Thanks, dankesheon, gracias to all mentioned. Wife and I had a great time meeting everyone. Although Andy was quite intimidating (must be the boots) until we got the courage (aka "beer") to say "Hello".
Glad you could make it Andy.

GTS Seats,seats to sit in and information
Meguairs,waxes and door prize goodie boxes

Monarch Hotel for putting up with us and giving us a good dinner and lunches daily, meeting rooms and lodging for a few people who needed a place to crash.
Aaron Gilihan was in charge of the silent auction and he has the list of people who sent in the items for the auction.
He is on a 2 week vacation, which I feel like I would like to take, but instead I am heading out this weekend for a Goodguys car show in Puyallup.
Planning is already underway for the 2007 Pacific Northwest CAMP Classic, to be held during the Vintage Races at PIR in Portland. This event is to attract the Washington Oregon 914 contingent. Anyone can attend.
Nothing as big as WCC just a short weekend at the races.

Thanks to everyone that made this happen by coming to Portland
I wanted to go to the previous ones but couldn't, and now the fantasy has come true. What also came true for me was to be with a large group of car lovers zoomin' down the highway. Being able to lead 50+ 914 down the freeway into PIR like a parade was the most incredible feeling. One I will never forget.
The car I had throughout the WCC belongs to Barrett my Bro N law. I gave him the keys on Sunday to lead us to PIR. He asken me if we should go slow down the freeway!
I said Nope! drive it like you stole it and he did. Zip'n around cars in N outta traffic. The best part was watch'n all the teeners doin the same. A multitude of colors in n out zip'n here N there with people pointing at all the 914's just a fly'n.
This was the coolest and I thank you all

Although I was actually more of a wedding crasher and not an official participant I want to say thank you to Jim Chambers for picking me up at the airport and driving me back to his house to pick up the "Submarine" aka Bumble Bee Racer.
Jim got what he asked for the car and I got a good deal. I am still tickled pink...
Another thanks goes out to Jeff Hines who met with me to discuss the engine. I couldn't think of questions then but I have a couple now...
Thanks to Mike Mueller for answering all of my silly bearing questions... I will be in touch.
The drive back was very long. The car actually gets about 20+ miles to the gallon so stopping every 100 miles was a bit of overkill but I appreciate Jim looking out for me. Better safe than empty...
I enjoyed my brief visit to the WCC and I will try to attend next year as a participant... You guys really looked like you were having fun..

Thanks Dave Hunt, Mile Wills, and Thomas for the rides--I'll have my car ready for 2007.
Thanks for all those people who regularly post and I got to meet like Grasshopper, Bleysang, and others.

What a great time!
I want to thank Craig and Aaron and Jim for making it all happen. But I just can't get over Sir Andy and McMark for jumping in and helping put my spare tire on. This picture looks like I'm doing something, but those two did almost everything and we had never met. What a great bunch of folks! I've hung out with all kinds of Motorcycle and car people for years, but this is just the nicest group I've ever been around.
Thanks so much!

Thanks. I have more pix, but I ran out of steam last night making them web-ready
I have 180
I'll post them on Kodak Gallery later. Stay tuned...
My folks had such a great time that my dad is now calling himself a
born-again 914 fan! He even put a deposit down on Leemon's conourse-condition original, one-owner 1.7
So we're about to become a 2 Teener family
This un-club is such a wonderful community...Thanks ya'll:clap:

seems to be a trend at WCC to buy or sell cars. We should do musical cars. Everyone arrives at the next WCC with a 914, and leaves with a different one. The following year, we swap again. That's a cheaper way to keep your car new and exciting!!

Thanks to everyone for such a fun weekend right in my backyard. I feel really lucky on the timing. Being a newbie - my wife and I didn't know who we were talking to half the time and they didn't know us. But the good part is it didn't matter! Nice folks, good clean fun (we missed the yoga lessons).
It was also great to meet all the other Oregon 14'ers. We should keep in touch for when one of us gets pinned under a car someday.
Finally, let's be sure to keep that great Oregon weather as our little secret - don't want people getting any ideas.
