914World.com _ 914World Garage _ should there be an RRC 06?
Posted by: brant Nov 30 2005, 05:13 PM
Hi Folk!
I really REALLY had fun at the Red Rocks Classic this year.
thanks to the great sponsors and great attendees it was superb!
at the end of the event we discussed options of doing it again in Moab, or even changing locations to the 4-corners area.
I'm curious what the attendee's and prospective attendee's would want.
I don't want to loose even 1 of our CA people.... in fact I'd love to get a few more! So I'm cogniscient to trying to keep it somewhat close to the big state...
so how about it. Should there be an RRC 06, and where should it be?
I just had 4-5 days in Moab for Thanksgiving and boy was it nice to be back. here is a teaser or two:

let me think about that for a second...................
HELL YES
why don't you plan everything and get back to us. 
Posted by: echocanyons Nov 30 2005, 05:17 PM
Yes please have it again.
I will be sure to attend this time, I really hated to miss it last time.
Posted by: echocanyons Nov 30 2005, 05:20 PM
St. George, Bryce and Zion's are really nice too.
Posted by: shelby/914 Nov 30 2005, 05:29 PM
YES, YES, YES!!!! especially now that I have a car that runs and should be able to make the trip. Of course there is always the F250 and trailer method.

Definitely, except this time lets go someplace scenic. Oh, and we should try and have beer available. And maybe a few door prizes ?
I've finally got my car registered, and if I'm lucky my taillight won't flake out when the cops are looking. So, except for moving violations, I should be okay. BTW, when I tracked down the last guy who actually registered the car, he said that someone had stolen it from him; the teenage girl who stole it was caught b/c of that intermittent taillight problem....

Yes Yes Yes, can't go wrong with Moab, still a lot more to see. Count me in....
Posted by: VegasRacer Nov 30 2005, 06:07 PM
Moab, Four Corners, Zion, Grand Canyon . . . . .
Where ever you have the RCC '06 - I will be there. 
(even if you have it in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho with the terrorist)

I don't care where you have it. I will try to show. If I win the lottery I'll make every event.

but moab isn't in new mexico.
actually, santa fe or taos would not be a bad place to have it, but i think it may alienate (not you rick -pun) some of our northern friends.
Posted by: Eric_Shea Nov 30 2005, 07:59 PM
Yes. Moab.
Moab offers just the right amount of amenities/scenery/roads/parks.
Plus maybe I'll be able to remember the 2nd one...

Posted by: LvSteveH Nov 30 2005, 08:14 PM
I had a great time, and I'd be happy to do Moab again if the opportunity presents itself. Actually, my prep for the trip must have been ok, poor little car has been my daily driver every day since.
Posted by: MW 914 Nov 30 2005, 08:34 PM
You guys are cracking me up already. Hell, have the thing anywhere you want. I'll be there again. My car might even be a little faster by then.... 
All I ask is that Joe keeps the cops away and keeps his alternative names for certain body parts to himself. ***dumpster.....christ that was funny.

I hope you're not using that in your daily real estate endeavours. It wouldn't be good for business.

I've tried but the proper situation has yet to present itself. Of course, I'm not quite sure what that situation would be???
Posted by: TurtleGirl Nov 30 2005, 10:00 PM
I would really love to have it in NM, too...
I'll go to Moab or wherever. I'll have a running car by the next one!!!
Posted by: Mrs. K Nov 30 2005, 10:15 PM
I'd love to go too.....after looking at all the pics....it looked like a really great time!
However....think I'll steer clear of Joe and Shea ( ).....
don't want to "praise the porcelain god"

Ok.. great response everyone.
I'm detecting an overwhelming preference to keep in in moab.
thanks for the reassurance...

b/c the WCC isn't until mid july this year, what about pushing up the RRC to mid april or may? i may not be able to wait until next september.

but Greg....
you don't have to wait.
there is going to be a 914 Track weekend event in a small colorado town this summer before RRC..
we can terrorize or take hostage the whole colorado country side!
your coming to that right?
we can call it CTC if it helps you feel more comfortable.
(cow town classic)
(I'm not sure of my racing calendar yet though... so I personally am hesitant to committ to any dates between april and october right now.)

I'm with Greg - besides, that's a big Jeepin' season, so the opportunity to meet entertaining Grandma-lovers increases. Regardless when it gets scheduled, though, I'll drag Mike there.
Maybe we'll even bring "my" 914!

Actually, the green one he just bought is "mine"... although it seems he's been buying duplicates of parts for "my" 914... I wonder what's up with that?!

I can't believe anyone was able to get that close to his car! However, had I not missed second gear pulling out of the parking lot, I think I could have caught him.

I got to go for a "threesome" ride in the RS!!!
As much as I love Moab, I would probably pass on future events......unless I became a millionair.
This last RRC reaaaaaaaaly hurt my pocketbook, and I barely made it back to Cali.
But thanks to my fellow 914 lovers, I did. Thanks! 
Maybe I should bring the wheelbarrow.

Just find some willing accomplices from CA and do another threesome from there to the RRC. You gotta go.

Brant, FYI the Aspen track cost $2250 for a Sunday event last year. No word on cost for this year yet. You need a real good turnout to keep costs reasonable. We are planning on 27 Aug this year.

Dan,
thats not soo bad as rentals go.
cheaper than PPIR.
but the main point of my upcoming track day is simplicity.
I don't intend to organize my own day, because I don't want to deal with ambulances, scheduling, coordination, corner workers, non-thinking participants, meals, lodging, or liability.
so I'm piggybacking onto an already existing event with all of those things.
we could piggy back onto aspen, but I seriously doubt people will attend an event that will cost 150 for a single day and another 150 lodging, and 150 meals= $450
I recognize that a teener folk need a 150-175 total price range for 2 days TOTAL.
so I'm working on something like that.

Wish I could go, but it is a long drive from Alaska. I will be there in January trying out my new Syncro Vanagon before I make the drive north.
