I'm booked!!!!
For some reason the girl taking the reservation didn't know anything about the 914 world or Porsche event, hope I booked the right place ????
I requested a lower room facing the pool, looks like a good place to relax after rambling all day
I am still thinking of the RV but the wife may need something to drive if I leave her behind

days off are part of the hiring negotiations..Hello

Ya ..DUH~!
But Ive already got one of those requests lined up (MotoGP in Monterey),
I dont want to push my luck.

Was that a photoshoped pic of Messix leaning around a corner?? May consider a sway bar while your in there too. . .

Bring it on old man.

Greenie is not in Charge of Himself..The General Says Whats What....

I knew that photo would be coming shortly. . .

just heard (via email) that we can share Oregon Raceway park the weekend of June 14 with another club!!!! Once I know the exact details and cost, I'll post them here.

I believe that it is the ORP club and they stepped up and committed to that weekend knowing that we had reserved rooms in the gorge.

I will definitely have the zonk ready! ( maybe even the polizei fake!)

I cant possibly miss another event with Greenie bent over his car!

Sooo theres a pool?

Booked a room. Planning on arriving the 12th and do some sight seeing. The lady I talked with was aware of the 914World group rate and set me up.....they know we are coming .

Going to try hard to have my car back together by then and make it there.

The Dalles is probaby about 300 miles from Moscow and would be the perfect shakedown cruise.

Track time will be cool!

Booked! Be there on Thursday with the wife.

Booked my room will arrive on Thursday.The Lady I talked to didn't know anything about our event and said that the contact has not been confirm,and will give us the group rate when the contact gets confirmed. John

No kidding. I've never done it...and am a little afraid to. It may become an obsession.

OK Ive gotta make it.
So Drew (or whomever) what about the RV thing?

We have room for the cars in the back. I think I could pursuade mamagement that we have hirred security to watch the cars so we could sneak in 1 RV, but I'm pretty sure we would have a problem with more.

Hey Mark, I'll be towing up and will park my trailer in the back. Hey Mike Bellis are you trailering your car up? And what day are you leaving? I'll be leaving wensday morning about 11:00 am. I have to do my Dailysis first then I can leave, will be hitch up and ready to go. If you want to follow let me know, going up US-5, I know boring but going to go as fast as I can in comfort. Let me know (925) 706-8628 home, (925)354-7370 cel# John

I'd hoped to make my first one.

But my middle son is graduating from Oregon State on Saturday.

I guess that gives me an extra year for my rustoration. LOL.

eric, a 300 mile shake down run prob isn't such a good idea. 300 or less before you set out to work out any bugs might save you major hassles. by the time you get home it'll be over 1000. seen it a few times...radiator failure on a v-8 conv, shift bushing go kaput, wheel bearing adj, cables...

Yea I've thought about that. We'll see how soon I get it put back together, and if I get to drive it much before hand.

If I don't get much time to ensure it is reliable, I may trailer to the event. But only if you guys promise not to call my baby "Trailer Queen".

...not that you need any help, but here is a link to some videos on the track. The cool thing about ORP is we can run it both directions... I prefer CW in a car because its more challenging (blind apexes, off camber exits, etc.) but it is not for novices IMHO. Ive done CCW on a bike and felt more comfortable as to apexes and visual clarity, so we could do CCW the first few sessions to get people comfortable and then go CW if people want.

Either direction is a blast to drive and will challenge even TC, should he join us from the far south

Just come & leave. Only an a couple hours back to OSU. Party with your son & come back

just waiting on actual $$ amount per day. we are going to have LOTS of track time available to us.

Not sure on either yet. I Can leave Wednesday but that's a long way off right now. Might be a midnight build just before leaving... never know.

I will certainly caravan with you if the timing works out.

What about the rest of you wussies? What's your excuse not to go?

Calling Jakeodoule to the white courtesy phone! I see you lurking son. Are you coming out for this one?

Jamie, I was kind of thinking the same thing.
I haven't seen the time schedule yet.
Time will tell ..............

My car is done for now.....and ready to go.
Not sure when I'm leaving yet, depends on what job I'm working on, too soon to tell.
Probably leave sometime Thursday at the latest.

Jeff

Just bring it on the trailer. We can try to get it running for you what? It's a tradition!

Reservation confirmed!

I will find out my schedule in about two weeks here... Then, it's on!!!

Finally got off my but and made my reservation.
Still figuring out the itineary and confirming a few things, but we will have the t shirts and other items finalized in a few weeks.
-Mark

I was told by the person at the desk that there was not a group rate at this time.
They gave us a discounted rate so asking for the group rate caused confusion with the woman I spoke with. After giving them the dates she saw the discounted price and then took my reservation.

whats wrong with owning a trailer queen!

Baby likes to run and play; Not sit in a wheelchair.

Just booked our room for Thursday,Friday & Saturday.

Five months away, we can't wait.

This is going to be a blast!!!

They're too shiny

I'm most likely moving to Eugene, OR at the end of March...so I might be making the drive a little bit further North, for one day at least!

I've got to make one of these get togethers!

Nice! I work in Eugene. Let me know when you get here. I'll buy dinner

Linda & I will likely be there and make it part of a vacation. We love the area and we had such a great time at Medford that it will be great to go back to Oregon. Unfortunately, I'll be sans-914. The 2 trips we've made with the Eurovan Camper towing the 914 have resulted in radiator fan failures while crossing Nevada. We're just not going to take the chance anymore on towing.

Here's a groupon for an activitiy that will be right thre for those that are interested-

I will do that! TY

Can't wait to get to the PNW, but the house is still in escrow.

I have to think long and hard if Greenie is going! Will there be Sheep?

Only if the General orders sheep...

well i consider my car a TQ sorta ...and i pull that shiney S.O.B from the trailer and wax your ass at AX... or at least try ..she like to stretch her legs from time to time

Well Mr. C,
I'm guessing you probably would get the best of baby and me at AX...Since she is bone stock. I've thought about doing some serious AX, but just can't see tearing up a good original 73' 2.0 survivor. I think her destiny is to take some fun runs in the Washington, Idaho, and Montana mountains. We have some incredible scenic switchbacks in this area that are just CRYING out for 914s to give them a try.

I wouldn't mind putting putting in a few laps at the track though...just to have a legal place to get her up to 100 MPH, and then throw her into some turns. That would be some serious fun. I see your a PNW guy, so maybe I'll get to meet you at the WCR if my refurbish goes as planned.

Looks like I'm out

My nephew is in a program for at risk youth sponsored by the California National Guard. I (ex-Marine) am his mentor. He graduates on June 14 @10am in San Luis Obispo. Smack dab in the middle of WCR. As much as I want to be there, family comes first.

I have considered all options but it doesn't make sense to race on Friday afternoon to Oregon just to make the end of WCR. There are no airports (with a flight) within 1.5 hours of each location.

I am cancelling my reservation in OR and booking one in SLO. My new goal is to have the car running for a trip to SLO. Then a nice ride up the coast with my wife.

See you guys next year!

I have seen in Oregon and Spokane, Sheep dealers selling sheep in parking lots. One guy had a deal, buy 2 sheep , get a free chicken

bone stock or modified they are a kick to drive,I might make WCR ,that track is on my buckit list anyway! yes there a ton of good roads in the PNW and she`ll come out of the trailer when the sun shines ......have a good day
