Yes...that was one of the big selling points. Have you ever seen what Tahoe looks like during a summer weekend BEFORE school gets out? We'd be lucky to get 2 miles in during our 4 hour drive!

QUOTE(rdauenhauer @ Sep 7 2009, 08:55 AM)  QUOTE(biosurfer1 @ Aug 5 2009, 03:39 PM) snip.... I think Tahoe is such a great venue...plenty of other stuff for the family to do, not just 24/7 914's...for the weirdo's who dont like that kind of thing:) Umm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I think the local is a great Idea and I really want to attend but, did anyone consider that the 9/17, 18, 19th is AFTER school starts in the fall? Yes Rich it was considered. In fact it should clear up some of the normal congestion that Tahoe gets before school is in session. We haven't decided what to do with Nicho yet. We will probably just have him stay with a classmate for the weekend. Many of us have empty nests and others have not started a family yet. Nicho is such a good student that we may even pull him out Thursday Friday and let him come... The school discourages it but he is so far ahead of the curve he could use the handicap. Really smart like McMark but better looking! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

San Mateo is close enough to the ocean that it gets salt sea air instead of salted roads... Still good though. |

The time left to get your 914 ready for WCR 2010 is about to click under a year. This coming weekend will be roughly one year from the big event! I know I have work to do. How about you? Attached image(s)

See what I mean? You literally can just point the camera in almost any direction and shoot. The beauty is prolific, ubiquitous if we use McMark's word of the day... Be sure to make your plans to come to the WCR 2010 at Lake Tahoe... Attached image(s)

About one year from now, we will be meeting to kick off WCR 2010 at Lake Tahoe. Some tips for a stress free event from the participant side: Be sure to request the time off when you preschedule vacation if that is your company policy. Be sure to save enough of your vacation time so that your request doesn't get turned down. Be sure to have all the projects wrapped up and allow for testing time especially if you are driving to the event! Be sure to bring beer money because it is your turn to buy!

So what did the WCR 2010 team do yesterday? We were on a double-secret recon mission (ok, we announced it every day for a month so it wasn't that secret). We went up to Tahoe in a caravan of three cars, all six cylinders for you six vs. four asshats. Paul in his black 3.6, me in my Carrera 3.2, and Justin in his 3.0. We intended to check the parking lot and attend the Cool September Days Event that we will partner with next year. The economy has been hard on the event this year and Tom the organizer said he was down about 100 cars. We saw at least 100 so it was still substantial. The lot is not perfect for the autocross but few are and it will do nicely. What follows is a picture-fest of what I thought was cool and interesting. I was a heavily influenced by my father in my teens who was a street rod guy but somehow veered to the sports car side when I discovered autocrossing. These first three pictures include a Ghia that was for sale for $8K, Paul's 3.6, and my Carrera (sorry Justin, you just barely appear beyond my camera hog Carrera), and some of my favorite street rods, a 50's Chevrolet pickup.
