to all above I like these kinds of events.

Posted by: mstein95 Jul 10 2006, 08:37 PM

Thanks, dankesheon, gracias to all mentioned. Wife and I had a great time meeting everyone. Although Andy was quite intimidating (must be the boots) until we got the courage (aka "beer") to say "Hello".

Glad you could make it Andy.

Monarch Hotel for putting up with us and giving us a good dinner and lunches daily, meeting rooms and lodging for a few people who needed a place to crash.

Aaron Gilihan was in charge of the silent auction and he has the list of people who sent in the items for the auction.
He is on a 2 week vacation, which I feel like I would like to take, but instead I am heading out this weekend for a Goodguys car show in Puyallup.

Planning is already underway for the 2007 Pacific Northwest CAMP Classic, to be held during the Vintage Races at PIR in Portland. This event is to attract the Washington Oregon 914 contingent. Anyone can attend.
Nothing as big as WCC just a short weekend at the races.

Thanks to Joe for not socking me while I was teaching Lucky drunk yoga!

Who is in charge of wcc 07?

I think that it would be amazing to go to yosemite... The road up is amazing...

Thanks to Craig and all those who helped plan and sponsor WCC06

and many thanks to all those who found a seat in their 914 for Jen and I

Posted by: Bruce Allert Jul 10 2006, 09:51 PM

Thanks to everyone that made this happen by coming to Portland I wanted to go to the previous ones but couldn't, and now the fantasy has come true. What also came true for me was to be with a large group of car lovers zoomin' down the highway. Being able to lead 50+ 914 down the freeway into PIR like a parade was the most incredible feeling. One I will never forget.

The car I had throughout the WCC belongs to Barrett my Bro N law. I gave him the keys on Sunday to lead us to PIR. He asken me if we should go slow down the freeway! I said Nope! drive it like you stole it and he did. Zip'n around cars in N outta traffic. The best part was watch'n all the teeners doin the same. A multitude of colors in n out zip'n here N there with people pointing at all the 914's just a fly'n.

This was the coolest and I thank you all

Although I was actually more of a wedding crasher and not an official participant I want to say thank you to Jim Chambers for picking me up at the airport and driving me back to his house to pick up the "Submarine" aka Bumble Bee Racer.

Jim got what he asked for the car and I got a good deal. I am still tickled pink...

Another thanks goes out to Jeff Hines who met with me to discuss the engine. I couldn't think of questions then but I have a couple now...

Thanks to Mike Mueller for answering all of my silly bearing questions... I will be in touch.

The drive back was very long. The car actually gets about 20+ miles to the gallon so stopping every 100 miles was a bit of overkill but I appreciate Jim looking out for me. Better safe than empty...

I enjoyed my brief visit to the WCC and I will try to attend next year as a participant... You guys really looked like you were having fun..

Arrived home Monday afteroon and it all kinda hit me; this was an excoting, fun, and interesting WCC.

Thanks Dave Hunt, Mile Wills, and Thomas for the rides--I'll have my car ready for 2007.

Thanks for all those people who regularly post and I got to meet like Grasshopper, Bleysang, and others.

And thanks Craig Laughling and Aaron for making it all happen. I had a very enjoyable and memorable time.

And for those who are still lost, TURN LEFT HERE

Jamie!!! I was looking for you hoping you would show up for a beer. Bruce's bro's car is for sale so snap it up as its a good runner. something you never had, haha


JimH, nice to meet you too finally. Its great to meet all the people in person and swap stories over a beer or two.

Posted by: Coy Jul 11 2006, 09:38 AM

What a great time!

I want to thank Craig and Aaron and Jim for making it all happen. But I just can't get over Sir Andy and McMark for jumping in and helping put my spare tire on. This picture looks like I'm doing something, but those two did almost everything and we had never met. What a great bunch of folks! I've hung out with all kinds of Motorcycle and car people for years, but this is just the nicest group I've ever been around.
Thanks so much!

Thanks. I have more pix, but I ran out of steam last night making them web-ready

I have 180 I'll post them on Kodak Gallery later. Stay tuned...

My folks had such a great time that my dad is now calling himself a born-again 914 fan! He even put a deposit down on Leemon's conourse-condition original, one-owner 1.7 So we're about to become a 2 Teener family

This un-club is such a wonderful community...Thanks ya'll:clap:

Posted by: Porsche Rescue Jul 11 2006, 12:22 PM

Gwen, your dad and I talked a bit about that 1.7. Please share a pic of it when possible.

The boys and I had a great time meeting all the great pacific northwest folks. and the SF bunch again. enjoyed the trip up the OR.coast on the way

Thanks to all that put this together

Posted by: Jenny Jul 11 2006, 01:14 PM

seems to be a trend at WCC to buy or sell cars. We should do musical cars. Everyone arrives at the next WCC with a 914, and leaves with a different one. The following year, we swap again. That's a cheaper way to keep your car new and exciting!!

Jen

Posted by: grasshopper Jul 11 2006, 01:14 PM

Wow, what a great event! It would really be impossible to thank everyone who helped make it a great event, so everyone listed and just everyone else that showed up, THANK YOU! I cant wait for WCC 07!!!!

Posted by: grasshopper Jul 11 2006, 01:16 PM

what happens when you get some rusty old POS??

Posted by: McMark Jul 11 2006, 01:31 PM

You fix it.

Posted by: cassidy_bolger Jul 11 2006, 01:52 PM

Thanks to everyone for such a fun weekend right in my backyard. I feel really lucky on the timing. Being a newbie - my wife and I didn't know who we were talking to half the time and they didn't know us. But the good part is it didn't matter! Nice folks, good clean fun (we missed the yoga lessons).

It was also great to meet all the other Oregon 14'ers. We should keep in touch for when one of us gets pinned under a car someday.

Finally, let's be sure to keep that great Oregon weather as our little secret - don't want people getting any ideas.

Posted by: GTeener Jul 11 2006, 02:29 PM

I had no idea OR got that fuch'n hot!

Can we please pick somewhere cooler for next year event. 75 degrees F. would be perfect

Super-huge thanks to everyone who helped organise and sponsor the event. I had a blast.

Big thanks to Joe Sharp for sharing the tequila and neverland, also John Peterson for mixing drinks and Kite entertainment!

Big thanks to the entire Caravan and to Jim Tabor for the route up, the trip through the Avenue of the Giants, the Samoa cookhouse, and lots of good times!

Big thanks to my friend Larry and my wife for persuading me to take the 914 instead of wussing out and taking the Miata.

Thanks to everyone else who attended - I had a blast.

----

My car made from San Fran to Portland and back, put about 1500 miles on it - with no running problems whatsoever.... On the way back I did a straight shot starting in Portland at 6am (with the caravan, which I lost somehow) and made it back to SF at 4:15 or so in the afternoon. I filled up with gas on I5 in Portland, and again in Yreka, Ca. I averaged about 35mpg from Portland to Yreka. I got to work this morning on the same gas I bought in Yreka. Yay.

Posted by: Porsche Rescue Jul 11 2006, 03:27 PM

Gwen, I think that is a great car for the price. I also advised your dad to enjoy the 1.7 and not worry about 2 liter or 6 cyl "envy". That car is way too nice to be modified. He will love it. Besides, if he wants a cheap thrill, he can borrow yours.

Posted by: fiid Jul 11 2006, 03:52 PM

I forgot to thank the AZ guys for bringing BEER!!!! It was awesome - many thanks!

Posted by: SLITS Jul 11 2006, 03:58 PM

Are you sure that wasn't ale, steam, etc from the Neues Mexico Nueve Series Contigent........those AZ guys suck up Salt River Trash (Cave Creek Beer).

Posted by: MW 914 Jul 11 2006, 04:00 PM

As much as AZ would like the credit, it goes to Liz(Turtlegirl) from NM.

Posted by: MW 914 Jul 11 2006, 04:03 PM

Posted by: greenie Jul 12 2006, 09:40 AM

I think a great time was had by all!

A few thank yous :

To Craig for being such a gracious host and for that special goody bag.

To Dr. G & his beautiful wife , obviously proud of their city. Priceless to see the both of them all cleaned up in crisp white shirts in contrast to the rest of us completely frazzeled after the MT Hood run.

McMark for helping me with my fuel pump relay & hot start problem.

Sir Andy for being there.

Paul for bringing the entire family from Florida and riding with me around the track at PIR.

Joe Sharp gotta love the beer man!

Dino " the human beer opener"

WWC 07 here we come!

Posted by: BigDBass Jul 12 2006, 03:03 PM

So what were the goodies in the bags?!?!? Us poor non-attendees must have our faces rubbed in everything we missed.

Posted by: Mike D. Jul 12 2006, 03:34 PM

let see...
A leather Porsche key chain (mine was yellow so I just gained 1 HP.)
some black and chrome center cap stickers
Tommy Bahama Coffee Mug (thanks Craig)
Some Mequires car care samples
The official WCC'06 Hat
an '05 Porsche Historic Calender Book (probably expensive when new, wonder why they didn't run out )
Tickets to the Historic Races
Bottle of Casadores
and Directions to get lost on the tour

I think that was it, someone correct me if I'm wrong

Posted by: Gint Jul 12 2006, 03:45 PM

I actually like that coffee mug more than I thought I would. I used it for coffee all weekend. Woulda used it for beer, but because I didn't I still have the mug in one piece.

Posted by: URY914 Jul 12 2006, 09:15 PM

We just got back.

First I would like to thank Southwest Airlines. They got us home and back without a problem.

Next I want to thank everyone who had ANYTHING to do with the WCC.

And last, my family for coming with me. Actually they said I couldn't come without them.

Paul

PS. I was finally able to prove to my wife that you guys are real and I haven't been on-line dating for the last 3 years.

Posted by: MW 914 Jul 12 2006, 09:27 PM

It was nice to meet you Paul. It isn't often you get to meet the folks that live that far away!

Posted by: /L. Jul 12 2006, 09:51 PM

Thank you to the WCC team for putting this together. I had a great time meeting new folks and hanging with the familiar ones. And a big thanks to Craig for giving me a ride to the speedway. Great people, Great cars and a Great time.

A SUPER BIG THANK YOU FOR THE AWARD!!

Posted by: grasshopper Jul 12 2006, 10:03 PM

hey Linda, It was great meating you! Your car definetly earned "best four"!

Posted by: Heeltoe914 Jul 12 2006, 11:50 PM

Gwen tell your Dad I will contact him soon. As great as the white 914 is I still most make it clear that with about two days of detail touch-up it would be a show car in the drivers wash and shine class. I already miss it but I can tell its going to a good home. I think your dad will be very happy with the power of this little 1.7. I was and my other car is a 3.2 247 hp 914.

Posted by: BKLA Jul 13 2006, 09:39 AM

Here's a little anecdote that I thought you'd all appreciate.

A client of mine was in the Bay area this week and called me just a few moments ago after returning to Portland. He said he saw this yellow license plate in the back window of a 914 with my company's logo on it. (didn't get what color the car was, trailered or driven or who's car it might have been - but THANKS whom ever!) Of course he wanted to know more about it, why my logo was on a car in the Bay area and why an architecture firm would sponsor a club event.

Needless to say, but that conversation alone made the sponsorship worthwhile.

Thanks to everyone involved for a great event. I met some great people, even though I'm not a drinker or big partyer. My son loved it and met heeltoe914's son - who also races karts!

good times!
