We will definitely be there, Who are the people in charge of the event this year? We want to make some donations to the raffle.

That would be Howard, you may want to PM him for more information. Thats great that you will be there this year, I was hoping to meet you at the last one. I look forward to meeting you.

Well, I guess I've gotta be there. No excuses this year. I already told Slits I'd buy him a beer, so I pretty much have to be there. Plenty of advanced notice, so I should be able to have enough saved by then. Now, the question is, do I drive or fly? And if I drive, do I dare bring the teener? How many other western Canadians are gonna go? Maybe we could convoy down. Strength on numbers and all.

I don't know if I'll be able to make it because my job has a bad habit of ruining my plans from time to time. In 2001-2002 they sent me out of country for 12 months and I wasn't able to bring the wife and kids. THAT SUCKED! Anyway, if I could make it, maybe we folk from the North could arrange a couple pick-up points to meet and convoy down. I'm very near to Boise, Idaho so that would work or perhaps Eugene, Oregon or Salt Lake City, Utah depending on the route people are taking. I hope my car will be ready for an extended trip by then. Also remember that much of the West has 75mph expressway speed limits so be sure the car is up to sustained high speed driving. Mapquest shows Salt Lake as the best meetin place for me to catch a convoy from Regina, SK.

Looks like a really nice place!!

As long as the cost stays down, then I think we'll be good!

How long I get to be there depends on how much school I can miss (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I don't want to get too specific about the various events and venue since this is far in advance and much could be subject to change. But here are some basics that should not.

'Track' event wil be full day 914club rental of 'Streets' course at Willow Springs Monday, 5/2. R&T uses it for their comparison testing, so look at some of their issues for notes and pictures. The track is very technical. Not high speed, but more the kind of situations you would run into in spirited street driving. No timing, no wheel to wheel racing, and passing only in very limited places. Cars started 20 seconds apart. There is only one spot on main straight where you may exceed freeway speeds, and then not by much. Kinda like a fast AutoX w/o the damn orange thingies.

Track day will be Monday, there will be no extra charge for attending, and strongly advise all who can show up. A fun event, not a race.

Bikes: Track rules won't allow bikes and cars on the track at the same time. Because of the tight turns it is not well suited to you cafe racers, but if we get enough people interested (say 10) we can have a separate run group for bikes.

Here's a picture of the track. We will not run the northern loop as it has a high speed banked turn where you can hurt yourself. Visit the Willow Springs site for more info.

Hotel. Cost will be $60 to $90 per night rooms to suites. Will try to have Hotel comp a couple of suites for hospitality rooms that could also be used as no charge crash pads for starving students and such. Bring a sleeping bag.

As stated before, the main venue will be Friday night thru Sunday afternoon. There will be activities for early arrivals Thursdayand Friday, and of course the track on Monday. One entry fee will cover all but extra meals, accomodations and special events Thursday and Friday.

Track tour. Before you all kick my ass on this...

Sorry for the big size. This was the first time out on a track in almost 35 years, and first time trying to make a movie. Suzi was still silver at that time, prior to getting nailed in the parking lot. First try

We (wife and I) should be able to make it. I am reasonably certain that my car will be running by then.......If not I'm bringing the Boxster! I bought a laser marking machine which comes in in October. I am willing to laser etch some kind of plaque out of stainless steel or brushed aluminum for participants as my contribution. Design your logo yet?

Nice video Howard, where were all the other cars when you shot it. Now the out of towners can practice at night. A fast car can top 120 on the straight so I'm going to stay out of your way when your on the freeway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Wow, I gotta get me a twin plug 6! Can't get Suzi past 80's on the straight, not that I ever try to drive that fast on the FWY (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) That was at the Shelby club open track. Not too many cars and they were starting us 30 seconds apart. I'll try to dig up some more.

Andyrew, actually it's a pretty straight line all the way to Modesto from there, so go for it. Will give you skid pad for 20 minute burnout demo, but do bring the trailer if you want to take it home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Patrick, that sounds really elegant. Thank you.

Timing is everything.

Last night, I was speaking on the telephone with another 914Club member. Part of our conversation was about the WCC, in particular WCC 2005. My wife overheard my end of the conversation. When I got off the phone she asked, "What about going to California?" I told her about the WCC and said that I was considering going next year. She just rolled her eyes and said, "Whatever". For those of you not married, this is very far from having approval.

Today, we went out and bought her a new car. Now, this wasn't an overt bribe. We had been planning on this for a little while. But, it did help to grease the skids. On our way back from the dealership, I more earnestly stated "I think that I'm going to go to California at the end of April". She was much more receptive to the suggestion. She said, "Tell me about this WCC thing". I was in the middle of my explanation when we arrived home.

There, waiting for me, was my copy of Excellence that came in the mail today. While I finished my explanation, I flipped it open to page 147. My wife said, "You should go". Then, I turned the page. She saw the picture of Brad's ass. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) Now, she is considering attending as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

End result, I'm in!.

I'm still working to get past the "whatever" stage. It might be a long cold winter.
