(i get tired of looking for the old thread)

Our host hotel is going to be http://www.laquintamoab.com/
La Quinta Inn - 815 S. Main Street - Moab, Utah 84532 - 435.259.8700

Rooms are $95 +tax


I have 35 rooms reserved, but I suggest you book soon, because we used all of them last year, and every other hotel in Moab seems to be booked this year.
If there is a problem booking a room, please send me a pm, and I'll fix it for you.

When you call in, tell them you are with the clubNARP or 914World group, and you will receive the discounted rate.

We are trying to work out the event registration fee right now, and are waiting for price quotes from the restaurants. As you know, all of the money from last year went to all of your meals, and anything left over was donated to CHARITY. Last year's recipient of the charity funds ($1500) cried at the presentation. It was pretty moving.

We anticipate the registration fee for the event will be no more than $70 this year.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking forward to another fantastic time in Moab this year with 914's from all over the country.

Make sure you mark these dates on your calender now:

September 21-23......................

Moab has some incredible mountain roads and scenery like no other in the country.
Should be another fantastic time in MOAB this year.

Looking forward to the rolling beer kegs on hotel luggage carts again.

I should be collecting royalties for every use of my photo. I could probably retire by now - or at least pay for the rear bearings that I'm putting in so my car can get to Moab in September!

Posted by: TROJANMAN Jul 31 2007, 11:05 AM

haha
What about the use of my image?

Posted by: Aaron Cox Jul 31 2007, 11:49 AM

i could get a minor in possession misdemeanor for that picture.....

Posted by: TROJANMAN Jul 31 2007, 11:55 AM

Only if they carbon date it. Aren't you "legal" now?

Posted by: SLITS Jul 31 2007, 12:43 PM

Yes, he came out of the closet shortly after that picture was taken.

Posted by: McMark Jul 31 2007, 04:15 PM

Hot damn I'm excited!

Posted by: jaminM3 Jul 31 2007, 04:59 PM

Reserved...

I love Moab!!!

I go there to Mountain bike, 4x4, road bike and now 914 touring..

NICE!

Posted by: Grimstead Jul 31 2007, 05:02 PM

Is it because Moab is coming up or that Aaron is legal?

Posted by: SLITS Jul 31 2007, 06:02 PM

With a tag of Rubberboy .... what would be your guess?

Posted by: akellym Jul 31 2007, 06:39 PM

I just hate businesses that treat custormers poorly. I just called La Quinta to reserve a room and was told they were to busy to help me..

Posted by: SirAndy Jul 31 2007, 07:20 PM

same here ...


Andy

Posted by: TROJANMAN Jul 31 2007, 08:56 PM

Wow

Did you guys call the local number, or the 800 number?
The local number is what we've been using.

They have actually been very accomadating.

I'll call my contact in the morning and let them know. Maybe they'll give us a bigger discount

but let me know that you made your reservation, so that she can reference it

Posted by: GWN7 Jul 31 2007, 09:12 PM

I called and got some woman yelling at her kids in Spanish.

Hung up.

Called back got a very nice girl who took my reservation.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Jul 31 2007, 10:14 PM

Made an early reservation, just contacted Brant to pony up some fees ?

Looking forward to another cool 914 event

I did get a room. Had to call the 800#, they try tell they were full and then they said there was no club rate for us. But we got a room that's all that counts. I did call the local number the 1st time I got the girl telling me I would have to call back and the 2nd time I got the guy telling he was to busy.

Posted by: mikelsr Aug 1 2007, 07:05 AM

You have to look at it from their side also. If they were in the middle of a big rush and had lots of people checking in and out when they get a phone call, who do they service first. Hard to answer. Isn't it better to tell you they are busy and to call back or to put you on hold for a long time?

I've the same type of problem at an auto parts store. I am in the middle of being helped, they are looking up parts for me and the phone rings. They stop to answer the phone and go on to answer that persons questions. Pisses me off. I asked a friend who works at a parts store why they did that. He told me that he knows how much of a sale I will be making from the questions I have already asked, he doesn't know how much of a sale the phone will bring. It might be a $1000.00. So they answer the phone.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 1 2007, 11:07 AM

My apologies to those that called last night and had troubles with registering.
It turns out that the girl you probably spoke to is working her last shift tonight.
The hotel manager is going to have a word with her about last night's phone calls.

If you would like to call back during the day, please call the (435) number and ask for Kelly or Cindy.

Posted by: McMark Aug 1 2007, 11:13 AM

Wow, thanks for following up with that Greg!

It's nice to have an answer.

Posted by: AZ914 Aug 1 2007, 02:26 PM

Speaking of which... does anyone have that Moab picture of Ernie push-starting his car?

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 1 2007, 02:48 PM

You mean BOB push starting Ernie's car?

Posted by: jimtab Aug 2 2007, 01:19 AM

What happens in Moab...stays in Moab.....don't worry your pretty head....

Posted by: davesprinkle Aug 11 2007, 10:44 AM

The Events forum should probably have a thread about this event. I couldn't find anything there regarding a 2007 RRC.

Posted by: jaminM3 Aug 14 2007, 12:07 PM

Email sent.

I love MOAB!!!!

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 14 2007, 12:26 PM

It's not in the events forum here.
Click the link in my Sig

Posted by: Gint Aug 14 2007, 10:41 PM

Why not?

Posted by: ThinAir Aug 15 2007, 02:50 AM

I'm hoping my new hi-torque mini-starter will finally put an end to the need for such maneuvers. Two years in a row is embarrassing. I figure this year is my year to give back by pushing someone else!

Hey - is Bob coming?

Posted by: Ferg Aug 15 2007, 09:09 AM

Welcome to the all Moab all the time channel

Notice Ernie's car is pointed downhill

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 15 2007, 09:25 AM

I never thought that was updated.
Don't worry, it's not in the driving events forum on NARP either.
And doesn't an ADMIN have to put it there???
If you guys want to make it PINK like you did for the WCC, that would probably be helpful.
I think there are 3 or 4 of these threads floating around here somewhere, but they always seem to get buried.

Where have you been? I've been callin ya.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 15 2007, 09:27 AM

That's b/c we learned our lesson a 1/2 mile before


I think Brant has 25+ registrations so far. Most of the regulars have yet to register, but we figure they are shoe ins.

I don't remember what the cut off date is, but this year, it will effect what you get in your goody bag. I have to order that stuff pretty soon.

Posted by: StratPlayer Aug 15 2007, 03:30 PM

Just hoping I'm well enough to make it. Have my room reservered, just not sure how well I'll be doing by the time this event happens. Gotta get my car inspected and emission tested this month. Here hoping.....

Posted by: brant Aug 15 2007, 10:25 PM

Ernie,

I'm going to send him this thread.
not sure he has it planned, but I'll send him this invite!
brant

Posted by: ThinAir Aug 15 2007, 10:37 PM

Indeed! I missed him last year.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 16 2007, 10:53 PM

Only a few days left ot guarantee yourself a spot at the hotel.
After that the rooms go back to the gen pop.

Posted by: AZ914 Aug 17 2007, 09:19 AM

Yeah, thats the pic!!

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 21 2007, 01:05 PM

Howard won't be there this year, but I think I have just about convinced his daughter to come along for the ride

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 22 2007, 12:11 PM

***********

I just spoke to the HOTEL.

Our group reserved 27 rooms. The remaining rooms were given back to their National reservation desk. However, I sweet talked them into giving us 5 MORE ROOMS for reservations. If you have not booked a room, you only have 9 days to do so. She said that the hotel is pretty much full at this point, so this is a last chance offer

Oh shit, that's a sweet pic!! Whose cars? Left-to-right please.

John, ?, Brant, AA, Linda

Posted by: jimtab Aug 22 2007, 06:13 PM

So now you can see the type of individuals that would opt for a BLACK car over the more popular Zambezi Green models.....

Posted by: ThinAir Aug 22 2007, 06:57 PM

I'd be really worried about that guy in the purple hat...

Hi John!

Posted by: fiid Aug 27 2007, 04:08 PM

Posted by: SirAndy Aug 27 2007, 04:34 PM

ever heard of a "bookmark" ???
Andy

Posted by: fiid Aug 27 2007, 04:52 PM

Is that what Germans use to buy novels?

Posted by: SirAndy Aug 27 2007, 06:20 PM

we don't "buy" novels, we write them!

Posted by: SLITS Aug 27 2007, 08:53 PM

Mein ..... ............ Naw, that would be stirring the shit to much

Posted by: brant Aug 27 2007, 10:36 PM

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 28 2007, 05:30 PM

From what I understand, Burnt Bread, or "Cheers" was trying to be coy

Posted by: SLITS Aug 28 2007, 05:32 PM

Well, that's an oxymoron .... "Burnt Bread being coy" ......

Posted by: ThinAir Aug 28 2007, 11:58 PM

WOW! This is a real honor.

Posted by: fiid Aug 29 2007, 03:53 PM

John

Posted by: TROJANMAN Sep 12 2007, 05:45 PM

Yes Sir. And thank you once again.

Delicato has been more than generous..

This is a charitable event, and all donations are greatly appreciated.

It was nice of you, and your company, to step up once again and help support our event

We thank ALL of our sponsors

Forecast is for "isolated" T Storms. I wouldn't sweat it.
That usually equates to a passing evening shower.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Sep 18 2007, 03:09 PM

PROPOSED SCHEDULE:

Friday

Arrivals all day

4:30 - Sunset drive through Arches National Park. No guide is planned, so everyone is on their own. There's only one way in and out, so it's unlikely that even Brian could get lost.

7:30 - BBQ at the Hotel (provided)

Saturday

9:30 - Rise and Shine Show in Parking Lot

11:00 - Leave for group drive through the La Salle Mountains.

12:30ish - Group lunch (provided) at the Dino Tracks

1:30ish - Drive down canyon (past the red cliffs lodge)

After 1:30 you're on your own until dinner. Mrs. Brant is planning a hike for those of you who are interested. It will not be anything to difficult.
If anyone is interested in leading a group drive, after the morning drive, feel free to do so.

6:15 - Dinnerat the Red Cliffs Lodge (provided)
Awards will be presented, as well as a charity raffle.

Sunday

Breakfast Buffet at the Red Cliffs Lodge

They have reserved the banquet room for us. The cost is $12.95 per person, and I hear it is quite tasty.

Bye - bye

Hey Trojanman! I got a warning that they are doing construction on the La Salle Loop road. There is a 100 mile bicycle ride that is planned for October 6th.

Here is a snippet:

The Bridge is still out! We announced the final word a month ago that the Federal Highway Administration's construction of the bridge along the LaSal Loop road used previously at the Moab Century Tour would not be ready in time for the October 6th ride.

I don't know the exact route you have planned but I thought you would like to know that there is a bridge out and you can't complete a loop.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Sep 19 2007, 04:02 PM

Thanks. I'll have to call the forest service. I am trying to remember where there was a bridge on the loop

Posted by: Gint Sep 19 2007, 07:58 PM

The LaSal loop road runs off of 128 and then back to 128 (a loop). But 128 should be open.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Sep 19 2007, 08:59 PM

I called the restaurant, and they said the road does not loop through. No biggie. We have alternatives
