Okay, I would like to say thank you to all who have helped so far in getting the planning for WCC in PDX 2006 to this point.
I have been able to get the Monarch Motor Hotel for our meeting place. Rooms will be $89.00 per single or duoble occupancy plus a low 7% room tax. We are using 50 cars and 100 guests as our standard for the hotel. We can increase that figure if needed.
We will have a King suite and two adjoining Queen rooms for our meet and greet and registration room.
Website for the Monarch is here http://www.monarchhotel.cc
192 guest rooms, 5 suites, Sams restaurant open dalily with room service. Lots of free parking, we should have our own area for washing cars and towels for drying them also.
It is located on I 205, there are 15 restaurants within walking distance and a major shopping mall Clackamas Town Center, 1.2 million sq ft with 185 stores, tax free shopping.
Free local transportation, and easy access to the Portland International Airport, 10 miles.
The dates for the WCC 2006 is July 7,8 and 9. This will follow the same dates as the Portland Historic Races. We will have many other events planned, Poker run, relaxing , etc.
This is just the beginning more to come, so start planning to be in Portland in July.

Will there be 914 club umbrellas for sale before this event?

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 20 2005, 09:18 AM

all of the 4185 members planning on attending should pm/email craig asap. consider posting a link at the boid. the historics is a nice tie in. gonna be a long weekend in portland. the best part...? I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE TO CALIFORNIA!!!

Posted by: DNHunt Aug 20 2005, 09:21 AM

Hell no, we don't use umbrellas here cause the wind turns them inside out. Clear plastic slickers, uniform of the day or just hunker down and get wet.

Actually, after the 4th of July the weather gets nice. The challenge will be staying cool. Don't tell Kevin that cause he wants everyone to think the PNW sucks.

Man I'm gettin excited already

I'm in! Let's have a fun and very interesting caravan from the south! I am going to haul my car in my enclosed race trailer ( generator, compressor, power tools). It will work as a support vehicle for the club. SoCal contingent, let's plan a hook up with our friends in the bay area on the way north. Joe O and friends, "mi casa es su casa!" on your way over.....

914 drivers can't afford clear slickers. Garbage bag with 3 holes works best.

Posted by: spare time toys Aug 20 2005, 10:16 AM

We will be there. I think with gas going the way it is we are going to fly out on passes. I can pay for the trip off of what I dont spend on gas Gonna try to farm out the kids for the weekend. My Birthday is on the 8th so its a double party day

Posted by: qa1142 Aug 20 2005, 10:35 AM

Inlaws are in Vancouver, Guess I'll have to visit them.

How had driven chicago to Portland in their 914?

Posted by: VegasRacer Aug 20 2005, 10:37 AM

Only 320 days until WCC 2006
I better start now if my 914 is going to be ready in time.


To do list:
1.) Fill gas tank.
2.) Check tire pressure.
3.) Wash windshield.


OK. I'm ready.

Posted by: Porsche Rescue Aug 20 2005, 10:45 AM

Will, I bought a very nice original '71 with 95,000 miles and drove Chicago-Portland in Oct. of '02. Daylight only, 4 days, about 600 miles per day. Great fun. Would not have been with a break-down in middle of Nebraska!

Posted by: Brando Aug 20 2005, 10:55 AM

Wow... Portland...

Now's the big question -- do I drive the teener and hope it doesn't overheat?

Or fly and bum a teener off someone?

Posted by: boxstr Aug 20 2005, 11:51 AM

Okay, Looks like people are startng to wakeup to the idea of the WCC 2006 in PDX. This year on the 8th we had a huge downpour and the remaining two days and many days after were absolutely sunny and warm. So umbrellas could get double duty in Portland.
Sponsors, feel free to let us know who you are and step up.
After the Camarillo event, alot of people expressed interest in a more laid back atmosphere for the WCC 2006, well you can make it what you want. I think alot of people were more than happy to visit the Tokillya Wagon that Joe Sharp brought over. Start now Joe and you will be there on time.
I can contact a transporter that I use to find out the cost for those who might want to have there cars transported up.
CAMP 914 may have an Arrive and Drive program in place by then also.
More to follow.

Someone make this a sticky. I could caravan up with some people on the 6th, get there early. About a 17-18 hour drive from SoCal?

I know some of us won't make plans until the last minute (me last year). I had such a wonderful [drunken] time I want to make definite plans for next year. Plus I get some paid days off

Posted by: DNHunt Aug 20 2005, 12:10 PM

I would imagine some of the local guys might be willing to host a driver.

I would be but, I'll have a 16 year old pup intent on proving he's the next Fangio. If he's anything like his dad our family will be favorites for the most cones killed by one family. I pity the people in the other run groups.

Should be fun.

P.S. no sticky threads yet, since it's still a long ways off.

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 20 2005, 06:00 PM

less time on the computer=more time in the garage. unfinished cars hasn't stopped anyone the past 2 years. don't worry mark, this will be 100 pages long in no time. for those that may attend... if you have never been to the BEAUTIFUL pacific northwest give yourselve's a few extra days to explore. i will have limo service from seatac to tacoma, the city of destiny, a night or 2, or 3, or?, of lodging, and an extra seat in each car(2) to portland. reservations are being taken. ed?, miles?(show up or be a turd this time) and pasture for your best friend.

Posted by: LuckieO Aug 21 2005, 12:14 AM

So the plan is: Take two weeks of vacation, drive to SoCal first, spend some time preparing (I mean shooting the shit with you guys for a few days) for the WCC, and then caravan up to Oregon. Sounds fabulous to me...the question is will Turltegirls 914 be ready, or will we just be bringing the RS? Only time will tell!

Posted by: DNHunt Aug 21 2005, 08:41 AM

My 12 year old Sarah is already planning a snowboarding trip to Mt. Hood, then late afternoon in the waterpark. I guess we'll bring down the 914 and the Pilot.

Dave

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 21 2005, 08:57 AM

the other ski area near government camp used to have a toboggan run for the summer months. little wheeled contraptions shooting down a pretty long banked run. fun.

Posted by: drgchapman Aug 21 2005, 09:13 AM

Yeah Kevin, it's called the alpine slide at Ski Bowl. Mucho fun, could get serious road rash if you blow out. They also have a bungie jump, go carts, mountain biking down the hill. Bungie or Beer? Beer wins. I'd probably just pee myself on the bungie thing.

We are planning a road trip up through Mt. Hood, the gorge with a stop at McMenamens Edgefield Brewery. That will be a great day trip.

Looking forward to hosting all you guys. Portland ROCKS!

Posted by: Porsche Rescue Aug 21 2005, 04:28 PM

I don't think there will be a "real" autocross as part of WCC '06. There is a very short one held as a charity fund raiser on the infield during the historic races. I believe it costs $5 a run and might be fun, but not like a PCA or SCCA event.
Might be used to settle a bet or two among our members.

Posted by: boxstr Aug 21 2005, 09:38 PM

At the end of three days I think the low key Autocross at the Historics will give evryone the chance to run there car against others and the clock without pushing it to the point of breaking and having to worry about a tow home.

Posted by: boxstr Oct 6 2005, 09:34 AM

I would like to get a count of who is going to be making hotel reservations for the WCC 2006 in PDX. I relaize we have a headcount of about 94 people, but I would like to nail down the actual number of rooms we may need.

The Hotel will be the Monarch Motor hotel. http://www.monarchhotel.cc Rates are Singles/Doubles $89.00,Triples $99.00, Quads $109.00, Suites $169.00. There is a 7% room tax, this is less than other hotels in the area.
I have reserved for the WCC July 7 and 8, 50 rooms. I would like to let them know if we will need more by the first of 2006, I am sure we will be able to squeeze in a few if needed after that time.

We have a suite and two adjoining rooms, I someone wants to stay in the suite, please let me know. Please note this rooms will be a meeting place for registration and other event activities.
Thank you

California guys, want to do a caravan? I most definitely do. I need to know when to plan my vacation days around this for travel time and expense (as most who will caravan will have to do).

If you can offer any suggestions, please do! I'm all open for it.

It seems a little early for a Caravan thread.
Here is an idea anyway.

July 2 - Caravans from New Mexico - Phoenix, and Denver arrive in Vegas. PARTY !
July 3 - Caravan from Vegas to LA. (party again)
July 4 - Caravan from LA to San Francisco & pick up a bunch more 914's.
July 5 - San Fran to somewhere around the CA/OR border.
July 6 - Last leg into Portland.
July 7 - 8 - 9. WCC

The LA to Portland run could be done in 2 days. Making a stop in The Bay Area sounds like a good way to entice more people to join in.

One option discussed was for the teeners to do Hwy 1 and 101 and then Neverland and towed race cars to do I-5. We would meet up at night time.

I am in no big hurry. I want to enjoy the drive up the coast.

ATTENTION When calling the Monarch Hotel for reservations you must let them know that this is for the

"WEST COAST CAR CLUB EVENT"

They have plenty of rooms. We will soon be asking you for a firm commitment to the WCC 2006 in the form of a check and a registration confirmation.
After the final agenda we will know the exact cost to each attendee.
Sponsorship oppurtunites are being put together at this time. We will present those when completed.

Yeah, but then you skip the fun in major meeting areas.

I guess we'll work on a fine plan. But driving 24 hours straight? Nucking futz, I'd never be a truck driver obviously.

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 11 2006, 01:29 PM

leaving stockton @ 6am ish puts you in pdx around 2pm, and that is driving consistantly well over the speed limit. unless i absolutely had to, i would not relish driving thru norcal/southern ore at night. it's about 200 miles or so of mountainous driving, with pretty good distances of nothing other than scenic views.

The last time I drove to Portland it took us 18 hours and that included MANY pit stops. On the return trip it took us 21 hours and that included an hour waiting for crackhead joe and his brother to put chains on.

leaving stockton @ 6am ish puts you in pdx around 2pm, and that is driving consistantly well over the speed limit. unless i absolutely had to, i would not relish driving thru norcal/southern ore at night. it's about 200 miles or so of mountainous driving, with pretty good distances of nothing other than scenic views. k

Remember, it will probably be 112 degrees in Redding. I'm thinking nighttime driving sounds pretty good. My aircooled motor is thinking the same......

I just checked the headcount thread (nailed) and it's up to 100 members coming with cars.. (I assume cars means 914, but maybe not)

It would be so mega-awesome if 100 914s actually showed up!

What were the final 914 counts for the last two WCCs?

Yeah, I think she maybe off a bit on her time. Ages ago I drove my 914 a couple of time to Seattle (from Long Beach) in about 16 hrs and my Father comes down from Redding to visit us in Corona nowadays in about 9hrs. That being said, the drive up I5 till just south of Redding is a really baren boring drive.

I'm not sure about The Siskyous (I believe they are just over 4300 ft) but at Timberline in September one year I was lean with D-jet. Course it may not have been setup right. MS had no problems.

I could if time permits but I was bummed that they didn't seem to play in quite a few car decks (which was the whole point), and my label really sucked but it was an 11th hour effort. It would be nice to have them professionally pressed and silk-screened.

Who did the CD last year? I'm interested in seeing the playlist.

Posted by: boxstr Jan 13 2006, 10:15 AM

For those of you that need some questions answered, first review some of the thread to see if the answer is in an earlier posting. We are working on finalizing the agenda and I believe it was already posted. But here goes.
7th Friday Arrival, Meet and Greet, Goodie bags,regisration.

8th Run up to Mt Hood with a catered lunch supplied, photo op in lower parking lot with Mt Hood as a backdrop. Down the backside and on to the old Columbia river hiway and into Troutdale and Edgefield Manor for refreshments. Then back to the hotel for a Banquet dinner and awards.

9th Sunday Run out to Portland International Raceway for the Baxters Vintage races, 914 club car corral,parade lap and autocross.
These are all subject to change but this will give you an idea of what we are planning. Thank you Gary Chapman, and Pamela Chapman. Our Event Planning Director and co director.

Hopefully the car will be ready and up to it. Ben of you read this were you planning on drving your car up there too. It would be cool if we left together. Have you talked to viperman lately?

This photo was from last year as well. The club corrals are now on the inside of the track, near the a/x and, if it is not raining, is a very nice place to park. They improved access from two years ago. By the way, pits are open and walking around and drooling is as popular as any of the other weekend activities. Uhmmm....if I had a couple of million for spending money, this I wonder what I'd get?

Autocross in Portland GOOD. They have short courses that are easy to find your way around, great for beginners. Experts would probably want more. It should be a blast with vintage races, parade lap and AX. If it's in the infield there will big bump in the middle of a 180 degree turn. It's an opportunity to break a /4's backend loose.

Keep up the good work

I think the requirements are to drive a 914 that's unbelievably driveable cross-country to the event.

I think it was for gross heroism...driving a car that was finished just "hours" before they left...all the way across the country...the wheelbarrow was for his balls....

Either that or you'd break down in the middle if Nebraska.

On the plus side, if you break down in the middle of Nebraska, it's so flat that you can coast to Wyoming.

We'd change the Poker Run to a Rescue Run... Caravan to BD's breakdown location. Break out the bat-phone and sight in your GPS, WE'RE COMIN BUBBA!

Dino You can do it. Get a wax ring and slap that toilet down so you can get back working on the car. Shoot some primer on that fender. You said you got it running. I got a good muffler over here. I still want to see the Gulf 914.

a match dropped just in the correct spot (behind the drivers side front tire) is all it will take.

mid week

Who's on the fence?

Posted by: bondo Jan 25 2006, 10:50 PM

I PM'd Craig about this, but I probably shouldn't have because I'm sure he's busy enough already..

Does anyone "in the know" happen to know about what time the festivities begin on friday, and when they end on sunday? Just a guesstamate, as we're planning a vacation around the WCC, and want to know when we should roll in and roll out. If either friday or sunday is packed, we may stay at the monarch an extra night. If sunday stuff ends mid afternoon, we may spend sunday night 100 miles away. You get the idea.

Posted by: boxstr Jan 25 2006, 11:35 PM

Royce, Sorry about the delay. I was waiting for some information to come in. Friday will be open most of the day for people to arrive and we will have a registration room and a space for a meet and greet. There really isn't a "set" time.
As far as Sunday the end of the Vintage Races will signal the end of the event. People can dispers from the racetrack.
Some of us will be going back to the Monarch to gather up items and head home. If others wish to stay till Monday I am sure there will be a few people who will opt to do that. If you are planning a drive 100 miles away on Sunday you should have plenty of light to drive and plenty of time to get to your final destination.

Were staying Sunday night. We have a suit. The kids are planning to drive out with us. They will be traveling west after the event. Sandy and I are driving south from the event into California and on into Vegas. We will most likely caravan with the Cali crew. We have no real set plans yet. No hotel reservations, or any real destination. It's our time together for our 25th !

Posted by: neo914-6 Jan 26 2006, 12:50 AM

Wow 25 years, I'm only on my tenth...

Sandy must have been your high school

Cool, thanks! Just what I needed to finalize plans. Unfortunatly the historics webpage says the 2006 schedule is coming soon. I'll just assume it ends at 5pm.

Posted by: Porsche Rescue Jan 26 2006, 10:29 AM

Usually the last race is at about 5 pm. Depending on which class is running, you may or may not care to stay. You may well have had enough by 3 or 4 pm and decide to hit the road. We will be in the infield so you can only get in or out about every 30 minutes.

Posted by: bondo Feb 1 2006, 01:36 PM

Ok, reservations made for the 7th and 8th!

Is there a rough estimate yet of what the fees will be for the WCC itself? I'm trying to figure out how much I need to save from the sale of my MGB for this trip.

Well, you'll need about 500.00 for tequila, bail, new shorts, etc. track fees can be steep....after that, I don't know..... will you get that much for an MGB????

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 1 2006, 11:28 PM

A little O/T but for those driving up from CA, if your around it's kind of interesting.

I'm wondering about the possibility of camping for the event that is anywhere close to the official hotel. Linda & I will be coming in our VW camper so we have the possibility of camping or the hotel. Funds are a little tight so I'd like to explore the possibility of camping.

If any of you have spouses or partners that are interested, Saturday is the annual Outdoor Quilt Show in Sisters, OR. About 25,000 people show up to see quilts from all over the world that are hung on the buildings all over the downtown of this little mountain town. My wife is a quilter and the reason I'm not coming by myself is because WCC 2006 is the same weekend as Sisters so that's where Linda will be headed on Saturday. It's great fun and the bearclaws at the Sisters Bakery are to die for!

We will have one suite and two adjoining rooms these are going to probably be free since they come with the suite.
Speak up, and it can be yours.

I sold my 64 VW camper and I would like to know the same. Does anyone know what the fees were last year? Then I can get a idea of what I'm looking at.
