Asked wife, she says yes as long as she rides shotgun. Check!
Gramma said she'd fly out to babysit the youngun' for the weekend, Check!
Work schedule allows it, Check!

It's not supposed to be this easy. Clearly I'm missing something here...

Mike it sounds like you're flying into Oregon, would your schedule allow time for this? PM me...

Reid

what's the price for the actual event.

gotta know how much to save for, and figure out exactly I'm getting my car there...


ahh hell with it, I'll probably go no matter what, just eat ramen noodles till then since im a broke college kid


but I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sooooooooo excited

You and me both dude....

It's going to be cheap. We're not looking to make money and we just need to know that all expenses are covered. Name tags, t-shirts (which we may just have people order prior to the event) and at least one catered meal. I can only guesstimate that it's going to be around or less than $50/head. We'll try and get that nailed down shortly. I hate putting numbers out there because if it's more you're all going to hang me.

Ahh, I realized no track fee. Sounds cool though. I'll have to sort how I'll be bringing my teener up, but I'm def planning on going

I didn't get around to booking my hotel (6 days ago) till now! Son of a bitch it went up in price!

5/13: $119.00 $89.25 per night
5/14: $139.00 $104.25 per night
5/15: $149.00 $111.75 per night
Taxes & service fees $10.17 per night
Coupon -$30.00

Amount charged for hotel reservation $305.76

Regardless, we are there Thursday afternoon! Now time to get the Teener going or take the Jeep?


Dr. Evil or Jakeodoule, are you guys coming down 97 to 139 to 395 through Susanville?

Glad your going to make it Drew. We are booked Thursday too. Maybe we need to hook up to caravan down. Sounds like Mike & Jake are going through earlier. Anyway be happy to meet up somewhere in route on Thursday. Either way I can't wait

The price hasn't gone up, it appears they have sold out of the classic rooms for Friday night, so the only ones left are the Tower rooms which are more expensive.

I'll keep my eye out for more coupons or better deals...FYI for those out of the area, MontBleu is across the street and very nice. Right now they are about the same price as Harvey's, and you can still use the same coupon!

Oh, the itinerary didn't say anything like that? I'll have to look at it again. The wife will be happy about that! We (she) saw the tower room and wanted that instead. She's more like a hilton girl and I'm a Motel 6 kind of guy. She also isn't the most socialable. It's the initial meeting is what's hard but after she's golden. We would be interested in a few excursions and maybe the comedy club thing. She is excited to be going and so am I! It's going to be fun!!

That would be cool to caravan down. They did say Wednesday, thats cool. I have to get going on the Teener to drive down but the wife asked about towing her down. Maybe if I can get the flat tow kit. Anyone have one there not using that I can buy or borrow?

I do have a flat tow kit Drew. Not sure if I'll be using it though . If I don't you are welcome to it

I was just looking at purchasing one from dlee1967. I think I will just buy one (for future use) Thanks for the offer Jamie! The wife wants to ride down in comfort (jeep) rather than the Teener.

Hey Drew.
Not sure of our route yet. But prolly leave thursday morning and get to southern Oregon or northern Cali. Then cruise down the rest of the way Thursday.
Depending on weather, we may come down the valley and then over Crater Lake.
Or we may go down through eastern Oregon through Lakeview.
Thats a Loong drive for one day though. We'll see.
Jake
I can already taste all those beers you owe me...

Jake, I have the hotel booked from Thurs night to Sat night so it would be nice to get there Thurs to use it I am coming out Tues so we can leave Wed if you want. We can split the driving so one day is no issue (I drive like a coked up trucker).

woops!
Thats what I meant. leave wed, get to southern Oregon weds night. then head to Tahoe thursday.
Sorry.
Do what I mean not what I say'

S'what I thought.

Jake, I will be buying your beer for that long weekend! Probably will leave around 10ish A.M. on Thursday or when Jamie says he can be here? Supposedly a 7+ hour drive from K.Falls if I go down 139 to 395.

If you come down 58 from Eugene to get to 97 watch out when you come to Oakridge. I think you may know that It's one of Oregon's biggest speed traps! It's there best revenue next to the McDonalds and Dairy Queen. Looking forward to the weekend. It should be a blast!

Patience... We are meeting (most of us) Saturday and should be announcing registration next week.

Ah yes patience! Thank you Master Yoda.

Went skiing at a couple different places last weekend around Tahoe. Thought I'd share a couple pics of what you can see if you come to WCR.

Ridge just wide enough for the road, steep down both sides to the lake. Awesome drive.

Right after that last shot, you come into these corners. Laguna Seca has nothing on Tahoe's "corkscrew!" This is not far from South Tahoe where our WCR is based.

I'm getting sorta bummed about the class schedule next quarter. Not sure how WCR will work for me, maybe have to bunk with another member here, and maybe take my rsx since I might not have the teener with me (stays at my parents while I'm at school).

If anyone has extra room in their hotel let me know. I'll have a better idea of the logistics soon, but yea.

Thanks,
Ben

I probably will, unless the wife goes crazy and says she wants to come.

Huh? You'll fuchin be there if I have to stand you upright on my trailer and make you trailer surf all the way up the hill

OOOooops. . . Never mind. I just figured out you were saying you might have an extra room. I thought you meant you might not be coming

I know you've had a long day of battling The Great War Of The DJet.

Time to announce the registration fees for WCR Teeners at Tahoe!

Not quite ready for you to send your money so registration is not open yet, but we wanted you to know what the event itself will cost! So, yes - we know we haven't told you where to send checks or Paypal. Watch for that later, when we open registration!

Individual registration from the opening of registration until TAX DAY - April 15th will be: $50 individual - $30 additional for each family member who will participate in the event. After April 15th, $60 individual and $35 additional for each family member who will participate. After May 1st, registration goes up to $70 individual and $40 additional for each family member who will participate.

This gives you a little incentive to register early.

We define "family member who will participate in the event" as someone you bring that you expect us to feed at included meals and BBQ's and such...

WE TOLD YOU IT WOULD BE CHEAP!

Good price for sure

events planned ???

Yes Mikey - events are planned.

Maybe i should have said what events are planned ...I just mite be able to make it happen

For $50 I get??????

Lots of

Lots of

Lots of

Lots of

Lots of

Lots of

And hopefully not much ...except maybe from "That Guy"

Opening night meet and greet. At least one, and probably two drives, A show and shine on the ramp, tech sessions with experts are planned and we are working on commitments, we have a BBQ vendor who will have his wares on the ramp throughout the event. One of his meals will be catered, the rest will be out of your pocket (our way of making sure you don't have to eat at high buck restaurants for every meal - unless you want), excursions to Chair lift up - Zip line down, Comedy Club with Louie Anderson, Chartered fishing, Golf (PGA level course across the back of the lot next to the Lake, oh, and gambling .

For your money you get the meet and greet party and a catered meal and some goodies TBA... Bring money if you want to do lots of "other" stuff...

Page 5? Come on guys?


Anyways, the real reason why I bumped this is to ask if anyone (McMark) will be bringing a few things like tools and equipment to check and possibly dial in my 73 D-Jet vacuum system? Of course I will pay, I just want this damn thing running as perfect as possible and to possibly learn how to do it my damn self! I'm better at learning by doing.

It's just a question?

To see me again!

I'll be bringing a bottle or two of antifreeze for my buddy Jamie Sorry, Jamie...couldn't resist. Are you going to bring your LE, I would love to see it.

Not a 914 owner (yet) but would love to come to the event. I live just down the hill in Carson City. Please don't chase me off if I show up with my 928 to say hi and check out all of the 914's.

Good camping spots in the area that we could take over
[/quote]

Lake Tahoe is ~4,850 ft. in altitude. In May it will probably be pretty cold, with a good possibility of snow keeping the campgrounds closed. The average temperature for Tahoe in May is a high of 61 and a low of 32.

If it ends up being a productive snow winter, you may need to count on hotel rooms, rather than camping.

Eric

Just to clarify. 4850 is the elevation at the bottom of the lake. Surface elevation is just a little above 6200'. I used to live there and have seen snow every month of the year. Bring extra warm gear if you plan to camp.

hm...can't seem to find this for May. I see the special for buy 2 nights get one free, but that ends in March.

Did you have to call to get this rate?

It did not show on the online booking so I called to confirm and it went through with no hassles - other then being on hold for a while.

As a 914World member, we will only chase you off if you don't register and show up... We definitely know how hard it is to keep one of these things running so people show up in lots of different cars. The only time we give them crap is if they are watercooled and have four seats... Hey, wait a fuchin' minute!!!

Hey Randy, Where do we sign up for registration? and where do we order our T-shirts from? can't wait this will be fun. John

Added Thrusday night, so I will now be at the WCR Thrursday-Sunday.

Will anyone be there Wednesday night? The wife just asked me this morning if we can leave a day early. I'm all for playing an extra day!

Maybe I can help set up or something? Let me know.

Although we don't plan on being there until Thursday and we would love set up help, you should get there as soon as you can and stay as long as you can. This place is beautiful.
