I'm coming for sure with my dad and the red baron! Looking forward to meeting you all. Any word on the plans for the weekend?

Who else booked their rooms. Lets fill the joint!

iirc, timberline lodge is about at 5200ft. just a little fat for the carbed guys.

Are you going to make cd's for the WCC again?

I could if time permits but I was bummed that they didn't seem to play in quite a few car decks (which was the whole point), and my label really sucked but it was an 11th hour effort. It would be nice to have them professionally pressed and silk-screened.

Who did the CD last year? I'm interested in seeing the playlist.

For those of you that need some questions answered, first review some of the thread to see if the answer is in an earlier posting. We are working on finalizing the agenda and I believe it was already posted. But here goes.
7th Friday Arrival, Meet and Greet, Goodie bags,regisration.

8th Run up to Mt Hood with a catered lunch supplied, photo op in lower parking lot with Mt Hood as a backdrop. Down the backside and on to the old Columbia river hiway and into Troutdale and Edgefield Manor for refreshments. Then back to the hotel for a Banquet dinner and awards.

9th Sunday Run out to Portland International Raceway for the Baxters Vintage races, 914 club car corral,parade lap and autocross.
These are all subject to change but this will give you an idea of what we are planning. Thank you Gary Chapman, and Pamela Chapman. Our Event Planning Director and co director.

PRICELESS
CCLINWCCINPDX2006

alas, no burgers and gravy for me this trip. moving a bit sideways. is there a link for the historics? the 3 day pass for the races at SIR are resonably priced, and i usually go on fri also. i'll prob swing by PIR on fri. i mean, i have so much extra time .

When do we take the 914 Tech Quiz?

Anyone from Hawaii coming up? Willing to play host to my fellow Hawaiians.
Aloha,
vince

how much are parade lap track fees?

So far this sounds like its gonna be a blast my father and I need to make reservations still but if turns out theres no room we have friends across the river we will stay with. Hopefully the car will be ready and up to it. Ben of you read this were you planning on drving your car up there too. It would be cool if we left together. Have you talked to viperman lately? I wonder if his car is ready?

Reservations made!

This photo was from last year as well. The club corrals are now on the inside of the track, near the a/x and, if it is not raining, is a very nice place to park. They improved access from two years ago. By the way, pits are open and walking around and drooling is as popular as any of the other weekend activities. Uhmmm....if I had a couple of million for spending money, this I wonder what I'd get?

Autocross in Portland GOOD. They have short courses that are easy to find your way around, great for beginners. Experts would probably want more. It should be a blast with vintage races, parade lap and AX. If it's in the infield there will big bump in the middle of a 180 degree turn. It's an opportunity to break a /4's backend loose.

Keep up the good work

Easy to find your way around.... that's a good thing! The first time I ever AX'd was at "WCC "04" I proved I wasn't easily embarrassed. I think I got lost everytime around the course. Oh Well... It was a great time! And Demmick gave me a ride In my car and then his lil Rocket!

My first (and only) AX too thanks to Demick. It was great to see a Porsche V8 powered, an EV drag, Nissan powered, Brads tube, Bill's track, and my Chevy V8 914's together on the grid.

I not only got lost I had a course worker run for her life

Haha, I didn't think the course was bad at all, not that I torn it up all that much. I just had fun!

so, we are supposed to drive up to timberline lodge, and not ski the palmer glacier? Craig, what do you think we are made of? i am only human, fergoshsakes. all that snow, and no turns.

dino has almost talked me into going, but i may have the ski rack (which i got from you, remember? thanks again!) mounted with some hippy sticks strapped in.

Bring on the toys. Skis, golf clubs, jet skis,..... We welcome one and all. If you can find the time to ski Palmer go for it.

My "event" will be drinking on the sundeck....I'm good at that and there is about a 40% lower chance of a bad fall....

Made mine, --see you on the "sun" deck Jim. what if it's raining ? Bar ???

We will have a Suite for Regisration and two ajoining rooms.
Craig

for those who have never had the pleasure of visiting timberline lodge, you're in for a real treat. architecturally, it's a gem. the scenic vistas aren't too bad either. it's a first rate drive on the way up from hoodriver.

k

I beleive we are going up the other way, and back down towards Hood River down the old highway and into Edgefield Manor. but this can all change.
Craig

the drive is just as nice going towards hoodriver from timberline.

Hood River......that brings back foggy memories (insert hangover smiley)

Booked 'Em Dano.

Anyone been to Sun River? How far from Portland? My family is interested in visiting since my sister in Seattle has a place to stay there...

prob 3 hours or better away from the party.

k

Sunriver is a whole trip unto itself. Not the kind of place you want to drive to overnight and try to make it back to PDX the next morning.
Camping in Bend area ( Century drive) one time and wokeup to snow on the ground in July. Very cold at night but hot during the day.
Craig

Pretty convenient detour coming or going. Northbound take US 97 at Weed. If going there on the way home you can cross the Cascades on I 84, US 26 or OR 58 and reach 97. As Kevin said, about 3 hours from Portland.

i did the backside way down once. 26@ gov camp to 97(?) to bend. the road was not as direct as it appeared on the map. wow, central valley north in cal to weed and then eastern oregon. like jim said, waaay too hot, for too long!!!

k

back in september i took one last drive for the season, and i decided to go see mt. st. helens. drove all the way up to the johnston ridge observatory, over 4k feet elevation. thanks to my new oil temp gauge, i could watch the temp climb to 240 degrees and stay there for an uncomfortably long time.

but the drive down was awesome, hardly a car on the road. saw a yellow elise. mountain drives are great...

~a

Reservations made. Bringing the kids too. Save me a spot on the deck.

Dave

given the hi(gh)jinx last year, you're going to need to have a little talk with the kids this year dave. perhaps invest in one of these too.

I got stranded once in Mopin... wait tillya hear that one! I have also slept in my car at timberline more times than I care to count!!!

I plan on "coming" or maybe "going" thru Bend.
My son lives there and a visit is definitely in order.

I also have long time friends in Grants Pass, so I guess
it's going to be Hwy-5 one way and Hwy-97 the other.

I don't know if Oregon is going to be CW or CCW yet.

How about the yungins? Will there be anything for the kids (5-12) to do?

Gonna get a jolly jumper and have Slits dress up like a clown and make 914 balloons?
