The Silver Star Swap meet and Concourse is on Sunday Oct 8. Perhaps we could do a gitogether after? Don't know how good my place would be, I will mention it to the wife, but she does not seem too keen on gatherings at the house.
We could always hit that sports bar by Michael's house on Fair Oaks Blvd, or Swabbies on the river out by the airport, or do a cookout scene at a local park, Goethe Park is not too far from Silver Star, or perhaps hit one of the local Brew Pubs 
Rubicon or Sacramento Brew Co, microbrew is almost never a bad thing.
NE1 interested?

I am in! My place is always ok or where ever. Just let me know.

Did someone say swap meet?! Please share details if you have been to this before...is it their parts only? Locals with their "garage sales"? Private industry vendors? A 914 swap meet + afternoon BBQ makes for a nice Sunday. Although, I should stay at home and work on the car.

I always keep meaning to go to this one. Next weekend might finally work for me.

As of today I plan on going to the swap meet. Anything after is icing on the cake. Mmmmm ... cake ... count me in unless my wife decides I have other plans

In the past this has been a smallish but worthwhile swap meet. Not all 914 but some stuff... You guys need to be aware that this year is going to be a little different. PCA SVR has piggybacked a zone concours event into the formerly smallish event. If Niello earlier in the year is any indication, their might well be 75 -100 cars at this event just in the concours.
That said, this is the anniversary of Michaels first BBQ at he and Wanda's pad...
How about we all go to someplace new and cool.... Ideas?
Posted by: Tobra Sep 30 2006, 08:23 AM
Question #1, do we want to cook out, go to a bar or go to a house. My vote would be for Michael's crib. There are several restaurants near Sunrise and US 50 though, including Rudy's if you are into surf and turf, though I guess that one is closer to Hazel.
Silver Star is closed, technically, on Sundays, which is why they do it then. I am told that a few years ago a guy showed up with a tractor trailer full of 914 stuff and was actually giving it away. Which is pretty sweet, unless you are my friend Jim who brought a low boy trailer out trying to sell stuff, pissed him right off...but it meant he had more stuff to toss in when I bought my car
Posted by: porschecb Sep 30 2006, 09:31 AM
My question is how can Silver Star handle that many cars? Last time I was there (2 years ago) they had a car show w/swap meet and i saw room for maybe 25-35 cars in the front parking lot. 
Posted by: Alison Baker Sep 30 2006, 12:27 PM
Martin & I will have you guy's over at our place after the Swap Meet....Just bring

Say when, got the sway bars and brakes hooked up. Where you AX? Had to bleed the brakes a couple of times after replacing the rubber hoses to get it to hook up, still need to do the vent clearance in the back, keep putting PB Blaster on the adjuster, sort of want to have the new adjuster available, in case it gets damaged.
Sweet wheels, I got some Pedrini's I need to do. What appened to that deal on the 27th up in Willows any way?

have to get a helmet, or do I for AX?

I can answer that... You do need a helmet but most people when they are starting out use a loner helmet from the club. All you need for the loner helmet is a valid drivers license.
Posted by: Tobra Oct 3 2006, 07:24 PM
Might as well get one, will need it sooner or later, what spec will I need?
Figure SA 2005, or whatever the 2005 one is, Snell/Ansi?

Latest Snell will do you just fine. Avoid Motorcycle helmets as they are a different spec apparently and according to the rules are not allowed. Though generally no one says anything.

Went to Tognottis, all they had was SA2000 and M2000(M is for motorcycle, right?) Any suggestions for sources on a helmet? Maybe this should be in another thread. See you Sunday Alison, thanks for the offer to invade your sanctuary
Posted by: Martin Baker Oct 4 2006, 04:58 PM
Several on-line places for Race equipment. I want an Arai GP Jet for my next helmet. Perfect for AX.
Posted by: porschecb Oct 5 2006, 08:20 PM
Any time frame? I think Rob wants to enter one or more of his cars. He my want to see the outcome? I don't think so tho. ??? 1:00 ish?
Posted by: Martin Baker Oct 5 2006, 09:59 PM
Not sure, Alison does not want to stay for the whole deal, I do, ah marrige. More when we know. I just took for granted that everyone would show up after the swap meet/concour. Not sure how I am gettin my parts there yet. Lot to work out in the next couple of days...

Martin,
The wife has a good sized SUV and I have a buddy with a pickup I could borrow, let me know, even planned to go to the bank and get change for a few 20's, just in case
May just borrow on the helmet first time out.

Good idea... Helmets are kind of in flux if I recall correctly. A new Snell rating is being phased in... Make sure you get the latest Snell rating. Google the site.
I am planning on bringing one car. The Silver one. I do plan on staying until the results are announced just to hang with friends and see the cars. I have no doubt Martin would win with the new blue six in Comp Special Interest if he had autocrossed or DE in it this year. He loses 10 points for not having done that. That car is the most developed club racer 914 I have seen that is still streetable.
You guys don't miss the BBQ.
Posted by: Martin Baker Oct 6 2006, 01:15 PM

That would be great, I would greatly apprieciate that. Let me know what to do to make it happen. Will return with a full tank of gas, so PM with the details, or respond here.

Martin

Well Baker, Martin Q... You have been a busy boy. Nice job on the vinyl. Did you paint the bumper before you installed it? I seem to recall that it was all white before. Dude if that car had tits my paws would be all over them!
By the way... I did buy a taildragger today.

Martin, Very cool. I love the new GT look front end. Especially the graphic on the front bumper that says "TREKKOR! MOVE OVER - FASTER CAR PASSING" printed backwards so it can be seen in a rear view mirror...
I got quite sun baked. Lots of cool cars. The 356 coupe that won Peoples Choice was actually a gift from the guys uncle. But before you start thinking the guy was a lucky bastard I should tell you his dad got a 550 Speedster! Dude! Nice uncle!
Coolest cars I saw were an 89 Club Sport (owned by a 914Club guy), a late RS America, and a real M471 914-6. The latter was Black and we saw it at CRAB. It is in need of a restoration but it is driveable.

Sorry I missed the BBQ 
, but we were helping our oldest move out on his own this weekend
I was only able to slip away during the morning. There were some beautiful cars there this morning.
A monthly type of get together sounds good. Has anyone considered meeting for breakfast/coffee on say the second sat. of each month? I am suggesting this because my wife meets with a bunch of her friends on that schedule, and I have time to spare then.

Bill, Although the second Saturday would be closest to the 14th which would be appropriate, the consensus was that breakfast was not something we wanted to do. Too many of us, I guess, are not morning people.

Wait till you hear Sister Alison and the choir! I don't understand a word they sing but it is a beautiful sound none the less. I hear they have a wonderful rendition of the old hymn "Get those mud flaps off Rob!" I have heard the choir practicing this one a lot lately...
It was a great day... Thanks especially to Martin and Alison for cutting their own fun at the car show and swap meet short so they could go back and prepare to host us all for the BBQ... Thanks as always to Stern and Katiya for providing my dog Chloe with something interesting to sniff when I get home.
