This is great news I'll have to see if I can clear a spot in work to go. The only bummer is we will have to put up with Rob's daily bumps to this thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I am a PCA region board member now and have plenty of other tasks so bumping will be minimal until then. |

Betsy and I are coming down. I already marked the time off. I have a too short list of projects this year. Change the oil, adjust the valves, clean the air filters and check the balance of the throttle bodies. I need a project.

Party at the pond! Lots to do - gambling, fishing, driving, bullshitting in the parking lot, maybe an autocross if I can get it on the SVR-PCA Schedule, Oooogling the cars. Who's going to be there? Z. lives about 20 miles away now days so that is a lock. Rand is just 10 miles further than Z.. The Southern California crowd has always represented... How about you??? Attached image(s)

So I've decided to go to this thing.
I have two questions. 1. I haven't seen hotel rates yet and I'm guessing it's a little too soon for that. I'd like to get my reservations as early as possible. I noticed there was a hotel already chosen but I didn't see that there was a special rate or anything. Should I wait or make my reservation now? 2. I don't have a super nice 914 like most of you guys. It was a basket case when I bought it and I haven't had it a year yet so it's far from completion. I'll be in this ugly thing pictured below. It's looks may improve a bit by then but I doubt it. Count on the ugly ass skunk stripes to be off of the hood, though. So, will I be able to park it with the rest of your nice rides or will I be out on the street with the toyotas?

All the rates at Tahoe are pretty 'special' right now... I wouldn't worry about it. Occupancy is down, resorts are closing, the recovery hasn't gotten there just yet.
The weekend may change too... I have seen much uglier cars front and center. We love them all... QUOTE(Shade Tree @ Dec 23 2009, 11:12 AM) So I've decided to go to this thing.
