. Tomorrow, I'll drive up 395 to Cabellas in Reno. I'll be at the hotel early in the day on Thursday.
Just to confirm - the hotel is now called Bally's Lake Tahoe - right? I don't have a room since my Sprinter is my home on wheels. I'm happy to help with anything on Thursday to get things ready. Just let me know.

We plan to leave Sacramento Thursday afternoon but specific time is up in the air still, my wife's new job schedule is a bit of a variable.
After the 914 stranded us on a trip a couple weeks ago I am towing it to Tahoe.

HEY! Some of us got an early start and we need a Photo Uploader thread! @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=179 - can you help?
In the meantime, let's talk "What a difference a day makes!" Here's yesterday as I was arriving in South Lake Tahoe and this morning, taken from Gardnerville, NV, just over Kingsbury Grade from the start location.

Question for the organizers.
For those that live in the area (i.e. Reno or Sparks), can we park our 914s at Balley's if we aren't staying at the hotel?

I’m registered, but unable to show up until tomorrow afternoon. I’d like to see you all, maybe the Balleys garage? Anybody know, when and where is dinner tomorrow night?
Also I saw some pics of a silver 914 with cookie cutters on this thread but then they disappeared? Wondering if it’s a car I used to own? Hoping to see you all tomorrow.

Oscar,
There’s a problem. When I got home and Yopu saw the 914 pillow, I knew that I’d have trouble keeping it. She took it, and started cuddled it.
I’m looking for a good place to hide it now…

Just got back to Auburn. What a fun trip; special thanks to Mark (914 Rubber) and his lovely wife and Rob (Cone Dodger), and anyone else who I am sure helped make this event happen.
Last nights dinner at the South of North Brewing Company was a fun time and a great place to have that dinner. My brother Bob and I had a great time and really enjoyed getting to talk to people we rarely get to see.
Cheers,
