I'm not sure what I could do from T town but, I'd like to help out for a Portland gig. I'd love to see a WCC there. If asphalt can be found it would be a gas. But, if it can't here is a real longshot. When PNWR PCA runs their AX at Bremerton there is a whole lot of empty asphalt that makes a real nice long AX course (I've run it for a driver skills day). The problem is it's a very long ways from Portland. Would people consider a combo Portland / Puget Sound WCC?

I have no idea if we could partner with the PCA or Bremerton Sports Car club at Bremerton but, the asphalt is there.

It seems to me the core activity is AX or track time and it seems that Portland could have a problem with that.

Vegas does have a lot to offer, but I don't know if it is the best place for a WCC. 1.) There is a lot of open desert to cross to get here. 2.) There are only short sections of twisty roads around town. 3.) Traffic really sucks heading back to Cali on Sunday. 4.) Limited number of Club members in town to help with planning. Personally, I would rather go to Reno / Tahoe if that is a real option. I volunteered my services just so we would have another option. I really like the idea of moving the WCC around to as many cities as possible. Anything 'West of the Rockies' qualifies as a potential site in my book.

VegasRacer pretty much summed up Vegas.
It's the entertainment, not the roads why people come.
Spring Mtn track in nice, not too expensive, probably available... but it's about an hour something to get to.
All our twisty roads are like .25 mile long and 20 miles to get there. The Lake Mead road (previous Boxster club trip) is like driving offroad now and patroled by federal cops.
True, the Summerlin casinos would love business... I mean a group like us, but Mt Charleston or the Red Rock loop can't accomodate 70+ cars above normal weekend activity.

And from the posts so far, I think group seperation is going to be a big problem with family members wanting to do everything but 914 stuff.

-SEMA is in November. Weather is nice in Nov. Hmmmm, the Terible Traffic Tour to the convention center for a walk among eye candy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Vegas- a great place to play, but not for car clubs.

I'm up for Portland in June, July, or Aug - mainly cause I've never been there (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) I'll have plenty of vacation time and maybe some money even too.

Reno was nice in 02 or 03. I'd do that again.
