Okay, I would like to say thank you to all who have helped so far in getting the planning for WCC in PDX 2006 to this point.
I have been able to get the Monarch Motor Hotel for our meeting place. Rooms will be $89.00 per single or duoble occupancy plus a low 7% room tax. We are using 50 cars and 100 guests as our standard for the hotel. We can increase that figure if needed.
We will have a King suite and two adjoining Queen rooms for our meet and greet and registration room.
Website for the Monarch is here http://www.monarchhotel.cc
192 guest rooms, 5 suites, Sams restaurant open dalily with room service. Lots of free parking, we should have our own area for washing cars and towels for drying them also.
It is located on I 205, there are 15 restaurants within walking distance and a major shopping mall Clackamas Town Center, 1.2 million sq ft with 185 stores, tax free shopping.
Free local transportation, and easy access to the Portland International Airport, 10 miles.
The dates for the WCC 2006 is July 7,8 and 9. This will follow the same dates as the Portland Historic Races. We will have many other events planned, Poker run, relaxing , etc.
This is just the beginning more to come, so start planning to be in Portland in July.

Well alrighty then!

Will there be 914 club umbrellas for sale before this event?

all of the 4185 members planning on attending should pm/email craig asap. consider posting a link at the boid. the historics is a nice tie in. gonna be a long weekend in portland. the best part...? I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE TO CALIFORNIA!!!

K

Hell no, we don't use umbrellas here cause the wind turns them inside out. Clear plastic slickers, uniform of the day or just hunker down and get wet.

Actually, after the 4th of July the weather gets nice. The challenge will be staying cool. Don't tell Kevin that cause he wants everyone to think the PNW sucks.

Man I'm gettin excited already

Dave

I'm in! Let's have a fun and very interesting caravan from the south! I am going to haul my car in my enclosed race trailer ( generator, compressor, power tools). It will work as a support vehicle for the club. SoCal contingent, let's plan a hook up with our friends in the bay area on the way north. Joe O and friends, "mi casa es su casa!" on your way over.....

Yay!!!

Who's putting together the paypal account for Mile's ticket???

914 drivers can't afford clear slickers. Garbage bag with 3 holes works best.

We will be there. I think with gas going the way it is we are going to fly out on passes. I can pay for the trip off of what I dont spend on gas Gonna try to farm out the kids for the weekend. My Birthday is on the 8th so its a double party day

Inlaws are in Vancouver, Guess I'll have to visit them.

How had driven chicago to Portland in their 914?

Only 320 days until WCC 2006
I better start now if my 914 is going to be ready in time.


To do list:
1.) Fill gas tank.
2.) Check tire pressure.
3.) Wash windshield.


OK. I'm ready.

Will, I bought a very nice original '71 with 95,000 miles and drove Chicago-Portland in Oct. of '02. Daylight only, 4 days, about 600 miles per day. Great fun. Would not have been with a break-down in middle of Nebraska!

Wow... Portland...

Now's the big question -- do I drive the teener and hope it doesn't overheat?

Or fly and bum a teener off someone?

Hay Craig, I forgot the password to the link.
Refresh me

Okay, Looks like people are startng to wakeup to the idea of the WCC 2006 in PDX. This year on the 8th we had a huge downpour and the remaining two days and many days after were absolutely sunny and warm. So umbrellas could get double duty in Portland.
Sponsors, feel free to let us know who you are and step up.
After the Camarillo event, alot of people expressed interest in a more laid back atmosphere for the WCC 2006, well you can make it what you want. I think alot of people were more than happy to visit the Tokillya Wagon that Joe Sharp brought over. Start now Joe and you will be there on time.
I can contact a transporter that I use to find out the cost for those who might want to have there cars transported up.
CAMP 914 may have an Arrive and Drive program in place by then also.
More to follow.
Craig
.

Someone make this a sticky. I could caravan up with some people on the 6th, get there early. About a 17-18 hour drive from SoCal?

I know some of us won't make plans until the last minute (me last year). I had such a wonderful [drunken] time I want to make definite plans for next year. Plus I get some paid days off

I would imagine some of the local guys might be willing to host a driver.

I would be but, I'll have a 16 year old pup intent on proving he's the next Fangio. If he's anything like his dad our family will be favorites for the most cones killed by one family. I pity the people in the other run groups.

Should be fun.

Dave

Any place in Portland that rents exotic cars? If we fly that may be a fun treat.

Hot Dog!!!!

This is going to be fun!

I'm stoked!

Hell YEAH! I'm scared my car still won't be ready.

P.S. no sticky threads yet, since it's still a long ways off.

less time on the computer=more time in the garage. unfinished cars hasn't stopped anyone the past 2 years. don't worry mark, this will be 100 pages long in no time. for those that may attend... if you have never been to the BEAUTIFUL pacific northwest give yourselve's a few extra days to explore. i will have limo service from seatac to tacoma, the city of destiny, a night or 2, or 3, or?, of lodging, and an extra seat in each car(2) to portland. reservations are being taken. ed?, miles?(show up or be a turd this time) and pasture for your best friend.

put the powers family down for 2 craig. CONFIRMED. what are the track fees?

k

Marcie & Mark are in, Craig. This will be an adventure!

So the plan is: Take two weeks of vacation, drive to SoCal first, spend some time preparing (I mean shooting the shit with you guys for a few days) for the WCC, and then caravan up to Oregon. Sounds fabulous to me...the question is will Turltegirls 914 be ready, or will we just be bringing the RS? Only time will tell!

My 12 year old Sarah is already planning a snowboarding trip to Mt. Hood, then late afternoon in the waterpark. I guess we'll bring down the 914 and the Pilot.

Dave

the other ski area near government camp used to have a toboggan run for the summer months. little wheeled contraptions shooting down a pretty long banked run. fun.

k

Yeah Kevin, it's called the alpine slide at Ski Bowl. Mucho fun, could get serious road rash if you blow out. They also have a bungie jump, go carts, mountain biking down the hill. Bungie or Beer? Beer wins. I'd probably just pee myself on the bungie thing.

We are planning a road trip up through Mt. Hood, the gorge with a stop at McMenamens Edgefield Brewery. That will be a great day trip.

Looking forward to hosting all you guys. Portland ROCKS!

Gary

In my best littlle old lady voice "Where's the cones?"

I really love the shorter courses you guys run.

Dave

gary, for those that like to live life on the edge, is that micro brewery still in business right in gov camp? i woke up with a pounder after a session in there years ago. jumps from heights , with big rubberbands tied to my ankles is not my idea of fun.

k

I don't think there will be a "real" autocross as part of WCC '06. There is a very short one held as a charity fund raiser on the infield during the historic races. I believe it costs $5 a run and might be fun, but not like a PCA or SCCA event.
Might be used to settle a bet or two among our members.

At the end of three days I think the low key Autocross at the Historics will give evryone the chance to run there car against others and the clock without pushing it to the point of breaking and having to worry about a tow home.

you can count me in!!
really lookin forward to it....

Confirming vacation days this week

I would like to get a count of who is going to be making hotel reservations for the WCC 2006 in PDX. I relaize we have a headcount of about 94 people, but I would like to nail down the actual number of rooms we may need.

The Hotel will be the Monarch Motor hotel. http://www.monarchhotel.cc Rates are Singles/Doubles $89.00,Triples $99.00, Quads $109.00, Suites $169.00. There is a 7% room tax, this is less than other hotels in the area.
I have reserved for the WCC July 7 and 8, 50 rooms. I would like to let them know if we will need more by the first of 2006, I am sure we will be able to squeeze in a few if needed after that time.

We have a suite and two adjoining rooms, I someone wants to stay in the suite, please let me know. Please note this rooms will be a meeting place for registration and other event activities.
Thank you
Craig C. Laughlin

I will be there! Either in a 914 or my f150! or maybe both!! Kev, gotta car hauler I can barrow?
