The $150.00 is for registration into the A/X right? I don't think I'll be able do do that part. Work sucks.

Posted by: Howard Nov 11 2004, 03:51 PM

$150 is the whole enchilada..meals listed, events, goodie bag, raffle stuff. Same $$ whether you go to track or not.

Posted by: brant Nov 11 2004, 03:52 PM

clarify the track fee...
I'm assuming its on top of the $150?

brant

Posted by: Howard Nov 11 2004, 04:01 PM

Only if you want to make a charitable contribution

$150 includes the track event.

Posted by: Jenny Nov 11 2004, 04:32 PM

Yes, Howard, but what about the track fee?

Jen

Posted by: Meredith Nov 11 2004, 04:46 PM

Can you tell me what the track fee is?

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 11 2004, 05:14 PM

not if your name is Miles ...

Made my reservation today; told them I was with 914 club and wanted the "special" rate... sid the special is $119 !

Has anyone else got the $89 rate ?

Posted by: Howard Nov 17 2004, 10:14 AM

Jim, you're back to the $89 rate. Donate savings to Special Olympics?

Posted by: GTeener Nov 17 2004, 01:17 PM

So is the $150 for the Track Day part?

Posted by: Howard Nov 17 2004, 01:30 PM

Gwen, did Jen and Mer put you up to this?

There is only one entry fee, whether you go to the track or not.

Posted by: jimtab Nov 17 2004, 06:23 PM

You'd better check your reservations, I just got off the phone with them and they said they are not taking ANY reservations for 2005 until the 2nd week of December??? So, Howard, wasssup? BTW I'm locked and loaded for the 22-23 at the Hampton, when do you want the 150.00?

Posted by: Howard Nov 17 2004, 06:42 PM

Yikes! So much for my career as a travel agent. I'll give them another call

Posted by: ! Nov 17 2004, 07:12 PM

For you cheap bastards....mom in law has a ranch/farm out in Lancaster Quartz Hills....maybe I can get an OK for a camping thing on the grounds????

Anyone interested?

Posted by: neo914-6 Nov 17 2004, 10:13 PM

Howard,
What are the approximate distances? It takes a long time to get to each side of LA much less between Camarillo, Paramount Ranch, and Lancaster/Willow Springs track.
Felix

Posted by: VegasRacer Nov 17 2004, 10:17 PM

Mer - I think it is a typo.
Howard just left out the letter 'R'.
There is no track fee. The track is free.

Posted by: Howard Nov 17 2004, 10:47 PM

Felix, glad you asked so I can brag a bit

One of the biggest problems we faced was avoiding LA traffic. That's why Camarillo was selected for the starting point. The Inland empire and San Diego/Orange county guys get stuck, but they have a shorter drive than you NorCal types.

All of the events are located north or west of LA. If you map Bay area to Camarillo, there are no real traffic spots on that route. Camarillo to Paramount is less than 20 miles by freeway, but we'll make it much longer with Mulholland Highway twisty tour and poker run.

The trip from Camarillo to Lancaster is serious, almost 90 miles. But by doing this mid day Sunday, and not going through the city, it shouldn't take more than 1.5 hours. All freeway with some 70mph limit. Leaving the track late in the day Monday is likewise easy. Straight shot via 138 to I5 for youse guys, and SoCal members would head back against rush hour traffic.

All this could blow up, of course, with one Sigalert, but we tried.

Posted by: Meredith Nov 18 2004, 12:47 AM

If it makes you feel any better, I got the joke.

And in case you didn't hear me, I GOT THE JOKE!





The track is FREE?! Why didn't he just say so?!

Posted by: GWN7 Nov 18 2004, 08:32 AM

So can I order one of the 914club hats. I missed them the first time.......Opps wrong thread



See you all there in 05

Posted by: rhodyguy Nov 18 2004, 11:35 AM

you can never start planing too early. just for drill i checked out expedia for the route to camarillo. their directions take the I5-405-101 drive, right into the belly of the beast. what is hwy 126 like? 16 hrs and change.

Posted by: Howard Nov 18 2004, 11:46 AM

Really depends on your ETA. 405/101 is brutal during rush hours in either direction, but shortest. Good news is you only have to face it on incoming trip. 126 is very open.

The trick is getting from the 5 to the 101. You may want to do it just south of the bay area as the 101, while a bit longer, is much prettier, and you'll have to face the 5 boredom going home. Just my dos centavos.

Posted by: ! Nov 18 2004, 12:33 PM

126 is nice....just been redone. It connects the 101 to the I 5....

Posted by: Howard Nov 18 2004, 02:06 PM

Jim, all fixed, but you better call them again to verify. See first post for updated details.

Posted by: neo914-6 Nov 18 2004, 03:26 PM

Howard,
Even if my car is in shape for the long drive, I doubt I will last the long harsh ride, no heat, and no tunes. Now I'm thinking semi-trailering a bunch of us down. I'll bet that will be a rare site.

Avoid LA traffic: Check

Howard,

Besides I can't afford that extra TRACK FEE!

Hey I lived in the San Gabriel valley smoke pit for 4 years...that's why I came back to the Bay Area

I'll bet there will be more NorCal attendees than SoCal.

alison, i (and other college teachers/profs i know) let my students reschedule exams etc. whenever they have a conference or a trip directly related to their field of study. it may require a bit of flexibility and extra work on their part, but it's almost always negotiable.*

Sooooo, the onerous is on you to find a "conference" or "event" related to your studies -- show up for the keynote, and then spend the rest of the weekend with us!

Alison (with one L).........You mean you ACTUALLY go to class and show up to sit a final? I've always wondered what "Sitting a Final" actually means. My random thoughts bring a vision of sitting at a desk, bouncing pencils by the eraser. Is a #2 required for this "in depth" testing?

Posted by: Alison Baker Nov 29 2004, 09:54 PM

I am going to try my hardest and get off on friday and the Monday...if that fails I will see if I can find someone to drive with me

What do you teach ? Is it in School or College ?

I am majoring in Criminal Justice Bachelors Degree........gonna be a Forensic Scientist

Nearest real golf course 30 miles away, so come down early or stay later if you wanna play.

Andy (drew365) will be posting the actual rules, but usual stuff: battery (if you can pull hard and it doesn't move, it's OK), wheel bearings, brakes and lights. Helmets, belts, 'really' open cars (not teeners or targas) need roll bar.

Posted by: skline Dec 17 2004, 06:12 PM

So when you say open cars, does that mean I have to run with the top on? I know it has the factory targa roll bar but some places require you to have the top on the car if it is a solid top convertible. Could you please clarify this for me?

Posted by: drew365 Dec 23 2004, 07:37 PM

I got in late last night from NYC. I just want to do a quick post here so you guys don't think I'm ignoring you.
Tech inspection will cover all the obvious items you already know about. Main items would be:
Battery, securely in place, not wobbly.
Brake pads, the track is tough on pads, if you're at or below 1/4 pad put on new ones before you get to the track.
No brake fluid leaks
Wheel bearings not worn.
Brake lights working.
I promise to get a complete list together soon and post it for all to see.

Posted by: Demick Dec 29 2004, 05:13 PM

I called the Hampton Inn, and they think that the 914 Club is scheduled for the weekend of April 29th. I told them that I would contact you to clear up any discrepancies.

Posted by: Alison Baker Dec 31 2004, 04:50 PM

Ok Howard,Lisa & Scott.........I am not able to attend WCC 2005, School and job hunting will be taking place..If it were end of May I could make it so I hope you all have a good time ( school ends 5th May and I have 2 wks off before I can start a job in Forensic Science) If I can make it down for one day I will , but you all have a guid time.

Posted by: neo914-6 Jan 1 2005, 05:39 PM

Howard,
The people at the Hampton reserved the 29th and 30th stating this is when the 914 event starts. Can you confirm or deny so I can get this straightened out?
Felix

Posted by: Part Pricer Jan 1 2005, 06:03 PM

Yea, this is getting a little confusing.

At first, the dates were to be 4/22 through 4/24. Then Howard announced that the dates had to be moved to a week later (due to a track scheduling conflict I think). The new dates were set as April 29th through May 1st.

Now, the first post in this thread reflects the 4/22 through 4/24 dates. The signup form indicates the 4/22 through 4/24 dates. And, the sponsors letter gives the dates as 4/22 through 4/24. I don't remember anything about the dates being set back to the originals.

So, the dates are (pick one):
4/22 through 4/24
4/29 through 5/01

Posted by: drew365 Jan 1 2005, 07:44 PM

The original dates were April 29,30, May 1,2. We had to move the event forward because our track date that was reserved was given to a bigger fish (Mazda). The dates that are at the beggining of this thread, 4/22 - 4/25, are correct as are the dates on the sign up sheet. If the Hamptons needs to be straightened out, I'm sure Howard will take care of it. He went out on the Hangover Run today and is probably recuperating.

Posted by: Howard Jan 2 2005, 12:30 PM

Dates as per updated first post are correct. Hotel front desk is a bit confused, called them again today, and they'll get over it.

Just so you don't need to go thru the whole thread, Willow cancelled the original date we wanted so all moved on week earlier and will remain that way.

Has anybody made plans for the drive down from the SF Bay Area yet or is this a new thread topic?

Me too...Howard, the check's in the mail...including the track fee. Rooms booked before christmas. We should try for a big-ass convoy from the bay area...that would be too cool.

Is there a WCC 05 registration deadline? (I'm financially embarrased right now and can't yet put forth the funds)

Posted by: Howard Jan 5 2005, 03:57 PM

your credit is good here but please send registration and book rooms as soon as you can.

Please! I'll be driving my 914 down. Brian will follow in Subie with our dogs. But it'll be helpful and a lot less stressful (mentally) if there's a gaggle of 914 peeps traveling together.

Howard, Sat & Sun breakfasts... Are those for people staying at the particular hotels, or is breakfast for all WCC attendees? I will be staying in Newbury park Fri and Sat night, and get a room at Lancaster Sun night.

Breakfast for Hotel guests, but since they are continental buffets, and each room could have 1, 2 or 3 guests, don't know how they will keep track. And you can just stare at me with those eyes and I'll certainly toss you some scraps

Major would be LAX or Burbank. Unless you fly Navy, than it would be Point Hueneme.

Posted by: drew365 Jan 6 2005, 09:41 PM

Probably not specific for the Hampton, but definately one for either Ventura or Santa Barbara that would drop you at the Hampton. Or you could rent a car a LAX and take it to the track. I won't tell.

Posted by: ! Jan 6 2005, 09:43 PM

Santa Barbara Air Bus can drop you off on the way from LAX to Santa Barbara....you might wanna call the Hampton and see if they have their own van...pretty good chance they do....they also have Super Shuttles that do the LAX to Ventura runs on the half hour....

Best to check the LAX website....they have links to all the shuttles and limo services.....prolly a good idea if you coordinate with the other outta townies and share a ride.

BTW....LAX is RIGHT next to Pelican Parts in El Segundo....old time 914 concour weenie Don of Don and Glenn's Barbeque fame works there again........maybe Howie can talk Wayne into a welcome wagon seeing how we spend a lot of money there....

Thanks for the info Mike. Wife is thinking about flying in instead of driving out. I'm trying to figure out how to get her from the airport to the hotel. Or when I need to be checked in so I can pick her up on time. Still in the planning stages.

I kind of wanted to drive out in the Alien but it's a long way and the car is still in the test mule stage. I may put it on the trailer tow it with the mothership.

Posted by: drew365 Jan 6 2005, 11:10 PM

Rick; if you're driving, I'm sure we can make arrangements to get your wife picked up at LAX and waiting for you at someones house so she wouldn't have to wait for you and the caravan to hit LAX which isn't real caravan friendly. Just a thought, LAX is no big deal to a veteran but can be a little overwhelming for a newb.

I thought if I checked in the Hotel on Thursday I could plan on her flying in on Friday am. But if there's a way she can get herself to the hotel that may be better. Were working on it. I'm hunting for the thread where ejm posted his possible flight plans. I think he posted something about getting a rental car from the airport. If the flights arrive around the same time maybe Sandy can hitch a ride with him. Lots of options....

Posted by: Howard Jan 7 2005, 12:08 AM

Rick, not to worry. Someone will get them. And our house is only a few miles from hotel and really near the LAX shuttle stop.

Everything is on the first page or shown as a link from there. The rest of it is just fun stuff, and typical 914club hijacking.

Jen, can't speak for everyone, but IMHO activities around the Pruneyard Inn last year were a blast. Chinese dinner, Suck for a Buck, Translating Scottish to English, etc. I'm trying to have more of that, so hope all will stay as a group. I will be at Hampton Fri and Sat nights and booked a suite at Lancaster for Sun and Mon nights, so we have a 'headquarters'.

I'm sending my form (and check even!) today.

As for the swap meet, how about a virtual swap meet thread.. people can list what they want, what they have, and make the deals before the wcc even happens.. then we can just swap money and parts when we get there. That way people won't have to bring unsold stuff home. I used to love swap meets.. until I started selling at them... so boring, and it sucks to have to pack up 80-90% of what you brought because you can't even give it away

Posted by: boxstr Jan 13 2005, 10:41 AM

Royce, Welcome to the world of swap meets, pack up, unpack,pack up, unpack. The idea of a virtual swap meet is great.
Only thing is most people want the the stuff know, so you might get an order to bring a part to the WCC but they may have found it sooner or at a better price.
If you get paid for the part first then bring it, that could work.
I will bring the items I sell online at WWW. CAMP914.COM, plus a few more goodies. Looks like I won't be driving a 914 down.

Bondo, if you want to do it, great. I will link to 'home' page. And for everyone, how about just bringing some stuff you don't need, donate to the raffle/auction (remember, it's Special Olympics) and get a receipt for write off.

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 13 2005, 12:47 PM

howard, will the fee for attending be tax deductable? there was some mention of that in the beginning. will you be notifying people of reciept of payment or will we have to wait for it to show up on our bank statement? i sent mine last week. thanks for all the work.

kevin

Posted by: Howard Jan 13 2005, 01:05 PM

I am not a CPA. Refer to page one:
Event will be held to benefit Special Olympics, so your entry fee may be tax deductible.
No receipt will be sent.

Posted by: bondo Jan 13 2005, 01:12 PM

My understanding of donations is they are only deductable if you get nothing in return. Entry into the WCC is something, so I'm guessing it's not. Also, if you buy something at the raffle/auction, that wouldn't be deductable either. But if you donate something to be auctioned or raffled, that would be deductable. I could be wrong here, but in my experience that's the way it seems to work.

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 13 2005, 01:17 PM

i was just wondering. when public tv has their pledge drives, you get a "gift" for donating, and the donation is deductable. hope you got my check.

Is there an extra track fee for him? or did the club just rent the track for the day and you'll pass him by as a kid that doesnt need to pay (you know.. some resteraunts dont charge for kids..)

So....

2 people racing one car (if thats possible) is it an extra bit of money?
