Well, this looks like its humming right along, yea eric, I know where a ton of indian ruins are but you aren't going to get to them in a teener LOL. Sept. is a good month, the knats won't drive you crazy. 3 day event sounds just great. Lot of things to do in Moab. Could drive down to Newspaper Rock, and then into canyon lands, wooden shoe arch, then a bit of a hike into the mazes. The roads are in very good shape and there are some twistizes (sp). Great ride with the top off and a nice day,,, sure glad I have a front mounted oil cooler.

Joe, that would be great... and extremely appreciated.

what kind of wonderful "event" ideas can we plan?

b

I like the idea of having the event run from Friday to Sunday. So I guess we're talking about 9/16/05-9/18/05.

Friday should be for meeting people as they arrive from around the region and shooting the shit. Dedicated parking at the host hotel would be good and dinner/beer at an appropriate local establishment. I would be willing to make these arrangements.

Saturday, I would defer to Eric and his contacts to set up a twisty tour of the area. Perhaps set it up as a poker run style event where we could give out some *sponsor* goodies.

We should discuss Sunday and take a poll of how many attendees would need to leave mid day versus how many could stay until the afternoon. Then, we could make an appropriate plan.

I like the sound of how this is all coming together. I know the area pretty well, and unless a lot has changed a good lot for auto-x may be hard to come by...
I also like the friday to sunday idea, plenty of time to hang out, and also let people do their own thing if they like.
I for sure will bring my bike and plan at least a slickrock ride sunday before I head back, anyone is welcome to join me.

Ferg.

9/23-25 is fine this me. Hopefully the CO weather will cooperate for the guys traversing the state.

Finishing at noon on Sunday would be fine. Perhaps a group lunch at a nice establishment. We'll need to come up with something engaging for that morning.

I checked the Moab calendar of events. There is a Chamber Music Festival Sept. 2 - 17. The following weekend would prolly be better with a few less peeps in town.

So Sunday morning...

how about a Two and a half hour tour and then a noon lunch gathering.

Which of these great locations would take around that long...

Ferg, you know the trails and I'm sure others do also.. So I think you should help lead a mountain bike option as one of the events...

Every 914 event doesn't have to include an AX IMO. I don't see the need for it.

9/23-24-25 works for me.

FYI: I got a call from one of the colorado guys (Rex, thanks for doing all of this) who wanted to explore the autox idea. He made some calls, and was told that the high school parking lot is big enough and is used for other events.. so could possibly be available..

If anyone feels strongly about following-up or pushing the auto-x idea, feel free.

I've never personally set up one and have no clue what the liability issues would be. Rex said that he also hasn't headed an auto-x so just wanted to let people know.

but here is the contact info anyways:
robert riberia is with the Moab travel council at 1-800-635-6622.

I'm ok either way, and we could always add events the following year if needed.

I have nothing against autocrossing but now you've made it a 4 day event. I agree with the "people arriving throughout Friday and probably leaving mid-day Sunday" thingy. If you want to make it Thursday-Sunday then you would have a day for autocrossing. Yes... it will take a full day. Even an early AM autocross probably won't end until 3:00PM.

I'm not sold on this being an autocross event. (I love to nail the cones but...) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

This is a great driving event. If you want to drive your teener on some of the finest roads our country has to offer, with some of the most fantastic scenery available this would be an event not to miss. The only problem I see is teeners driving off the road while gazing at beautiful red-rock cliffs through their top-less roof. I've been all over this fabulous country of ours and "this" is some of the most spectacular scenery I've "ever" seen. Only those who have been there will understand.

I see the following as a tentative:

Friday - Registration. Lunch. Colorado River Tour (back east of town). Dinner in town.
Saturday - Arches National Park. Lunch at Delicate Arch. Dinner in town.
Sunday - Newspaper Rock Tour. Lunch. Send-off.

-or-

Thursday - Registration. Lunch. Colorado River Tour (back east of town). Dinner in town.
Friday - Arches National Park. Lunch at Delicate Arch. Dinner in town.
Saturday - Autocross. Lunch. Autocross. Free-time. Dinner in town.
Sunday - Newspaper Rock Tour. Lunch. Send-off.

It looks to me like Porsche thought this was a nice place too. Used the area in their Carrera GT promotion.

I was going to jump in and say that was Nevada (they did most of their GT pre-launch publicity shots there) but nope... that's Utah.

So... if that clip doesn't give you a nut for next fall, you're probably brain dead (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

I mentioned that Jack has this shit down. Check out this Moab link:

Nice pictures at the bottom.

Vegas racer,

oops... I left our nevada..
of course anyone from any state would be welcome to attend.

(cept maybe ron/slits, cause we can't have his negative attitude and unhelpfullness drag us good folk down)

Hey, I like Grand Junction - if I parked the teener there for a day it would glow at night and then I wouldn't have to worry about head/tail lights (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm reasonably certain that some of the footage in that Carrera GT vid are taken on the road into Arches National Park. Sure looks familiar.
