Are you seriously bringing both?
computers4kids
I toyed with the idea of bringing both, but the red one just isn't WCR worthy yet...although it's coming along nicely. It's biggest trip so far is just around town--jusn't isn't on the priority list right now in my life.

Everyone wants to see the automatic!! We don't care if it's not perfect yet. smile.gif

You should seriously have both cars set up to use the towbar. Then if you ran into any trouble, just swap cars. Built-in backup! piratenanner.gif

I'm right there with you buddy! I have that whole week off too! I just have the interior to install, different side markers to cut in (different area) and re-wire the stereo. Oh crap, gotta have the hood painted or buy a different one.

17 Days and the Party's on!

All of the final preparations are under way. I think we may just have an event here!!! Everybody ready? Let's hear it!

It's snowing and downright nasty here at the lake right now! Should melt fast at lake level. Alpine Meadows will be open Fri-Sunday for the last days of the season. Bring your gear, it has been very good riding.
biosurfer1
I'm almost done with my new bell crank linkage and I already like it 100 fold over the hex bar and I haven't even started it yet. I can tell adjustments will be much easier.

Now to fab up a throttle cable bracket, do some tuning and head to the lake!

A Sweet 16 Days To Go!

WCR2010 Teeners at Tahoe is just around the corner... The cars are almost ready, the Lake has been ready for thousands of years. If you have never seen it, you will remember it for a lifetime. Water so clean you would drink it. Mountains so high you swear they reach heaven. Oh and the rest of 914World with alcohol blink.gif drunk.gif beer3.gif

I just received confirmation that Sunset Porsche will donate 5 Gift certificates to the event. I buy all my parts from them so I know the service is good.

Yes, I'm actually feeling good enough to go but the actual days are unknown. I'm trying to get Pete Stout to go but he's really busy but I keep beating on him chair.gif

I'll most likely drive up each day for two of the days. As soon as I know, I'll PM you

Thursday Evening
Check-in is open and we begin gathering on the roof of the ramp. Keg tap and official kick off of Eric Shea's Birthday... err... "the WCR 2010 Teeners in Thin Air".


So Jim and I don't waste any undue time... what time will the Keg be tapped? Do we have to bring Pint glasses or will one be provided?
ConeDodger
In my best Nascar post-race interview voice: Well Eric, we will not be tapping that keg until Eric Shea and Jim Tabor show up 'cause none of this would be possible without the love and support of the PMB Performance team. We want to thank the Yopu Store for providing that keg and our pit crew for standing by ready to tap that keg... biggrin.gif

OH GOD NO!!! I just checked the flight... IT IS PM.

I screwed up. I'll see if I can change that tomorrow.

Salmon boy drinks?

Yes, and while purchasing tickets online. drunk.gif
AM/PM is a minimarket. Eric bought tickets to Guam.

All is well, the ticket is changed and I'm picking him up at 11:45AM on Thursday....we'll both be in "salmon" OMG!

Which one is Jim and which Eric?
Eric_Shea
The "Dynamic Duo" will open up a can of whoop-ass on you all.

Honestly... yesterday was the "Blondest" day I've had in a long time.

1st Time - Burned through the reservation so quickly that I didn't realize the "Cookie Jar" kept a RNO -> SLC route in there... I booked the first trip backward.

2nd Time - Well, you know this story. I swear I triple checked everything (except for that little AM/PM part)

I'll tell you this... Orbitz ROCKS. They canceled my flight "both" times without a fuss. I went to Brazil last month on Travelocity and they suck. You call their customer support and it's a bunch of ya-hoo's in India that leave you on hold and don't give a $hit. Had to write to the BBB in TX to get the $100 back that they owed me.

Just 14 Shopping Days till WCR 2010 Teeners at Tahoe!

So it doesn't take a genius to figure out where this is going... Jimtab and Shea at Tahoe for a three night appearance? We should sell tickets for this. These guys are a two man show... Don't miss it! WCR 2010 Teeners at Tahoe! Oh Ya!

You never know what these two will get into. When Shea was a kid, Tabor convinced him to... Well, just check out the picture. wacko.gif

Just so you know... I'm not falling for that one again. I'm wearing gloves next time! He told me I needed an "Electric Knife" to carve my turkey. headbang.gif

Hey, I can wear pink with a tartan anytime....I'm not religious or anything, actually there is always a little pink showing when I wear a kilt......if you catch my drift.....I just need to know that there won't be any "peeking' if I faceplant in the parking lot again....... drunk.gif rolleyes.gif

Announcer: Well folks, it looks like Jim stuck the landing this year. No face plant for 2010! Let's hear it for Jim Tabor with an assist from his teammate Eric Shea!!! (crowd goes wild)
shoguneagle
I think everyone is in for a great time at Tahoe and is it is well worth the trip to this event! Several years ago we attended a Lotus Regional Meet and had a ball. I must get my 914 finished this year and attend on of these events.

When we lived in Nor-Cal full time we enjoyed Tahoe many times over a forty plus years and the weather should be cool with snow around you. The gambling area has changed somewhat but it should still be great. Tahoe is one of the areas I miss in California and will be going through there in June.

I think the event has been planned very well and should give everyone a great time.

Wish we could attend this year but the "retirement commitments" always rear up and disrupt any long term planning. In other words, we are on extended travel in the U.S. for the balance of the year, hope to live fulltime in Nor-Cal next year, and be traveling some overseas.

Everyone have a great time!

Do I dare say that unlucky number? 13 to go!

So we all understand, there will be no official drinking event at WCR 2010 Teeners at Tahoe... But when professionals come to town you just have to give up the love. Have you ever noticed how when you drink, sometimes people start to look alike?

In Sacramento it is going to be 81 today and 86 tomorrow. Our weather moves East and just East of us is a big lake called Tahoe. Don't worry about it Jim... It will be cool at night and in the morning and warm in the day. Same as it is in June... smile.gif

Oh my gosh! Just a dozen days to go! You heard it: 12 w00t.gif

All the final details are dropping into place. Thursday night in the lot with the gang will have PMB Performance providing and tapping a keg. Friday morning we will have the Loop the Lake Drive and if you have a passenger be sure to bring a camera because we have the Photo Rally where you will be given a list of 30 things to photograph + Best Photo contest. Saturday morning we have the Targa Tahoe Drive which will be longer and perhaps spirited as it follows some of the roads traversed by the Markleville Death Ride which is an annual bicycle ride held up here in Tahoe each year. Mixed in we have a People's Choice Car Show and seminars on Porsche Wheels with Harvey and Al Weidman, Transmissions with Mike Lesniak, Rust Repair Welding with Mark Debernardi, String Alignment with Andy Schmidt, and last but not least, Brakes with Eric Shea.

If you haven't registered it isn't too late! Make your plans and join us at WCR2010 Teeners at Tahoe.
