WCR 2011 is coming up June 23-26 in Medford, OR. Click here to register.


Here is a basic overview of the plan for the 2011 West Coast Ramble.
Thursday the 23nd- Meet n greet at La Quinta in White City

Friday the 24rd - AutoX held at the Jackson County Sports Park. AutoX rules & time we start to be announced. We have the track all day & will start fairly early. BBQ lunch will be at the track for our midday meal . We will have them there with lunch available. The lunch is not included in the registration. Friday night is open as far as dinner. Eat in the hotel parking lot. Go out to one of the local places? Your call what you want to do for dinner.

Saturday the 25th - Our show & shine will take place with judging starting at 9:14 . We have changed our route. Mike Knox was kind enough to figure out a better way for us to go. Crater Lake still is not open all the way. So it would be tough for us to enjoy that ride. We will do the following after the show-n-shine.

I spent the day designing and traveling the route for our tour of Southern Oregon. We'll be driving about 120 miles, only a short part of which is 4 lane or urban roads. We'll travel through orchards, vineyards, 3 climate zones, see lots of wildflowers in bloom in the high country, there'll even be snow. All roads are paved.

Bring your camera. There will be a couple of photo stops.

We'll have a 3000 foot climb in 13 miles, so lots of twists and turns. Lunch will be at lakeside at Lake o'the Woods Resort. Then if you want you can continue on to Crater Lake, or head back to WCR-HQ via a high speed downhill ending in more twists and turns, as we find our way back.


Sunday the 26th - Typically there is an informal breakfast. People head out as needed. I plan to have an optional drive to the coast this day. Depending on saturdays drive going off without a hitch. Those heading south can break off on the 101. Those heading North can break off on the 101 also.

Thanks for your patience. We are working hard to make this the best WCR yet . Really seems to get better every year anyway. Our Vendor Support has been great every year. We appreciatte all their efforts & will be getting ahold of many of you. You are more than welcome to get ahold of us first . Hoping for the best turn out to date. Also if you have never been to Crater Lake. It is truly beautiful & worth the drive to see. A picture of the track & of Crater lake are below

If I have missed anyone let me know.

Awesome! I need to reschedule my kids birthday... No problem, I'm there dude!

Cool track... anyone up for camping?

That's a good start. Hope to be there.

Looks great! Now to get my car on the road.

me me me me me me

Already got it in my Daytimer! Car is running great at the moment, just have to keep it that way for a year . . .

Thanks for getting a date on the table, this really helps Looking forward to seeing the Northwest again

Nearest airport?

It's on my calendar for my 5th annual "Wish I were there" WCR activity. I wanna have a beer (or 10) with some of you WCMF'ers

Nearest airport is Medford. About a 45 minute flight from Portland. Rogue Valley Int'l airport is about 8 miles from the track.

Rogue Valley Int'l Airport

Now we have a date to premier the Limo!

Make your reservation now! Seating for 4 - destination Medford Oregon

That's the kart track in Medford. They run AX on it?

Crater Lake is very cool. How long a drive is it from Medford? Done that drive before, but it's been 15 years or so since.

Andys

2 hours from the track to Crater lake National Park.

They run alot of AutoX on it. It was also repaved a little over a year ago. It's in great shape.

Thread reminds me of a PM I think I forgot to answer!

Jamie, give me a buzz.

E.

Ah figure you'll need a 914 to fight off the local AX big dogs. I'll see what I can arrange....& who knows, maybeee Randal will have his car running by then.

Well you should come down in the MR2 JP. I know the SCCA pres down there is a MR2 guy. He'd probably enjoy seeing you down. Besides they will most likely be running MR2's the rest of the weekend.

Nice to se plenty of interest even with it being close to a year off! Keep your eye's open for more concrete info on Hotel's & just everything in general being more set. Just make damn sure it's on your calender. 2011 WCR is going to be a blast

Good Job nailing down the dates Jamie. I'll put it on my calander, any chance there is a full hook up RV park near the intended location?

I'm in! Thanks for your hard work Jamie.

Perfect, I think I can make it. Got a close friend in Ashland I can stay at too.....

I need to double check my school dates, but this may very well be my school graduation present to myself. I walk like 2 weeks before

Just a shout out to Vendors! We want prizes . Okay seriously this is just a heads up. If you are going over things for the coming year & Budgeting? We'd like to throw our hat in the ring for whatever. So I am sending out some PM's to our vendors. Please forgive me as I can't seem to say 2011 the whole time . So ignore the 2010 I use also. It is for the 2011 West coast ramble

Two words. ROOM SERVICE.

Rogue Valley airport. Hmmmm.

Count me in for donating a rebuilt speedo drive.

I'm in.

I'm in too.

Here is a lap around the outside loop of the track.

Cool Brit! So can we expect to see the shitbox with it's new Suby powerplant there . Also are you up for helping with the setup & running of the AutoX. Along with a few others of course

Not sure if I will make the event, depends on the schedule of other events. Gotta get the car built and sorted as well. It is a possiblity, that track is a lot of fun.

-Britain

There is a full hook up less than 3 miles away from the track.

LakeWood RV Park


Directions to Lakewood RV camp from track


I was told that we could camp at the track but there are no hook-ups or anything of that sort.

Hmmmm..

I expect I will be there... Hopefully with Yopu and Nicho...

Jamie when you announce the dates this early you get Elliot excited and he might just show up next week. He's retired and he has nothing else to do I think...

I was just thinking this morning....hmmm what happened to the WCR 2011?

You know I might be able to make this one. I am moving to Washington now because I just got orders to McChord AFB. I will moving up there in February. With Jon's help and some other people I should have my car running again that month too.

Great!!
I live 5 minutes from the kart track. I better get busy on my car. It's currently in about a thousand pieces.

Hey Jamie, I'll be there +1 or 2, Have you picked the Hotel yet? When can we sign up? John

Linda & I are hoping to make this. We love vacationing in Oregon. The only problem is that it's too long between WCR and the big Sisters outdoor quilt show. I'm sure we can't just hang around Oregon for that long (something about earning a living I think). The schedule sounds great and I'm really looking forward to it!

Krisy and I will be there given that we can get child care for 5 days... Shouldn't be a problem though! Any puget sound area people want to caravan?

That's so close to home... I'll be there one way or the other!

I think for most it will be the normal 3-4 day event. I figure most that aren't into the autoX won't show till thursday night or friday. Of course kids are welcome if you can fit them

I may have to trailer the 914 up for this one.. I have good friends in Medford.. May be a good excuse to come and visit them

I will caravan if I am going!

I'm coming but can't decide on camping (5th wheel) or hotel. I'm thinking trailer either way. Jamie, I can bring your parts if you want to wait 8 months...

Mike I sure hope I've been down your way to get them by then . Hopefully somehting will bring me down there soon. I appreciatte the offer though

We had a great time. Sorry you couldn't be there. Maybe next year.

I've got lots to do. I just can't always remember when I'm supposed to do it.
