May 25-28 2007. Memorial Day weekend.

Located in and around Rio Rancho/Albuquerque, NM.

Registration is FREE!

Every attendee gets a FREE T-shirt or Hat. (We'll decide later)

Beer is FREE!

Most meals are FREE!


Nico, Liz, Luckie and myself are looking to put on the social event of 2007. We are paying for the shirts, beer and food so you don't have to.

My intention is to attempt to have the first mixing of Texans/Okies with the Westerners. I want to coax guys across the invisible barrier that seems to exist at the TX/NM state line.

Basic itinerary:

Friday:

Reception and Beer drinking.

Saturday:

Drive to Sandia Crest (about 45min to 10,300'). Group photos.
Drive home for cookout and beer.

Sunday:

Car wash.
Car show.
Cookout and beer.
Awards.

Monday:

Group breakfast.
Afternoon beers.



This event is intended to have less driving and more socializing. After all, you drove enough just to get here.

We have a dedicated brewery and a fun-loving staff. There will be no politics on this one. We are taking full financial responsibility, so we answer only to ourselves.

This is a general discussion thread. The official registration thread will follow some time next month.





Potential sponsors: Please PM me with offers.







Who's coming? 60 People! and 36 914s!

If you would like to attend, please let us know so we have some idea how many we can expect.

I'd like to see 40 cars.




Also, I request a logo from our graphically talented members.

It should incorporate these two symbols in some way:

The barrier exists because of the 500 miles of NOTHING between North TX and Albq.

Posted by: SLITS Nov 3 2006, 02:03 PM

I'm in and I'll bring my own radiation suit!!

Oh and add a shroom cloud to the logo!

Posted by: Brew Nov 3 2006, 02:13 PM

Interested!!

Posted by: jsteele22 Nov 3 2006, 02:15 PM

Sounds fun, but I don't think I'd go unless there was beer involved.

Posted by: rmconner Nov 3 2006, 02:16 PM

definitely not graphically talented, but here ya go

What's with the atomic theme? Los Alamos?

I'm definitely in
How can I turn something down that is only a couple hours away
Count me in

Posted by: tdgray Nov 3 2006, 02:31 PM

Atomic Wedgies and Free Beer.


WOW

Definately interested.

Mike's birthday is that weekend.

Posted by: maxwelj Nov 3 2006, 02:49 PM

I'm in! But I may not be a true test, as I grew up in the four corners before I moved to OK.

Posted by: MW 914 Nov 3 2006, 03:05 PM

I'm in. You seem like nice folks. I could probably manage to have a good time.

Joe - This will be the largest attended event in 914 history. That's what happens when you put the word "FREE" in a 914 invite.





what he isn't telling us is that the "free" beer is Hamm's and not the good Turtle Mountain stuff! You have to go to the champagne room for the good stuff

Posted by: Madswede Nov 3 2006, 03:07 PM

Probably so, in a way. If I know Joe, it's 'cos I'm gonna be there and I am well known for glowing in the dark and breaking Geiger counters at 3 meters. 10 years at LANL will do that to ya.

Speaking of Los Alamos, I was hoping we could do the Tour d' Jemez and head up to the Valle Grande, but that road is ... well, it can be heavily patrolled by both local and out-of-state blue-haired tourists. Thought I was gonna refer to the polizei, didn't ya? In any event, the drive up to Sandia Crest is actually very nice too, and has more opportunities to pull off to the side of the road and take unnecessary pictures of Slits doing something rude to Howard, or at least of everyone's cars.

By the way, before anyone asks, yes I'll be trading nuclear secrets for 914 parts (no more meth - they're cracking down on that) I'm trying to assemble my own teener from y'alls spare parts.

- Swede (Mad) aka Nelson - this is a joke by the way, for the LANL secutiry types reading my posts. No really, I'm kidding.

Posted by: 914nerd Nov 3 2006, 03:17 PM

As one of those LANL types, I think I am going to have to report you to the authorities, ya mad swede
and hey, there's nothing wrong with glowing in the dark, it makes the teener easier to see at night

Next thing you know, the FBI will be down there looking for you

The only problem is that I don't have that kind of authority (as a humble student)
oh well

Go glowing teeners

Posted by: TROJANMAN Nov 3 2006, 03:26 PM

mike,
this would probably be a good time for me to pick up my car from you.

Posted by: TINCAN914 Nov 3 2006, 03:40 PM

FREE, FREE, FREE, FREE.. FREE, FREE, FREE, FREE..FREE, FREE, FREE, FREE..FREE, FREE, FREE, FREE..????? Never use the words free and beer in the same sentence.
I might be able to make it. Would like to.. Would need to wait until it get's closer to be able to commit...

Posted by: Madswede Nov 3 2006, 03:48 PM

Well, I think you should put 'em on your car and make that the logo. See what I mean... ?

Posted by: Joe Sharp Nov 3 2006, 04:01 PM

I really appreaciate this. You guys are the first to go forward and provide an event without the normal cash up-front. I know we can have events that don't cost us BIG BUCKS. John Petterson is waiting for the PCA to post thier events calender to set a date for the TWVW, at which point we will attempt to do something similar.
A BIG THANKS to you, Joe, Niko Lauren and Liz

Since when was $150 big bucks? Just checking?

Posted by: GWN7 Nov 3 2006, 04:25 PM

I'm in....best way to spend a weekend I can think of

Brad, $150 can be a lot of $$ to: Students, unemployed, the retired or people with smaller incomes.............

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 3 2006, 04:29 PM

and we had joe o. bring us free beer on top of the $150 bucks. so, there you have it ...

i tend to agree, $150 once a year for a big event with lots of good stuff going on is not what i would call "big bucks".

i spent more than that on a normal weekend (even without the strippers) ...

Are you sure 400 is enough?

Posted by: jsteele22 Nov 3 2006, 04:54 PM

And with no registration fee, maybe you can afford the oil ........

Posted by: Toast Nov 3 2006, 04:55 PM

I wish I had $150 so I could replace that damn squeaky targa seal.

The (^(*&(*&) seal doesn't squeak .... the rubber pads do ..... Bruce, are you making them? If so send her a couple.

Posted by: vsg914 Nov 3 2006, 05:42 PM

Sounds great. I've made that trip in the 914 more than once. I drove from Tulsa to San Diego, and back. Got a friend in Las Vegas NM that I visit every year or so. But ya gota have beer!!!!!!

Posted by: Leo Imperial Nov 3 2006, 05:55 PM

Hmm,

1997.88 miles / 65 mph = 30.42 hours x 2 + free beer x 2 days
1997.88 x 2 / 25 mpg = 159.83 gallons
159.83 x $3.00 = $479.49
Free beer x 48 hrs = 3 bph (Beers per hour)@$3.33/beer

You say I get a free hat right?

i try to limit the amount of colors to lower the cost per shirt. since more colors equal more $$$.

Posted by: Series9 Nov 4 2006, 04:53 PM

Idea


Let's have a raffle. The winner gets a plane ticket on Southwest to attend the event.

Hopefully, someone from the east coast will win.

So now the event costs a little money. $8 each.

I do think this will be the same weekend as the PCA fiesta is normally held in Albq.

I believe that is a 100+ porsche car attended event.
I believe thay will be holding their annual autox at sandia, as well as their car show.

Its none of my business, but you may want to consider tagging onto some of their events.

they actually get a decent 914 turn out for fiesta from the colorado contingent.

Nice job on this Joe!

It is the same weekend as Fiesta. I'm more interested in pulling 914s from Fiesta to visit our event. PCA doesn't allow any participation without paying the full entry fee, so I won't be heading down.

Just saw this. Sounds like a blast.

Probably attend with the taildragger. (if there's enough gas stations evenly placed acorss the contentinent.

I've been told that this is not difficult to put on Tshirts, so here's the winner.

'914club.com' will stay. Thanks to some of our admins for that.

Thanks to Mike for the art.

That's going to be a 6 colour shirt (if you start with a yellow shirt)....

Posted by: Series9 Nov 11 2006, 02:32 PM

I'm not the expert on that. My expert (helomech) said 'no problem', so I defer to his knowledge.

Yeah, super duper, high speed, G14 Classified machine.

I've just confirmed the DONATION of the Southwest ticket by my employer!

Posted by: Series9 Nov 19 2006, 09:00 PM

So I'm thinking there's a fun competition somehow based on our splitter fun at Sharp's.

How about teams of 4 per car, 30 minutes, cardboard, tape and markers.

Best design wins.......something.





Perhaps Trekkor should get a free trip out for being a good sport. He could judge the contest.

Or at least an ACE Hardware?

Posted by: ThinAir914 Nov 21 2006, 12:49 AM

Well I was looking forward to the Route 66 Classic moving into a new phase by moving East for 2007, and it sounds like it's gonna be great, but it's on a holiday weekend which is already messed up by a niece that is graduating from HS on that Friday. So have fun gang, but I won't be able to make it.

Posted by: AZ914 Nov 21 2006, 08:56 AM

Bummer... I'm hitting a similar roadblock with the holiday weekend. Thats the front end of a house-boat week for us at Powell... ARG!

2007 finds me at a new job. Still doing Technical Writing, but now at a REAL tech company with a shorter commute and better salary

Not sure I can drive out, as that would require some vacation days I probably won't have, but I might be able to fly out and party

Posted by: rick 918-S Dec 28 2006, 08:14 PM

I was hoping to join the CO caravan.

Posted by: David_S Dec 28 2006, 09:52 PM

OK ....I haven't really followed this too much because of being busy at work and then all of the drama, but I am going to have to keep an eye on this. I may not have a driver, but I know where there is one for sale that the guy would probably let me drive.

Posted by: Crazyhippy Dec 28 2006, 10:36 PM

On the calendar... No promises yet though

Posted by: MBowman325 Dec 28 2006, 11:45 PM

Looks like I might get to make up for missing the MUSR this year! I plan on being there in one car or another. Albuquerque was only about 8-9 hours from WF. I'm bettin it's about the same from OKC. Looks like there oughta be plenty of people to "caravan" with out there! Have to see if I can put in for vacation this early. (I'm lovin working for Dell for so many reasons!)

Still need to bring that stub axle back to Dallas...

Posted by: ClayPerrine Dec 29 2006, 06:25 AM

Betty and I are planning on being there. With two 914s, we can take at least ONE of them and drive out.


If the OK guys are OK with it ,( HUH... I made a funny) we can pick a place to link the DFW and OK Caravans. WF or Abliene would be good. Let's see how many 914s we can get in a caravan headed west!

Posted by: MBowman325 Dec 29 2006, 10:57 AM

I'd be happy to link up in WF. My brother is sorta interested in going, but it's a long ways off to be positive.

Posted by: gopack Dec 29 2006, 01:04 PM

Not to stir up any dirt, (OK I Am troublemaker) but is the Tee shirt design going to have the "914WORLD" logo on it now, or club NARP, or what?

Also, If I can , please put my name in for the raffle SWA ticket. Is there a donation required to enter or what?

Maybe I should trailer my tub and parts down there and let the drunken hoard converge on it?
that would complete the circle: trailered from NM to ID, ID to WI and WI to NM, and then DRIVEN home!

Posted by: Joseph Mills Dec 29 2006, 03:07 PM

It's going to be additional miles for Okies to deviate from I-40. I suggest we all meet at my house.

Actually, I think Wichita Falls sounds acceptable and would be worth some extra miles to caravan with our TX bretheren and it would reduce a bit of the interstate boredom.

But Abiline???? Fergettaboutit!

Posted by: brant Dec 29 2006, 06:17 PM

Joseph,

are you going?
this is gonna be GREAT!

Posted by: Joseph Mills Dec 30 2006, 05:58 PM

Rea and I have been wanting to get out to the grand canyon and I'm going to try to coordinate that with the atomic ramble. It does sound like it will be a cool event for sure!

Rea had a great time at MUSR8 in Fort Smith this fall, so she's ready to try another P-car event.

I'm ready to make motel reservations. I guess I'm waiting on Joe to announce which ones will be in the vicinity of the events.

Look forward to seeing you guys!

..

Posted by: ClayPerrine Jan 1 2007, 07:10 PM

IT would be better for the DFW folks to meet up with the OKC folks in Amarillo. Thats where we would pick up I-40, and you would just come straight across.



It's about the halfway point, and it is 9.5 hours from DFW to ABQ. So we could all meet for lunch in Amarillo.


Now.... We need 2 things. Accommodation information from the event organizers, and we need to know who is going from both DFW and OKC so we can organize the respective caravans.

Posted by: dagdal1967 Jan 31 2007, 10:51 PM

Well, there has been nothing about this for a while (except in the "win a ticket" thread)...

What is the latest. Is it still on? I saw something on Club NARP about a golf tournament, but still haven't seen any info on Hotels, final numbers, who from DFW or OKC is going.

Any news???

I need to start making plans.

Posted by: r_towle Jan 31 2007, 11:12 PM

Talk to me about a route...
coming from MA...can we hook up somewhere...I may have to run north a bit...but it looks doable.

Rich

Posted by: rick 918-S Jan 31 2007, 11:39 PM

Talk to me about a route...

Rich,

Your about 1300 miles east of des Moines IA. If you stopped there and caught up on your sleep we could meet up and Roll straight through to Denver. If we talk nice to the Ginter's maybe we can crash on their couch again.

Mike and Sharon?

Posted by: Series9 Feb 1 2007, 04:00 PM

Hotel contact info will be put up next week. There won't be a host hotel because Turtle Mountain Brewing is hosting.

I'll simply put up the three locals and their rates. Each is less than a mile to the pub.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 1 2007, 04:03 PM

Happy Birthday Bitch!

Posted by: r_towle Feb 1 2007, 04:05 PM

Ok, so I leave the 24th, after work...
Then we head out on the 25th...to Denver?
Or am I a day off?
I could meet you there Thurs if that is the idea...
I am still mulling this over...but I have never done a 2500 mile road trip in a 914, so it may be fun.

Rich

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 1 2007, 05:02 PM

latest has me getting the 911 lisenced in Idaho at my Brothers address. Should be there.

Is there a spot, or a Y in the road from Denver where we can meet?

Posted by: StratPlayer Feb 1 2007, 05:45 PM

Eric, I plan on traveling with the colo. group. If your up and running maybe we can caravan to colo. and caravan to the Ramble with the colo. group.
