OK boys and girls. This is the official, "I want to go to the Red Rocks Classic and see the pretty rocks and 914's thread"

Here is the DEAL!!!!

The event is being held September 10-12th in Moab, UT.
Yes, UT. So there is the chance that you may come with one wife but leave with 3.

The registration charge is $67. Well what do I get you ask?

BBQ meet and greet on Friday evening
Catered lunch on Saturday
Dinner on the river Saturday night
Maybe an award (if you're car is nice enough) (or ugly enough, depending on the award)
And the perennial favorite: Goody Bag
And Door Prizes!!!!

Not to mention, Friendship, Comradery, Memories, and Scenery you will see no where else on Earth.

Take a train, take a bus, take a plane, or drive a car, but just make sure you bring a camera, a sense of humor, and your liver.......

This is a time you will remember for the rest of your life.
The indigenous people are still singing folk songs in the hills about our first Red Rocks Classic.

Here is the official Hotel:

RED ROCKS LODGE


At last count there were 11 rooms available.
If you call and the hotel is full, please send me a PM.
We have a back up hotel down the street that we are planning on using if necessary. But in the meantime, we are going to overtake the current hotel as we have the entire motel reserved.





We could fill this entire thread with and photos, but you really need to experience this event for yourself. Come one, Come All, you don't want to miss this.......

This event is 100% not for profit.
In the past, if we had any left over funds, they were donated to a local Moab charity.

If you would like to pay at the event, the registration fee is $77
We do not accept Nigerian certified funds, or Monopoly money. Sorry.

Please mail checks to:

PM Brant, or myself if you have further questions regarding the event, or registration process.

We hope to see you in Moab

I will go if you guarantee that the rocks will be red and AT NIGHT TOO!

Otherwise, it's a no-go and you can find me at Bryce.

Room booked

Still Red, even at night

See you there I guess.........

Brant,

When you open PayPal to send money, there are two tabs ... one is marked Personal. If you click on that tab and then on "Gift", money can be sent without PayPal charges.

Just thought I would let you know.

Thanks Ron... I actually didn't know that
so if anyone wants to register through paypal as "gift"
they can skip the 3%

We won't close registration until about a week prior
and we will have full refunds until that same point
(paying the food vendors right before the event)

Man I cant wait!! Room booked

How to pay for the event





Please let me know if you have problems booking a room.
I suspect the hotel may run out of rooms for us and I will need to book some rooms at our overflow location.

Thats bitchen....

If SLITS is there, I'll be there. How could I miss a sophisticated photo opp. like this one?

IN.

I was looking for a excuse to buy a 914

No need ... we can park together with our Miatas.

What you guys do with your Miatas on your own time is your own business. This isn't that kind of event......

I Beg To Differ!

That's why the YMCA guys had to stay at a different hotel the next year

I've had my room booked for at least a month. I don't write checks and Sandy won't let me use pay pal. She runs that account. I will have her send the funds as a gift.

I'm kind of the girl of the relationship. I like shopping and spending money. She keeps me in check.

BTW: If you send the funds as a gift be sure to send a happy birthday note.

Do not write something like " Event Fee" or something like that. We were shut down during the Buttercup deal with the transaxle raffle.


Oh, BTW: That's $ 67.00 per person just to clarify= $ 134.00 for two

brant914@hotmail.com right?

Yes brant914 (at) hotmail (dot) com.

Rick
yes sir
looking forward to seeing you!

brnat

We look forward to Brnat to make a suprise guest appearance at RRC10!


Is there a shirt order thread?

Just booked a room. Now I have to see if I can find any other PNW troops to invade Utah.

Sweet. I think Last year's "That Guy" is planning on attending again (sixnotfour)

Isn't he from up there somewhere......

Yep, he's from up here, but we try to keep that kind of quiet.

Talk to Bill and see if he will sponsor us! If you don't. the "Asshole" will come to breakfast again!!!!

Sweet! I can't wait!!

Brnat,

Check is in the mail.. this whole GIFT thing confused me.. I'm doing it old-skool!

Brnat is not here man!!!!

I'm really tempted. Are there any SoCal caravans planned. I think I'd go if so. There is safety in numbers. Like the vast herds of the wildebeast. No, not the lemurs going over the cliff.

So Cal is always well represented. There is usually a Thursday night layover in Mesquite with their $25 room specials.

There should be a handful from SOCAL! Slits, Andy T, Toast maybe? Elliot hopefully, etc!

The Brnat abides!

Just called the hotel and there are no rooms left, completely booked. How close is hotel #2 to the main location?

I told you it was going to book up..........

I'll set up the second hotel tomorrow morning. It's a block or two away.

Is that the one that closes at 5 PM and has the hot tub full of red rocks?

Working on second location.............

SATELLITE VIEW HOTELS
Location F is the host hotel.

This would be better than a hot tub and pool full of concrete chunks my friend.

IF YOU BOOKED A ROOM AT THE HOST HOTEL, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU BOOKED IT IN YOUR NAME.

I just called and they still have 5 rooms left under my name, which were part of the original group reservation. If you did not transfer the reservation into your name, then those rooms are still showing as available in their computer and are available to whoever calls in for them.

So if you have not booked a room yet, there are technically still 5 ROOMS LEFT.




P.S. I am still working on a second hotel. It is 2 blocks away and I am trying to negotiate a lower rate for the overflow.
Every other nearby hotel seems to be booked for that weekend.

If you have questions about registration, please contact Brnat.

3 rooms left now and I am working on a second hotel.

I just reserved one for my wife and I. We got two queens, but are hoping to find a sitter for the boys for the weekend.

Well those five rooms didn't last long..........

The next closest hotel that has available rooms at a reasonable price is The Bowen Hotel. It is letter "C" ON THIS MAP (host hotel is "F"). If you still need a room, I would give them a call.


The manager has not called me back yet, but they do have 15 rooms available.
They supposedly don't give group discounts, so feel free to book a room on your own.

http://www.bowenmotel.com/

Rooms are $90ish a night.



FYI: The Ramada was $199 a night and the Best Western was $185 a night.
River Canyon Lodge was full.

OK, I just sent my 77 to someone I don't know, I booked a room in a motel that I've never seen (the Bowen), I haven't even asked my wife if she wants to go yet and I'm driving a 35 yr old cantankerous car into the desert. Shit, I think I'm gonna have a great time. PS We could hire an auto carrier to take 12 of our cars then unload us 2 blocks from the hotel. Would it be wise to bring my atty?

You will have a great time! Everyone has a great time at Red Rocks!

You could be like Silva, LVSteveH and other wussys and trailer your car to the event.

You're only in the desert till St George. You then pass into the hallowed grasslands of Utah, complete with the smell of fresh cow dung. A must see and stop is the town of Beaver ... I'll leave it to your imagination.

Once past Cedar City, you make a right turn and head out over the mountains into the vast wasteland of Utah .. 125 miles or so of nothing but dirt ... then about Green River, you make a right turn and head toward the Red Rocks (Moab).

13 hours in the seat (764 miles as I remember) ... stops only for gas, grass, food and personal relief (unless you are outfitted with a Pilot Tube).

My favorite is to leave Riverslime on Thur aftnoon ... stop in Mesquite, NV overnight and then make the journey to Moab arriving in time for Tequilageddon on Friday Nite. Avoid a guy wearing kilts and carrying bottles of Scottish Firewater.

FYI: The host hotel has started a "waiting list"
They will call you if someone cancels their reservation.

In the meantime, please book rooms at the other hotel I listed.

See you guys in Moab

-------------------------------------------
And it's not 13 hours. 10 maybe.
Don't listen to the grumpy guy. His idea of 13 hours in the seat is just a flashback of his prison fantasies........

This from a guy who flies in a borrows Dad's car .....

At least I showed up.

Just wish I could've seen you

Be careful what you wish for, it might come true.
