Back to the top with this. 46 people have down loaded the registration form in less than a week. Thats about half way to my goal.

Posted by: 6freak Feb 26 2009, 12:27 PM

Hello Joe! sooo 91.46 covers all events, 4 meals" one per day?", track day and AX...And no speciel deals on hotels...both hotels close to everything? and witch one is headquarters ..i didnt see an address to send the registration to...P.S i will share a room with someone to help cut cost so if you know of anyone set me up
Thanks
Mike Crandall

Posted by: Joe Sharp Feb 26 2009, 07:55 PM

Excuse me Mike, the $91.46 covers you for 4 meals, they are.
The "Q" at the Meet and Greet Friday night,
the "Q" on the ride Saturday afternoon,
The Awards Ceremonie dinner
and lunch at The Streets of Willow.

The Streets of Willow is also inclued but if you want to do an A/X that is also on the same weekend at El Toro, you'll have to sing up and pay the PCA OCR. Sunday is our travle day and you will have time to do their A/X and get to the Awards Ceremonie Dinner by 7:30.
The rate that we have been quoted at The Double Tree Inn in Irvine is $89 per night. Not a great rate but the nicest hotel that we have stayed at for a 914 event.
The rate that we have been quoted at The Inn of Lancaster is $79 per night and that is where we stayed in 2005. Thats the best rates we have been able to get at this time. Those are the Headquarters that we will be using. The Inn of Lancaster is where Tech for The Streets of Willow will be held.
Team NARP's Headquarters address is at the bottom of the registration form.
I hope this clears up and questions about the A/X as it is not part of The West Cost Ramble. It is a PCA event.

Posted by: 6freak Feb 27 2009, 08:45 AM

Got it...... Thanks Joe!!!............so too put it out there again I`m willing to share accomadations at both places ....we can help each other save a good chunk of change

The score as it stands tonight 2/28
31 people on the poll say they are going to be here.
51 people have downloaded the registration form.
9 people have paid.
I think we are doing rather well for the end of the first week.
The event has $784.64 in the bank.
Oh Yeah.
Check the lead post to see who we have recieved money from.

I will also be coming. I was hoping to bring my Dad again, but my Mom is not in very good shape and he doesn't want to leave her alone. We went to the last one together and met Howard and the gang. We had a blast!! We only showed up for the track event and Howard was nice enough to save my award, tshirt, etc, for me not knowing for sure that I was going to show up. What an amazing Man loved by all. He will definetly never be forgotten.
I will get my form sent out tomorrow.

Posted by: Joe Sharp Mar 18 2009, 10:05 AM

Sorry Jim you are talking to the correct hotel. I don't have time this week to strighten this out. The price that quoted Rick is an on line price that anyone can get. We had talked to them about a block of 40 room and only got a price of 89. They have not been very cooperative. It is a very nice hotel and in a great location for us.

Posted by: 6freak Mar 18 2009, 10:17 AM

189.00 vs 89.00 Will be a deal breaker for me..Lets hope it the lower price ..or maybe they can throw in a few hookers ....lmao ...just kid`n

(She needs breakfast or it can be a tough morning for everyone around). I saw $98 a night for 2 queens.

Yes, I called the number on the registration form. They looked and looked for a 914 world, WCR 914 club, porsche anything. The person I spoke with stated if there is a discount that he should have offered they will be able to offer it even when checking in.

Call the number on the registration form.

See ya there!

$7.00 bucks a nite to park. ...seems silly that you have to pay for parking .are we going to have a roped off section for 914`s only ..and do i have to pay double for truck and trailer

Posted by: DNHunt Mar 19 2009, 12:59 PM

Try $30 a night at the Edgewater in Seattle. The door man had his hand out too. I felt a major craving for wine and cheese. Fortunately, my wife had packed a couple of bottles of beer so, I was saved. I'll NEVER stay there again. $7.00 doesn't seem too bad.

Val's and my registration went into the mail this morning. Hopefully it will actually arrive....(can't trust those postal workers).

Looking forward to it! We actually got our rate at the Double Tree down to $98 a night. (for some reason they charge more if you want to stay on a weekday.)

We plan on arriving Monday the 11th and staying in Anaheim for a couple nights for Disneyland, then moving down the highway a bit on Friday to the Double Tree. We will come up and watch at Streets, then go spend Monday night in Vegas. We will have our daughters with us, so our partying will be kept to a minimum...but I am sure we will enjoy!!

Looking forward to seeing the friends we have met again, and meeting those friends we have not!

Mr Sharp ...do we need track cert. to run at Willows

The only thing I recall from 2005 at the Streets is a requirement for a helmet and a long sleeved shirt. I'm not sure but I also think they required the roof to be on the car. (I also vaguely remember standing on top of NEVERLAND and rocking it back and forth.) I don't think a track cert. is needed.

Posted by: Joe Sharp Apr 20 2009, 08:26 AM

Sorry Mike, no track cert. This is driver training for those who have never been on a track. Nothing more than autocross inspections.
Oh and yes it is Ben.

Check is in the mail...

In order to save money (and my marriage) I will be driving back and forth from the local events and then staying the night Sunday night in Lancaster for the track day.

If so, I was just wondering how the racers view it, because I was working on a project proposal near it on I-5, and we saw it as a potential plus for what we planned - e.g.: a decent hotel/motel, restaurant, fuel & C-store, etc. & maybe even some rental shop space for racers there & at the NASCAR track to the south (which is now also stopped!).

Posted by: mwyatt May 2 2009, 12:28 AM

I can't make it for the whole weekend (and my car will likely still be on jackstands), but I'd still like to stop by and see all the cars and meet some fellow 914 enthusiasts. Is there a schedule published somewhere?

Posted by: Sleepin May 2 2009, 10:01 AM

12 days!

Posted by: Joe Sharp May 2 2009, 10:14 AM

This has been a problem for me from the begining. It is not my purpose to stop party crashing. I would like to have as many people stop by as possible but this party belongs to those that have paid the registration fees. Our schedule will be given out at registration, at the hotel in Irvine. Come to the Meet and Greet on Friday night and talk to us. I'm sure you will find us very accommodating. As far the exact time of each part of the event goes, who the Fuch knows, these are 914's and we can never tell when we will arrive.

Joe,

Is there a registration "time". I'm local so I won't be staying at the Irvine Hotel, but would still like to get the schedule.

Posted by: Helix914 May 2 2009, 12:23 PM

I live 5 minutes from Irvine and would like to roll over to the Friday night Meet & Greet in my "just painted, freshly re-upholstered" '74 2.0 to say Hi and see some other 914s. ...But what time?

I'm not planning to go to all of the scheduled events, but I will be at Cars-n-Coffee on Saturday morning... I'm usually out there most Saturdays. This will be the first time I bring the 914 out though... it's been in a state of restoration for about a year and a half.

So what time Friday evening?

There will be three or maybe four cars leaving Santa Clarita (just north of LA, just south of the Grapevine) heading south around 1:00ish on Friday and we will be on I-5 going down...Anyone who might be going thru, we could form a herd and take em' by storm...

We talked about LeMans, and a few others.

The main feature is going to be the 'original' "Gone in 60 Seconds" (1974). I think hope you boys and girls like it.

They shot a lot of this locally (here in the South Bay) ... saw a lot of the filming in Redondo Beach and Torrance (my neighborhoods)

I have been working on the Alien since Friday night.

Pulled the timing belt, cooling tubes, Cam sprocket to fix an oil leak behind the sprocket. PITA!

Replaced the alternator. (70 amp Bosch to 140 amp small frame)

Replaced my cap, rotor and added a set of Megacor 8mm wires.

Adjusted my shift linkage.

Hard wired in a power inverter. ( I have to work in the car while Sandy drives... )

Hard wired in an accessory jack.

Rewired my fan relay and temp switch. I'm moving the temp switch from the radiator to the engine block. I had a huge fitting to attach to the head. It took hours to make a plate with the temp switch fit. I had to rewire the power from the front of the car to the rear. Remove the consule for access... I am having the engine temp turn the fans on instead of the radiator temp. This should keep my engine cooler this year. I had my block bored out and it heat up faster with thinner cylinders walls.

Tomorrow, change the oil and filter

Lean out the injection.

Check the tires, pack the car. I'm picking up Sandy at 4:30 Tuesday. and we hit the road!

One of the first things I did to our '71 was to install a Sony CD/MP3 player and ran the 'hot' lead to a 'hot' source on the fuse box

... so we don't need to leave the ignition on when parked in a romantic setting overlooking the Pacific Ocean from high atop the cliffs of the Palos Verdes Peninsula on a hot balmy evening


... however, I think Steve mentioned something about providing a portable sound system as well as a projector - you know, for those who might start congregating around the snack bar NEVERLAND instead of sitting in their car(s)

I don't know ... I've never attempted anything like this before.

What is required for the track on Monday? Running 914 that passes tech inspection on Sunday, driver, helmet, long pants, longsleave shirt? Am I missing anything? Don't want to forget to pack something important.

Anyone comin' south on I-5, if you want to, we can form a herd and head south from here in Santa Clarita...Some of the folks from PNW may stop in and we already have at least three cars...Would like to leave before 1 in hopes of beating some of the heaviest traffic...

Coming south on I-5, get off at Rye Canyon exit (on the right, the one before Magic Mountain and the 1st as you come into Santa Clarita)...Turn Left...1st stop light is Rye Canyon...Turn Left...1st stop light is Avenue Stanford...Turn Left...1st two story building on your left, maybe 500 yds...You will see the old beat -up Speed Yellow teener sittin' out front...

The other guys are itchy to leave eariler the better...If we don't get outta here by 1, we will be sitting on the I-405 parking lot for a long time...At 1, we might just beat the traffic...

Lemme' know...via PM...

Last day at work before packing and heading down. Tested an in car video mount today and it worked fantastic. Almost killed my wife's HD camera with all the bumps etc while testing the camera / mount. I was afraid that I had lost about 1 year of family recordings off the hard drive on the camera. Luckily after restoring the camera's software the files were still there. I will use a less sensitive camera.

Had a great time, this weekend, hate it, but have to start trip back today. Wished I could have seen cars on track Monday, that would have been awesome. Everone was so awesome, so much great information available. I can't believe how many great modified 6s & 8s are here. My brother's 8 would have fit right in, maybe next year. My 6 conversion didn't make it in time, but my 86 911 with 180k made 16 hour 1100 mile trip with only gas stops & handled trip better than I did, hopefully trip back goes smoothly.
