The Host hotel is Laquinta in White City.
Thursday night meet & greet. Friday Looks like Brittain is willing to head up the AutoX setup. Although there isn't alot of that. It is more the logistic side of making sure we know there rules & follow them. BBQ lunch provided Saturday Show & shine to start the day. Then drive up to Crater Lake with a lunch somewhere in Route. Possibly have the show & shine that night (If not Saturday morning). Catered dinner & awards Sunday Is pretty much our standard SEE YAH (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . There will be an optional drive to the coast. Everyone is welcome to head that way then break off. Or just head home as they want. Okay well this is the first of many posts for next years WCR Ramble. I do plan to make this the best overal WCR to date (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) |

Jamie sorry I didn't call you back, we did get cut off. I was in Medford to get a tooth pulled so I was feeling no pain. Anyways, When I came back was tired and the Vicadin kicked in and I was out. Did some emergency plumbing (The water well decided to not work) today with the father-in-law! It has been a eventful two days so far.
Okay, Jim Puehl (SSCC President) said November is the time the clubs get together and start going through the schedules. Now, he did say that it was a good possibilty that we could get a friday, Saturday and Sunday in June. But it depends on who's having what events. As you know they have several clubs that share the track. Besides the SSCC and the Karters there are a MR2 club, Fiat Club, Motorcycle Club and even the Medford police use it for training. I am going to send him a short "we would like" list of dates. So he can put our names in the hat. He was really cool with that and prefered we give him the dates in advance. The rules and regulations that their club abides by are on their site and Jim said they are pretty much standard rules, except the rule that requires rolebars. The track doesn't require them but the club does. Now, we can use the club equipment which consists of the timing light, cones, flags, fire extinguishers and etc. Jim only asked for two things; that we give a donation to the club for the use of the fore mentioned materials and that there be a SSCC club member be at the event to help set-up / run the equipment. As far as what the amount of the donation would be, Jim said there really was no set amount and that it would go for a vote to determine that. He did give a range amount as far as one of the small clubs gives them a 200 hundred donation and the larger clubs give a 1000 dollar donation. If we decide on just a friday than I believe that would be the easier out of the two reservations. We would have to wait till the end of the year to find out for a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Not impossible but a little more difficult! I will ask him if we do decide to go with a three day reservation what the track regulations are for "After" the event like overnite camping, Alchohol, fires and etc. The track is in a Sports Park next to the Oval track, Drag Strip and butts up to a Gun / Rifle range. John (JakeOdoule), there is a "La Quinta" Hotel literally 2 miles away just off highway 140. La Quinta Inn on Google Maps Let me know how to proceed gentlemen? Drew. *NOTE: Jim did say we have to wait till the end of this year to find out regardless of one or three day event. |

This is the main reason I think we just go for a friday. I think our odds are pretty good of getting a friday if we let them know. Especially in the month of May. June was a much heavier month for events. No matter what we do we cannot guarantee a date at the track before the first of the year or November when they plan. I think a weekend is just to much track time & not needed. One day is perfect for us as we will have plenty to do on the other days. My recomendation is we shoot for May 20th as our Friday for the AutoX. That would put our event Thursday the 19th -Sunday the 22nd of May. There will still be a chance we may not have the track for an AutoX. If that is the case we will just do an extra fun run to the coast. Giving Jim the SCCA president our friday wil amke their planning much more managable. I am pretty confident this will work out & we would get the track. This way Jim can plan to get the track that weekend. It will make things easier as their setup will allready be going out there. Not to mention our costs will go way down. We wil just piggyback on their event so insurance & track rental will be less. I also like having the track day on friday as it will get more people there earlier. While May is no lock to have nice sunny weather. We are pretty much guaranteed managble weather for everyones travel. I know members are chomping at the bit for dates. I would like to post them this week if we can agree on them. Please everyone chime in with your thoughts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
