Not much info yet, except Kevin's nailed post that says - Portland, Oregon, July 7/8/9.

There was a funny post from Craig the other day - "the 2006 WCC... wherever it is."

Anyone know what activities are planned? Anyone asked about track fees? smile.gif

I'll give you an offical "maybe".

My Motor and transaxle come out next weekend for a rebuild. Photos to come under my old build thread. This will be another big push like the WCC "04" Will Sandy and I make it? cool_shades.gif

This photo was taken on the top of the parking ramp the day I arrived at the Pruneyard for the WCC "04"

Rick, The engine is at Johnsonmotor sports with parts coming from Supertec, The body is being prepared for paint. Car allowance will determine on how fast things come together, the house remodeling is on going and it sucks up a lot of car monies.
Qarl is doing great, he is getting started on the teener again, I am going down to visit him in two weeks. We are trying to figure the logistics of the drive, or tow to WCC06.

I bumped the thread "West Coast Classic in PDX '06". First post has hotel details.
Vegas Racer's pic of PIR is inspiring, but unless Counselor Craig has worked some sort of miracle, the only track time we will get is a lunch-break parade lap during the vintage races on Sunday.

I wont be able to make it this time, with my work schedule, it is just too far for me to wander. Anything more than about 6 hours from home just is not feasable for me for the next few years. Maybe next year?

I'm using up ALL of my vacation for the year to be there!

We're planning on taking the long way there and back. Might hook up with some of the SoCal crew and then head up the PCH... or might go thru Vegas and follow Elvira... We haven't planned that far ahead. Only that We're going to take somewhere between 10-14 days for the trip!

Plan to come you guy's. If we can't get an AX or track time put together by then you can cancel at the last minute.

Or just come out to meet us. confused24.gif Just like the first WCC "04" ,, The Exellence article, every other Classic across the counrty, and every Classic "05" event as well as this garage type BBS.

It's about the people not just the cars. wavey.gif

Posted by: Porsche Rescue Jan 6 2006, 10:50 PM

I am not involved with the planning at this point, but my guess is that this Classic will be for driving and socializing, not track time. If your car cannot be enjoyed on the highway, probably best to come without and ride along.

Well, it appears that Portland Oregon is the place for the 2006 WCC. I had a very productive planning meeting today with the event planning director and co director, Gary and Pamela Chapman.
A preliminary agenda has been worked out, also the routes for the two driving days, the 8th and 9th.
The 7th is going to be a meet and greet at the Monarch Hotel. Regisration and goodie bags. Wewill have a"car wash" area set aside with hoses and wash items
The 8th will be a run up to Timberline Lodge, for a lunch and photo op, with a return down to the old Columbia River hiway to Edgefield Manor in Troutdale. Then back to the hotel. Working on a Banquet for that evening(this is not finalized yet).
The 9th will be a run out to Portland International Raceway. We will have a 914 club Car Corral, noon time Parade lap, an autocross, lots a of vintage car racing and vendors selling all kinds of goodies.
This is all subject to change, but this will give all of you an idea of what we are planning.

arron, figure portland to stockton as a reference for the first day's driving distance. believe me, you will be done. for the way down south crew i would suggest parking for the night in weed (not ON weed smoke.gif ). a half day run from there and you'll be in pdx in the early afternoon. doing the syskious at night, after a full days drive, would not be for the faint of heart.

So Cal group heading up I-5 I'm assuming. Meet up with you guys here and if anybody needs to check, adjust, repair, replace, remove, change, or fix anything I have access to a lift and tools. Then we will continue on. Maybe meet up with the central coast/sacramento/modesto/fresno guys at the 580/I-5 junction?

I can't commit yet, but every year I like to use the idea of the WCC as a good excuse to put maximum effort into the car for at least the first half of the year. This time I have everything planned out; what needs to happen and when over the next 6 months. Anything could go wrong.

For me this would be primarily a shakedown cruise so track time is not a requirement.

Oh please, the Siskiyous are just mountains, with a freeway going thru them...I'll grant you that Mt. Ashland pass in the winter is a bitch but July....the biggest problem will probably be overheating on the long grade out of Yreka north and Ashland south....and you want us to stay in WEED, how about Mt. Shasta or better yet, Dunsmuir (where I used to live) a lot prettier down canyon and I might be able to do us some good with lodging or food...it really depends on when the "herd" gets out of the Bay Area, if we could get an early start out we could be over the hill and into Oregon by the first nite easy...and then a nice easy day to Portland. I don't care as long as we don't stop in the lower valley (Red Bluff/Redding...asshole of the world in July....

Posted by: E. Fry Feb 22 2006, 03:22 PM

Ok, so I've been watching the chat and have only seen minor mention of an auto-x. Is there or is there not? If so will it be in the pro pits at PIR? (conflict w/ vintage?) I hear the parade is going to run at the expo. ctr. (unconfirmed) This site could be an option. Or maybe the Packwood site,(just 1.5 hours north)

Very curious...

Also a bit of info. PCA/PNWR has an auto-x scheduled for July 1st in Bremerton WA (about 3 hours north of Portland)
A great site and fast (can you say airport runway).

If anyone can make that one be sure to look me up.

Posted by: reverie Feb 22 2006, 05:38 PM

If there isn't an autocross at the WCC, I think it would be pretty cool to set up a 200-foot skidpad, and do some skidpad testing.

The 200-foot skidpad rating of a stock (no swaybars?) 914 has been documented, but I've never seen numbers for 914s with different suspension mods. It would be interesting and fun to do that.

smile.gif

Posted by: J P Stein Feb 22 2006, 06:23 PM

OK, here's the AX deal.
The vintage organizer puts one on in the Pro Pits...adjacent to the corrals which are on the grass surrounding the asphalt.
I ran it in 2004. It was manned by volunteers from the SCCA rally group. It was hand timed. It was short....23 sec & change.
It was not safe, IMO. It cost 5 bucks a run with the proceeds going to charity. Run as much as your wallet can afford. They kept track of the top 20 or so times, but you got a time slip. Craig said the 2005 deal was better.


I started a thread a while back offering to make something out of this lash-up into an event for the WCC.....trophies & all, but only a few seemed to give a shit. Needless to say I dropped it. I have my hands full of Parade AX already.

The possiblilities for something are still there. We can do something without any input from the attendees and make it available to those interested or we can organize something more structured.... but I ain't gonna push it any more. I'll run the AX as is just for the hell of it, either way.

Details are coming. I heard a rumor about a web link coming soon. Hang in there and check back often.

The AX has not been formally cancelled as far as I know. I'm still planning trophies for that event. I will continue to plan trophies until I here from Craig.

Posted by: Eddie914 Feb 22 2006, 08:13 PM

Even though I live in Seattle, I'll be driving 500 miles to get to the WWC06!

We have attended an extended family July 4th vacation at Priest Lake, Idaho for the last 15 years. If I did not attend, a family mutiny might result.

I'm hoping on coming back a day early so I can make it to WCC06 on Friday night or Saturday.

I'm planning on taking three vehicles to the vacation: (1) Famliy Chevrolet Suburban, (2) Ski boat and (3) BMW M5.

I'll come back Friday with the Suburban and the boat, leaving the M5 for my wife to drive back on Saturday with the three kids.

I hope all the rigs make the trip without incident. The Suburban has 170,000 miles. And the M5 currently has 299,975 miles on the original engine!

Anyone driving the Seattle to Portland leg on Friday evening?

The 914/6 is still without engine … the 3.2 should be delivered later this week from Sixnotfour after a freshening up!

You are a cheap arse because a track day is usually a lot more than $100!! smile.gif

I obviously missed some earlier info - why no track day? What tracks are up there?

-Steve

Posted by: Andyrew Feb 22 2006, 08:29 PM

hehe, I know that biggrin.gif

but the key word was more... I figure it'll be 150 for registering.. add another 100 for it, and its 250...

A track event is like 200-400.. and its normally 2 days... (at the track..)

I figure one day at the track would be half that.. no? wink.gif

Hey Steve! Check us out! This is a glimps of some serious HP! ohmy.gif

Chris dropped big coin on his engine and exhaust. Too bad it's unlikely he will be at WCC06.

Okay I am going to try and clear up the AUTOCROSS issue.
This is from the "official letter" sent to the car clubs who are going to participate.

"The autocross will be back this year! While there is not an "official fee" to participate, we do ask each participant to make a $5 donation to the Childrens Cancer Assoc.. We ask for this donation for each pass a participant makes.There will be trophies for first, second and third place based on the club with the highest amount of donations. The awards will be presented Sunday afternoon."

I hope this finally clears up the AUTOCROSS issue.

Please note JP's description of the AX above. While it will be fun, do NOT expect a full-blown PCA/SCCA-type event like we had at at Candlestick for WCC '04. That was possible because the event happened to coincide with a PCA event which we were able to join. Likewise, no track day in '06. In '05 Howard was able to arrange for us to tag along at a scheduled POC (?) event at Streets of Willows. This year's WCC is scheduled to coincide with the Portland Historic Races at PIR. The local track will have no room for us. Even if it did, track events require an organization with insurance and other formalities which our ""non-club" does not have. Do not expect track time or a full-blown autocross and you won't be disappointed. Expect some fine driving, socializing and some great vintage racing to watch.

Without too much thrashing around, the WCC AX is a go....assuming a few minor issues can be worked out.
As Jim said,don't expect an SCCA National Tour event, but it should be fun. I'll get back to ya on this when things firm up.
Classes, trophies, pit dollies.....the whole bit biggrin.gif
