UPDATED INFO:
These dates are FIRM. May 13-16 is the event. Thursday is a 'bonus day', so if you can't make it, don't feel too bad and still come for Fri/Sat/Sun. Thursday Evening Check-in is open and we begin gathering on the roof of the ramp. Keg tap and official kick off of Eric Shea's Birthday... err... "the WCR 2010 Teeners in Thin Air". Friday Morning: optional short drive, tech sessions on subjects such as brakes, transmissions, alignment, wheel polishing, and more. Afternoon: peoples choice show and shine. Saturday Morning: Targa Tahoe drive gathering on the ramp. Evening: BBQ on the roof provided by WCR 2010 Teeners in Thin Air including raffle for sponsor donations, peoples choice car show awards. Sunday Check out and return to civilization. Alternative local area activities include the following: Fishing charters for groups of 4-9. Excursion and Interpretive History Boat Trips on the Lake (Covered Cabin with Windows if you don't want to be on deck). Golf on a world class PGA Course within walking distance of the hotel. Gambling. Many hotels including the host hotel have world class casinos for you to try your chances and win or lose some cash. Restaurants. The full range from 5Star to the lowest of bacteria holes. Independent drives around Lake Tahoe. Takes all day and requires a stop for food but the view of the lake is breathtaking. Photo opportunities. You can pretty much just keep tapping the shutter on your camera because the Lake and surrounding area are beautiful no matter which way you turn. Zip Line Rides. One of the local ski resorts has a ride up on the chair lift and zip line down. We think this costs about $60 but it would be a heck of a thrill ride. Lodging Harvey's Lake Tahoe will be ground zero. Harvey's will have a section of their parking structure blocked off for 914's and they have security 24/7. Harvey's is the highest ranked hotel in Tahoe according to tripadvisor.com. They have a great casino and I'm sure they will be stocked up with alcohol, not that any of you fine upstanding 914 World members drink of course Expedia is having a sale for Harvey's right now...for the same price we would have received! I don't know how long this sale will last, however if you book 2 nights or more, the price comes out to be the same we would have gotten with the group rate. Simply search on Expedia for South Lake Tahoe for the dates (May 13th-16th) and you'll see the discount for Harveys. The rates right now are $59/Thursday, $77/Friday and $97/Saturday. This averages out to $77/night if staying Thurs-Sunday... I would suggest booking sooner than later since this is a sale. I just found an Expedia coupon code that will save $10/night. Just enter 10WINTER when you are checking out...just worked for me, $67/night average!! Link to Harvey's on Expedia Registration Actual registration is now open. Click Here to sign up now, before rates increase! Before April 15: $50 per person, $30 for participating family members (who will eat with us) April 16 - May 1: $60 per person, $35 for additional May 1 - May 13: $70 per person, $40 for additional Original First Post: QUOTE Hey Folks, We've been working on getting the WCR 2010 in Tahoe event details finalized. The current plan is to have a solid four day event starting on the evening of Thurs May 13th and ending on Sunday May 16th. These are our preferred dates but we need to make sure they don't conflict with any Sacramento Valley PCA region track events. We're relying on them to host and insure the auto-x in Tahoe, so we have to work around their calendar. We'll know if this works with their schedule once they have their 2010 calendar completed in January and we'll update everyone as soon as we know one way or the other. These dates won't work for everyone, but please speak up now if you know of any conflicting Porsche related events that fall on this weekend. We'll take everything into consideration. |

I guess I need to revise my plan for finishing the car. Oh, that's right i didn't plan on driving it anyways. Maybe i should work on finding the right enclosed trailer.

Never thought about camping...though the way this year is going with the cold, there could still be snow!

Lake Tahoe is ~4,850 ft. in altitude. In May it will probably be pretty cold, with a good possibility of snow keeping the campgrounds closed. The average temperature for Tahoe in May is a high of 61 and a low of 32. If it ends up being a productive snow winter, you may need to count on hotel rooms, rather than camping. Eric |
