Are you driving out?

I kind of wanted to drive out in the Alien but it's a long way and the car is still in the test mule stage. I may put it on the trailer tow it with the mothership.

Rich - If you decide to trailer The Alien, you can drop the Mothership in Vegas and join our Vegas Caravan to Cali.

Just posted on the eastern thread.

Rick; if you're driving, I'm sure we can make arrangements to get your wife picked up at LAX and waiting for you at someones house so she wouldn't have to wait for you and the caravan to hit LAX which isn't real caravan friendly. Just a thought, LAX is no big deal to a veteran but can be a little overwhelming for a newb.

I thought if I checked in the Hotel on Thursday I could plan on her flying in on Friday am. But if there's a way she can get herself to the hotel that may be better. Were working on it. I'm hunting for the thread where ejm posted his possible flight plans. I think he posted something about getting a rental car from the airport. If the flights arrive around the same time maybe Sandy can hitch a ride with him. Lots of options....

Rick, not to worry. Someone will get them. And our house is only a few miles from hotel and really near the LAX shuttle stop.

will there be any Motor home facilaties close or would the hotel let us park in their lot.? I assume we can park at the track

Santa Barbara Air Bus can drop you off on the way from LAX to Santa Barbara....you might wanna call the Hampton and see if they have their own van...pretty good chance they do....they also have Super Shuttles that do the LAX to Ventura runs on the half hour.... Best to check the LAX website....they have links to all the shuttles and limo services.....prolly a good idea if you coordinate with the other outta townies and share a ride. BTW....LAX is RIGHT next to Pelican Parts in El Segundo....old time 914 concour weenie Don of Don and Glenn's Barbeque fame works there again........maybe Howie can talk Wayne into a welcome wagon seeing how we spend a lot of money there....

Well Zeus, your're living in the past again.....just as D. Haney left PP again.....

AGAIN? Geez that guy changes jobs more than you change yer underwear...

We park the rig there (60') and stay at the track all the time.

Lisa, Alison, Don't even think about missing the event.  You either both come to the party or I go public with the pix from 2004  ;)

Well Howard, at this point, it doesn't look good for
me to attend, so you may as well publish the pictures.
But what is my cut again?? (need the $$ big time!)

I'll give you all a wave as you pass me by ....Our car is not near ready ,school,job and other things ..

Ok, I just went through 9 pages of fluff and I still don't know what's going on. Maybe I should re-read a bit.

Questions:
Directions from points east?
Most people are staying where?
What there to do?
How much does it cost?
What track fees?
How much to just be a wall flower?
What's all this talks about speeking American, English or Scotch?
Can someone get a ride if their car goes flambe.

Are any socal people getting rooms, or just commuting sat & sun?

You had to be at 2004 to appreciate the language barrier Can someone get a ride if their car goes flambe. Ride, sympathy, tech support, and track fee all included in $150.

Everything is on the first page or shown as a link from there. The rest of it is just fun stuff, and typical 914club hijacking.

Jen, can't speak for everyone, but IMHO activities around the Pruneyard Inn last year were a blast. Chinese dinner, Suck for a Buck, Translating Scottish to English, etc. I'm trying to have more of that, so hope all will stay as a group. I will be at Hampton Fri and Sat nights and booked a suite at Lancaster for Sun and Mon nights, so we have a 'headquarters'.

Alison, I was just seeing if you really paid attention. My Grandfather would get POd if anyone said that. "Scotch is a drink not a person [or language]." Forgive me, I can be a wise ass some days.

is it $150 for an non-driving co-pilot? so $300 per couple???

I'm so confused

Mike, you can bring your non driving copilot, nubian sex slave, designated driver, and hordes of teeny boppers to all the events including poker run, BBQ, and track all for the one low price of your single $150 entry. You house 'em, we'll entertain 'em. SUCH A DEAL!!!

I knew I priced this too low

One L, I need scotch to understand you

oh wait... im straight

HEY Howard, et.al.-I just noticed that the WCC 2005 is not posted on the interactive calender of events...nuttin but birthdays WTF? The only reason it may be important is that it's one of the places I tell interested newbies to check to see all the good stuff we do here....I would post it if I knew how to do ANYTHING on a computer but type. Sorry

Good Idea! Think I ought to mention it to PP also.

Is there a swap meet this year?

PS: When is the reg deadline?

No Swap meet planned at this time. Deadline is when we get tired of accepting entry forms

Seriously, register ASAP so we have a better idea of how to order and plan. You can always get a refund, or send it in without $$ now if y0u're strapped.

QUOTE

(yes, bearings will be given away)

This is the only reason I am attending...

I'm sending my form (and check even!) today.

As for the swap meet, how about a virtual swap meet thread.. people can list what they want, what they have, and make the deals before the wcc even happens.. then we can just swap money and parts when we get there. That way people won't have to bring unsold stuff home. I used to love swap meets.. until I started selling at them... so boring, and it sucks to have to pack up 80-90% of what you brought because you can't even give it away

Royce, Welcome to the world of swap meets, pack up, unpack,pack up, unpack. The idea of a virtual swap meet is great.
Only thing is most people want the the stuff know, so you might get an order to bring a part to the WCC but they may have found it sooner or at a better price.
If you get paid for the part first then bring it, that could work.
I will bring the items I sell online at WWW. CAMP914.COM, plus a few more goodies. Looks like I won't be driving a 914 down.
CCLINSWAPMEETMANIA

Bondo, if you want to do it, great. I will link to 'home' page. And for everyone, how about just bringing some stuff you don't need, donate to the raffle/auction (remember, it's Special Olympics) and get a receipt for write off.

howard, will the fee for attending be tax deductable? there was some mention of that in the beginning. will you be notifying people of reciept of payment or will we have to wait for it to show up on our bank statement? i sent mine last week. thanks for all the work.

kevin

I am not a CPA. Refer to page one:
Event will be held to benefit Special Olympics, so your entry fee may be tax deductible.
No receipt will be sent.

My understanding of donations is they are only deductable if you get nothing in return. Entry into the WCC is something, so I'm guessing it's not. Also, if you buy something at the raffle/auction, that wouldn't be deductable either. But if you donate something to be auctioned or raffled, that would be deductable. I could be wrong here, but in my experience that's the way it seems to work.

i was just wondering. when public tv has their pledge drives, you get a "gift" for donating, and the donation is deductable. hope you got my check.

Good point.. I wonder how that works.

Best thing is to ask your tax accountant...
You'll only need docs if audited.

Just mailed my entry plus $150.

Me and dad are coming.... but we both want to race...

My guess is one regisitration. and register a guest.

Is there an extra track fee for him? or did the club just rent the track for the day and you'll pass him by as a kid that doesnt need to pay (you know.. some resteraunts dont charge for kids..)

So....

2 people racing one car (if thats possible) is it an extra bit of money?

no no no no no no no no track fees. but you must take turns driving if you only bring one car

but like those resturants you would have to sit in the high chair and wear a bib.

k

Alright... Can he ride or I ride with him? or is it instructor only?

Howard,

How about getting the admins to post a WCC05 link on the 914world.com header like what was done last year?

Folks, I've seperated this piece of the thread from the original, which was getting all clogged up with ... well, you know

A dedicated WCC2005 website is in the making. When that's ready, there will be a link to it at the very top of the page
Right now, I've put a "count down to d-day" thingie up there... Specially for those who don't have their cars/projects ready
PRESSURE!!!

I wanna bring two cars.....one for each foot.....does that mean double the track fees?
