The Howard Dranow Memorial West Coast Ramble, May15th-18th 2009 Options

[JoeSharp]

I would like to take this time to invite anyone that has any interest in 914’s to come to the Howard Dranow Memorial West Coast Ramble. You do not have to own a 914 to attend this event. The agenda will be as follows.

Friday evening the 15th of May we will have a Meet and Greet at The Double Tree Inn in Irvine, Headquarters for the event.

Saturday morning starts off with Cars and Coffee, which is only 4 blocks away. After that we go back to the hotel for preparation for a drive to the beach and a Team NARP Bar-B-Q. Then we return to the Hotel for the 914 R/C Car Challenge. Then you are free for the evening.

Sunday we drive to Lancaster to The Inn of Lancaster for the Show and Shine and Tech Inspection in preparation for The Streets of Willow and the Awards Ceremonies. We have about 20 awards to hand out. Sometime durning the weekend we will have an auction and a Raffle.

Monday is Track Day. We have rented The Streets of Willow and have the track from 8am to 5pm. Corner workers will be provided so the only time you spend on the track is in a car.

I would like to thank Howard (God rest his soul) for the inspiration for this event as we are following the agenda from his event in 2005.
This event is being hosted by Team NARP and more information will be posted here and at Pelican as it becomes available.

Hey Kevin,
I'm open to whatever for driving down. I only took the 14,15 & the 18th off of work. So I'd be willing to leave Wednesday after work & go part way. Or just leave nce & early thursday morning. I would think we should get to at least Sac if not further south. If we go to Sac how much further to WCR? 4-5 hours driving? Really shouldn't be a problem to be there friday with plenty of time to spare. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Heck we got 3 months to get this planned. We should be able to figure it out in that time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Sackatomatoes would be a pretty easy drive from Corvallis. I left home at 8:00 and got there at 6:30, with well over an hour spent stopped for lunch and picking up a dashboard from some guy.

I'd say an easy 8 hours from Corvallis to Sac, and another 45 min or so to Stockton. I'm not real familiar with Cali, but I think things get pretty sparse after Stockton. Stockton to Irvine looks like another 6 hours or so.

Are you driving the V8, or trailering it?
