Can you say that? I thought we were restricted to hooliganism.

The only rules that apply to us are the Laws of Physics.

Okay, I've got another Subaru guy coming over to help me get my project back on the road, to "flip the script" as you so aptly put it a couple of years ago and start driving. I don't want to drive my daily to another event and I want to make this!

Fingers crossed it comes together smoothly (the Subie implantation).

JP's events always go smoothly.

I am so looking forward to this event.

@densible1 - That motor looks very nice. You two always seem to be having a great time. We wish you were both in the Sacramento/Roseville/Auburn area.

We had fun with this one.

Marks startup video. We rebuilt this 2270 RAT Eng. built by Jake in 2005 that went bad after a several year run. Oiling problem took out a main bearing. We did a full rebuild on heads, Align Bore, Rebuilt rods. Balanced, Clutch. Flywheel machined. New pressure Plate, Everything. The Machinist, George. Said it needed. And there you have it. They put in on there test setup and great oil pressure and George says it sounds go to go to PMB Performance tomorrow. To be installed in. Our 1974 two-liter body with no rust. CA car blue plates

Sweet. Bob, were you checking the for oil leaks or praying?

Mark was filming it; I was not worried on anything on this Eng. George the machinist gave perfect direction to us and between the other four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines I've built I kind of new that it would be OK. I've always said the machinist is your best friend. George at http://www.europeanmotorworks.com/ knows what he is doing, and he is 14 minutes from my shop in Inglewood. He does PMBs Eng, and Ian Karr used them and well he is not a kid and has over 30 years’ experience on machining air cooled engines. Much better to have it tested before it gets to Erics at PMB Performance All the video’s like Ian Karrs and even the young Jake Rabie DVD/ CD helped. It was a 2270 so it was just a little different.

Well hell, I have a conflict with the new dates, now I can't make Thursday or Friday....and it'll be 2 weeks hotter

I'm in
Ernie deVries, 1 person, Yellow 1973 914-4

Another mid-winter event I see. The red car has only headers, and the other car is in pieces. That leaves the favorite: my TR6. Heat is not only available, it is mandatory. Of course it comes with some SCCA baggage from the past. If it doesn’t rain, it might be the perfect vehicle.
But then, driving the 914 is admittedly more fun.

^^ SoNev in May will be like mid-SUMMER for you

Strong tentative, depending on if and when I volunteer to teach a geology field course for my local college.

I don’t know anyone that knows every stretch of Route 66 like our fearless leader. John Peterson @VegasRacer a little follow the leader going into Oatman a couple of years ago.

A travel/logistical question:

We will almost certainly trailer the 914 from Colorado (or I will be alone). Any suggestions on where to leave the truck and trailer? Obvious would be in Mesquite (and drive back there at the end) or Bullhead City (and get to Mesquite in time for the start). other ideas?

Booked. I am hoping to be able to open trailer my car. I am sure I will not be the only one - it is about 10 hours for us to the Best Western Mesquite Inn- that would be a long day in a 6 with no AC. Much rather trailer it and be comfortable for the trip there and back.

Any idea if we would be able to leave our truck/trailer at this hotel and then return on the way home to load and go?

BTW, the 1st night at Best Western was $201.38, at the group rate; just an FYI. The other two were $122 and about $100.

Booked

For those with trailers...

worst case you could leave it at a house of one of us Vegas folks.

25 hour drive one way. I need to change the oil before I go

@WORN WOW! You must be a very young man! I will buy you a drink for sure.

Damn I must have a reputation!

Booked for Mesquite and Laughlin, but El Rancho has no rooms left. Anybody know about the Best Western across the street?

@bkrantz El Rancho Boulder City has rooms. The entire property is blocked off for us. You MUST tell them you are with the 'Porsche 914' group. Talk to Candi if there is a problem.

Your Car Here.

I will offer up for parking at my house as well. Additionally I can offer trailer parking where my trailer is stored (my daughters house) she lives on a large lot and rents out trailer parking to customers. I'm sure she'd be ok to leave truck and trailers for a few days no charge.

I am booked but only for the last night. I will probably meet up with everyone in Overton Friday morning, do the drives then hang out with everyone that evening in Boulder City. Saturday morning I'll then head out with everyone.

Thanks, Mike (and to your daughter, too). I will likely take you up on that.

Booked for myself and Bob Burton all 3 days. was able to get group rate at El Rancho
Looks like the blue T4 teener , being prepped by PMB will be ready to go . Bob likely to trailer up 41 yippie.

@mxkinn01 - Hi Mike, if it is OK, I may want to park a truck/trailer if we end up trailering my car.

Michael,
The offer is there for your truck and trailer. I've always just left my tow rig at the host hotel, but this time its a different hotel every night.
So far @Cairo94507 and @bkrantz have reached out and we will end up at my daughter house to leave your rigs there. We are both located on the northwest side of Las Vegas and its about a 1 - 1.5 hours away (81 miles) from Mesquite.
Mike

@mxkinn01 - Thank you Mike. I will let you know if I am able to trailer my car. I really appreciate being able to stage the truck/trailer if we do.

@mxkinn01 – Hi Mike, I think I will be trailering my 6 for it first big outing and long shake down. I am lowering my 2022 Honda Ridgeline next week (2 inches Front and 3 inches for rear) and I have to work out the tow set up. Mike has a lowered truck. I may be better off towing to each set up, just not sure as of today

Riverside Resort has charged my credit card for $132, and said that this "advance" deposit will be refunded in the final bill at check in. This early debit to my card appears out of normal practice. Am I missing something?
