Am I missing the thread or has no one stepped up to set the plan?
Mark and Jamie isn’t it your turn again, maybe it’s Greenie’s time to come out of retirement!!!!

Yes ! Greenie did a great WCR; Soggy side of Seattle

It was the soggy side of nowhere but...

Yes, plans are in motion and from what I’m told, pretty much complete. 2018 will be Mark Whitesell and company...

What you’re getting is redundant!

Don’t forget the General...

Still learning how to work this computer thing

It’s an iPad dummy

Got this set up for June 7-10. Gonna be a poker run, working out hotel details, but if we can swing it theres a pretty cool and funky hotel that brees its own beer we are trying to co ordinate with. An autocross is possible, depends on if the property sells. May still be possible, but we cant get a commitment until we get closer on that.

Planned to firm up in Jan a few other details.

Thanks Mark !!!
Like you don’t have enough going on !!!
Looks like a good date to me, let me know if I can help nail things down.

Actually, would like to see if North and South can organize drives in. Maybe multiple convoys.

I know some can't come at the same time, but the majority will probably leave about same time.

Anyone who wants to lend a hand is welcome. I know PDX Mike's wife is in on some of the planning as well as Cary (there will be a shop tour) My son Michael's wife Caroline will be helping as well as my wife and some friends.

The Gorge was fun, trying to top that, but it will be hard... but we can try.

Mark,

Do we have a city narrowed down yet?

3 votes for Greenies' wife, who if I remember, could kick your ass with one hand brushing her hair. Am I wrong?

Trying to get this in Forest Grove as it's close to the autocross area we want to use and the hotel (if we can work things out) that's a little funky but cool. The issue is parking and alcohol. We can drink theirs on site, but the BYOB parking lot may not fly. Thinking Keg sponsor, but they have to serve it. They also have meeting rooms that we could use too, but again we have to have them serve us. It's a little sticky in that they have multiple licenses to protect, but offers us some other options.

Rooms are reasonable with various levels of accommodations, but the parking lot interactions with beverages have to be theirs.

I plan to tap all the sponsors we can for donations to help sponsor some of the fun, and we will be making a significant donation in prizes and cash for the event.

All I remember was she was generous with the Tequila, then things get fuzzy.

The General

Forest grove is only 997 miles from the 0c

Soggy in 2008? Hardly, judging from the sunburns. The Dalles motel was a first rate location.

It was nice...

No, the General!

Oy! I’m talking about the name of the event!

I didn't get one of those hats. Why? No idea.

that was a Slits Quote from his time in WA...wasnt it ??

...and only 2000 miles from the stl. One way or another, I'm going to get there...I hope!

Actually, it was me. I was being a smartass and I said it on the WCR 2008 public thread. Somehow the used it! It evolved from “Middle of Nowhere” to “Freakin’ Edge of Nowhere” to Soggy Side of Nowhere... in this post. I had no idea they would go with it...

Oh, and for all you guys trying to get Greenie and the General involved in this, here’s what Greenie thinks of Oregon...

Well he did miss the chance to drive the Oregon Raceway Park.
One of the pictures on their website might look a little familiar

YA! Lets go back there for lapping!

Suddenly I want to get my insurance from the General...

I will send you one.....

Somehow I am going to do this.

You can make it. I drove 1030 miles to the Red Rocks Classic.

Port Gamble. That was a fun day.

We just got out of the pool ,The General is still looking good!!

It's great that Mikeys stepping up!

I would like to see the event in Medford again.

I've got a score to settle with the Orange dude from Tacoma!!

Hey Jim

Good times for sure, make sure you pack the yellow shorts!

I think you were robbed Curt! I was like 3-4 fastest TOD and I was doing this shizit!

1024 for me. I'm not old enough to have 32 hours free to drive..... but flying is on the table

Medford was great !!! What’s the chance of getting a day at Portland International Raceway??? If the next one is in Forrest Grove

Is it safe to start requesting vacation time ??

Yes time is confirmed. Having some issues with the hotel and the parking scenario. DO have the ladies meeting this weekend to help put together some of the events. Should be able to have it all finalized after the weekend.
Mark

Great news ! Looking forward to another great WCR in Oregon....

Mind if a tail dragger tags along?

It would be Awesome to see you Jon. Please come & bring the family if you can. These are family event's you know

Never a problem.
The ladies are meeting this weekend to firm up events and we will have a more formal announcement this following week.
All are welcome, registered participants will be included in the meals.
As well as the drawings which will be significant.

Followed by an oversized banner saying 914-GUYS. I suppose God is in her heaven, and looking out for us. I am going to try to make it. Driving who knows what.

Joe obrien's yellow car is shown in jim's post. 06'. Time flys. Beautiful picture of Mt Hood. Exciting fun times in the hotel parking lot that weekend. KEGS! of beer, fireworks...what could possibly go wrong?
