Hey Guys,

If you haven't been on the forum lately.....

The WCR 2008 will be held in Seattle next year! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

From the initial announcement a theme has already developed....

It rains alot, it's not SoCal, and it's "in the middle of nowhere." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I love it!! I can see the banner already:

" NARP , Not a Real Club , Now Meeting "In the Middle of Nowhere"

We all drive 914s, we're used to this kinda stuff! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

We have so much to offer to this event, so many choices with so much variety, a mountain drive, a drive around the sound, ferry ride, seattle icons to visit, track or autocross event, on & on& on... the region is so diverse and our time is short.


I need some help putting the initial plan and timetable together.

Please try to attend one of the first meetings. Get your ideas in early, get involved, these meetings will be key to making this event a great success.

Let's meet at my house in Issaquah, (near Sammamish State Park)

10:00 AM Saturday 11/10/07 ( This Saturday)

and optional date for those that want to but can't make Saturday:

7:00 PM Tuesday 11/13/07 ( I'll supply the beer)

Please PM me & I'll give address & directions to my house.

My Cell # 425-681-5438

Curt

Who will be in charge of lodging?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Might I suggest that after picking a hotel as the ground zero, it is the responsibility of those attending to make there own reservation.
That way they only have themselves to blame if they are overcharged or do not get a room or whatever.
But after the WCC here in PDX, they one thing to get out of the way early is the lodging.

I hear it rains soooooooooooooo much in Seattle that everyone has permanent foot fungus... AND it is in the MIDDLE OF FREAKIN' NOWHERE!!!

Actually, the event should have quite a turn out... All we have to do is misspell a couple of words so people think we are having the G8 Summit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Course the ass whoopin' from the Seattle PD will be a bit of a downer.

Seriously guys, start planning for Seattle. They have a Starbucks there. The first one, actually. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Hey Dan and Rich, If you guys are going on Tuesday I think I could make it Tuesday night. Let me know.

The weather and drives up here during the summer are generally good. I love the NW roads. The past few years have been rather warm too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

what are the preliminary dates we are looking at for this?
I hope to be back from deployment by then and still have time for some finishing touches to do before I can take baby out to play.

I will try to make Tuesday as well. Some ideas
Kartenspeil run (poker)
Port Townsend run
Levenworth
La Conner
Bremmerton Auto x for the club?

Tulalip is putting in a Hotel up here. I like Clearwater, but I think they just got promoted to a 5 star hotel ( new years is 300 a night two night minimum) and may be a bit pricy. On the other hand, a hotel south would provide easier access to downtown.
I really like the idea of getting as many people as possible on a Ferry and getting a picture. Edmonds ferry seems like the logical choice.

Heck,
There are 9 Starbucks in little o' Redmond alone. 3 of them within less than 2 blocks from one another. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)


I won't be able to make the first two meetings but I am hoping to pitch in somehow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
