We can only come up for the day, most likely Saturday - can we purchase a shirt and join in with a little fun?

Blake,
I’ll talk to Mark as soon as I get a chance, but I think we also want to make the shirts available to order for those who will not be in attendance…
Picture for visual learners. We will be driving down this street! Probably stopping…

It was indeed. V8 car. Probably Beech Boys Racing? He traded it a few weeks later for a nice vintage Mercedes. He lives 17 miles away from me.
Here he is actually driving it…

Just a heads up, If you register after April 30th we can no guarantee you will get a shirt.
We need 4 weeks so we can have them a week before to take with us. This allows for the shipping to us to process and will not require rushing anything to help keep the cost down. I will notate this in the title block.
Also if you are not attending and want a shirt we are processing that on the the 30th also so sign up here -
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=364790Put in what you want to get on the thread we will contact you to process them.

I'm new to this event, will there be a car show at all if so where at in SLT?
Also just an FYI Gardnerville/Minden also known as The Carson Valley is about 30 minutes away via Kingsbury Grade (really fun drive) as an alternative to expensive Tahoe accommodations...I live in Gardnerville.

I talked with my friend that lives in Incline Village who gets around the lake more than I do today. He says the roads are clear of snow with towers of snow on the edges in some places. It’s melting fast, but there are “rivers of melt water” crossing the roads in some spots. Our biggest concern up at the lake are “potholes” big enough that the county has an inclusion on their website to reimburse the damage they may cause!
For this reason, we will likely spend time in the valley below the lake…
Baja, I was thinking a drive down through Markleville to Gardnerville and back up through Washoe Valley. You don’t know the condition of that road do you?
@bajafreaksThe car show is a show and shine at Summit Racings West lot were the motorcyle safety course is run in the summer. It will be Saturday from 10am to 2pm.

By the time June rolls around a lot of the run off will be gone. Hwy 4 to Markleeville off of 88 is fine although with the fires last year not very pretty to look at. Hwy 88 to 395 in GV is fine also. Both 4 and 88 are a little beat up from our winter from hell.

Joyce and I are sorry you both won't be able to make it.
FYI, trying to register on the 914rubber website and it just is not having it.
@Mikey914 let me know what we need to do to get this right. Sent you an email with registration receipt payment info along with shirt order.

Apr 23 2023, 11:45 AM
I can check on Monday to see where it's at. If you were not able to register and will not make it, no problem. If you do want a Shirt still, you can just put it on the shirt thread and we will catch up at the end of the month.
I'll follow up with you Monday. PM your number.
Thanks,

I am desperately trying to make it. The engine went in 2 weeks ago and the rest of everything seems to falling in line. I have been working all weekend long every weekend and about 4 hours a day during the week to get everything done. I started with essentially a parts car 2.5+ years ago. Since then driving the car to my cabin (Modesto to Tahoe) has been my goal coincidentally right near the main meetup.
I have a cabin on Kingsbury grade right near the hotel, do I have to register still?
Does anyone want to come over and lend me a hand?

You do not have to register to attend, however the registration covers a $25 dinner credit and a t shirt.
To be elligible to win anything at the raffle you do need to be registered.
Registration secures seating for the dinner. We may not have enough room for unregistered at the dinner.
So do you have to to join up with us, no.
The real cut off is April 30th as mentioned on the thread for the t-shirts.

So on Sunday Mary and I took the 914 for a drive and it stranded us, had to get towed home.
So today I booked a hotel room and registered my wife and I for WCR 2023.
I guess I have to fix my car.

FYI I just heard from a good friend that went over the hwy 88 pass from Jackson to Carson Valley its "pothole" city, really bad road conditions due to our winter from hell. Traveling to Tahoe you may considerer using hwy 50 if coming from this part of Calif.

Just FYI, I have tested part of our drive plan. Coming down 50 from Stateline and through Virginia City. Almost no potholes. We are going to make drive decisions close to event time.
@jcd914 you may not take 50 up from Sacramento. It is forbidden.

What do you supposed happened? Just like my human age (67) I don't see our cars as old....I am 67 years young....why can't my car be 50 years young as well? This is my goal and mantra.....
