I can accommodate a number of cars for overnight parking, if folks would prefer this to leaving cars at the motel. We can shuttle back and forth to the hotel pretty quickly.

We have plenty of time to coordinate details and I'll be in touch with the event planners to see if I can help.

Chris, I'd like to park mine there if it's not all booked up. Besides, I love to visit your shop!!

A tour of Chris's shop should be on the itinerary!!

@dan10101 Are you just looking to park your car or do you need space for a trailer as well? Just let me know so I don't over book!

Truck and Trailer parking would be great it's there's room.

I wonder if any ass draggers will show up?

Man,I hope not. I just made my reservations.

So what is the room rate and seems someone or two has found some discounts. Do tell?
Thank you,

I booked my usual 2 queen beds for all 3 nights if someone wants to split a room

We did a week tour back in 2000 with old 914 Owners Assoc. for the 30th anniversary. It was a leisurely paced drive with lots of stops for site seeing, shopping etc., including a couple of real Americana Road Trip bits mixed in.

Hey now, be nice!
If my 914 isn't running by then, I'd still like to tag along.

I only know of one that will be there...

We can't tow it with the minivan.

Hot Damn! Count me in, It all happens at one of these events. Looking forward to another one of your great WCR's Mike. Thanks for putting this on.

West Coast Ramble 2020, Celebrating 50 Years of the Porsche 914 in America!
A Week Long Treffen and Weekend in your Porsche 914!

Here’s how it goes!

WCR Weekend 2020 will be held July 16 thru 19 in the Northern California Wine Country of Sonoma! Specifically, Petaluma, California will be the Ramble Site for the weekend. We are still working out many of the details, but this will be a Fun Filled event with 914 friends in the beautiful hills and valleys of Wine Country.

We have picked a Host Hotel based on the best rate, access to restaurants and some great 914 roads in the area. In addition the Lagunitas Brewing Co. is within walking distance and has an awesome beer garden!

Motel 6 Petaluma
1368 N McDowell Blvd, Petaluma, CA 94954
(707) 765-0333

I know what you’re thinking, “Motel 6?!” But it is Sonoma and it’s been remodeled recently AND has trailer parking! Check it out on Google. And if you have “points” or credit with other hotels there are a few others nearby.

Sorry but there is no group rate. The best they would do is no better than the AAA discount or 10% that you can find online just about all the time. The Hotel management has also informed us that summer time is VERY busy in this part of the state and they will be completely booked for July. So if you think you want to go to WCR book now! If something comes up you can always cancel the reservation or give it to another 914er.

There will be driving tours, Games, Peoples Choice Car Show, Wine tasting tours, Tech session and more! Mark your calendar and make your hotel reservations now!
Donations from Vendors have already started. Event T-shirts will be available, possibly a small swapmeet or an Autocross! Plus, you think you know your 914? Let's find out with a 914 Tech Quiz. We want YOU to be a part of this event. Drive your 914. Pull it in on a trailer. Needs paint? No problem, it runs, right? Tell a friend, Bring a friend!

ADDITIONALLY: A True West Coast Ramble 50 years in America Driving Event!
The week prior to the event we will be offering two separate Treffens or driving tours. Starting July 11 from the Very North (almost) of the West Coast and the Very South (almost) of the West Coast, two groups of 914s will drive some of the greatest roads in the Western coastal states and meet up together Wednesday, July 15th and roll into Petaluma on Thursday the 16th for WCR 2020! More info for Hotels/Locations Coming soon!

I know we are getting off to a bit of a late start but with the Rt66 in May and PCA Porsche Parade in June we felt July would give people a chance to bounce back, repair and upgrade their 914s and do it all over again!

Registration info will come later once the final details have been booked.

A few of the other Vegas folks may be joining us as well. We'd probably caravan along with John, but Elvira is way faster than us towing our cars there.

I know how to drive towing speed. ( I trailered my race car to the 1st WCR.) However, Elvira and I will be joining the Treffen in Tijuana, or wherever Mike D. wants us to start.

Ditto.

I call B.S.
Well at least your girlfriend at the time did not know how to drive towing speed. On the way home, your taillights disappeared going across the Mojave Desert.

@dax1969 - I may be biased, living in the area, but I'd say start in SF and go north. You get a more rugged/rocky coast, redwoods, wine valleys, mountains. And a bit cooler weather, if that's important. Depending on how far you want to drive, there's Lake Tahoe, maybe Yosemite.

How far is Petsluma from Oakland airport ?

About an hour to hour and a half

Why not? No tow hitch? Flat towing a 2K# car doesnt take a whole lot.

We'll have bikes on top (drag) and 6 people and all their stuff inside. I think the car would be too much. Minivan is a 2009 Toyota Sienna with 180K miles on it, so I don't want to push it too hard.

thks. Did a roadtrip last year and the final stretch was SF to LA the socalled pacific highway one. Nice but not super impressed as we had a lot of fog at certain points.

Perhaps I could stay a day or 2 in SF and go up north... will start googling.
Heard good things about Oregon... upto portland or seattle and then back down ?
