I'll take any recommendations - even travel at night. I'm hoping smarter drivers than I will be leading this sheep (Jamie?, Greenie?, ???)
Kevin - are you going?

Hey Kevin,
I'm open to whatever for driving down. I only took the 14,15 & the 18th off of work. So I'd be willing to leave Wednesday after work & go part way. Or just leave nce & early thursday morning. I would think we should get to at least Sac if not further south. If we go to Sac how much further to WCR? 4-5 hours driving? Really shouldn't be a problem to be there friday with plenty of time to spare. Heck we got 3 months to get this planned. We should be able to figure it out in that time

Sackatomatoes would be a pretty easy drive from Corvallis. I left home at 8:00 and got there at 6:30, with well over an hour spent stopped for lunch and picking up a dashboard from some guy.

I'd say an easy 8 hours from Corvallis to Sac, and another 45 min or so to Stockton. I'm not real familiar with Cali, but I think things get pretty sparse after Stockton. Stockton to Irvine looks like another 6 hours or so.

Are you driving the V8, or trailering it?

Oh Great! I knew she was up to something!

I don't know yet. I think probably trailering it. Better safe than sorry & knowing my luck with WCR I am better off having a way to get it home should something break. I also should have the creamsickle back & ready. I may go crazy & take it instead. I doubt it but who the heck knows Either way I'll have room should you decide to ride down Todd

I will be providing some directions to follow for the L.A. area that will make your traffic as easy on you a possible. I've been working in this shit for 30 years and there are some tricks to it.

This event sounds like a blast, I'd really like to go. I'm not willing to drive the V8 car 2000 miles but the S2 should make the trip just fine. If the PNW 914 caravan doesn't mind a 944 jumping in the mix, I'd like to roll down with you guys. So you guys are taking 101 all the way right? Juskidn. Paul S.

Watch out for the Registration Thread. Should be up in a day or 2.

I plan on coming with my 914 (again). Will non-914s be permitted for the track day? My brother may want to join with his 993...

NOT AN AUTO X! java script:emoticon(':poke:',%20'smid_36')
Real Racing, non of that FLATLAND stuff; twisties, elevation changes, downhill straight away, THE BOWL!!!!!
So all you flatlanders need to adjust your suspensions, otherwise all you will see is flashing head lamps (in your rearview mirror)and red tail lights (in your windshield).
I will have fun!java script:emoticon(':trophy:',%20'smid_52')

Soooo.....you use the teener as an "off road" vehicle I see....too much giddyaup and not enough whoa...???? Oh, by the way, I've done that myself......many times...,as Howie said the last time we were at Streets in 2006, and I looped my car....."Oh what a lovely maneuver that was....I just held back and watched you spin...."

I think I'll dust off GTEENER and join in the fun this year

My dad just informed me he wants to come play too.

I'll be driving the 914 up from San Diego. Does anyone in San Diego have extra room in a truck or trailer to drag up 4 wheels & tires for the track day?

-Steve

Steve: I just saw the calender for the PCA OCR and they are having an A/X at El Toro the 17th. Looks like Tech will be late on Sunday in Lancaster. I'm sure that some of us would like to go to El Toro.

For those of us who don't own a helmet, is there a way to rent one from the track?

Keep in touch. We will probably meet up with you as you head down through the Monterey Bay Area. Planning on heading out Friday morning.

Count me in on the caravan on it's way thru the San Jose area!

I REALLY want to be on the track for WCR 2009 so I'd love to know how to handle the need for a helmet.

I've got a helmet to loan you Ernie but you'll have to share it.

Very cool! Thanks Joe!

What are the specs on the helmets? Will a motorcycle helmet work?

Yes a motor cycle helmet will work, I think they have to be at least Snell 2000.

Can that be verified? Before I schlep a helmet 1000 miles that is. No sense taking up valuable trunk space if it's too old. Mine is a 2000.

> Yes a motor cycle helmet will work, I think they have to be at least Snell 2000.

If so, that would be the first track day I've ever been to that allows motorcycle helmets.

I don't own a helmet and need to get one eventually. What is the minimum ratiing?

Does it HAVE TO BE full faced? I really hate full faced helmets...

Is this a good rating? Snell SA2005 Certification

Hey Rick, yes thats the lattest. We will have to show a helmet at tech. People will be loaning their helmets out. What you wind up on the track with will be a different helmet each time you go out. Open face is fine, but I think you will need eye protection, ie face shield.

Unless I trade GTEENER for ssstikircr's Mini

Well folks, the trade has been confirmed.

Come the Spring (before March) I will be 914less....

Ya'll make sure that ssstikircr takes good care of GTEENER.

Thanks for the wild ride these past 10 years

Gwen: Mini's will be accepted at the WCR. Your still a part of this community.

Any news on when we'll be able to register?

I was there, and God help her, she asked MY advice on this trade. I am telling you now, if you drew blood and checked Gwen's hemoglobin it would come back 9.14mg/dl. She will be back with another 914. She has wanted a mini since she was a little girl. This one is sweet too!

So what do i get for my $91.46 bones.... lol at Mr Greenie......Will there be trailer parking and if its close to LA will the trailer get JACKED

There should be no problems with trailers. I will be bring the Team NARP trailer every I go.

Your the best Joe. Thanks!
I do still fall into the NARP category

Cool!! but Im really still on the fence.If i put willows on my(tracks to run on) bucket list i have to go ..40/60 right now

On the fence uh, think about this. There is an A/X less that a mile from the hotel on Sunday, then go to the party in Lancaster and rest up for the Track day at Willow Monday.

ok now im 55/45..the AX "and" willows pushed me over ..got to clear it with the warden! shouldnt be an issue

This is NOT a trailer park! This is a real race track:)

I'd say it qualifies as a NARP! Engine in the front and sideways, steering wheel on the left. Some sort of 'furrin' flag on the roof. But hey! She has wanted one since she was a little girl!

Your not mocking me are you Rob?

Bring it Gwen, remember there is a trophy for best nonNARP. Thats all vehicels other than 914's. The motor home almost got it one year at the RRC. I was given Long Distance instead.

tempting...

Oh heck no... If I had known Alex was open to horse trading I would have tempted him with a BMW Motorcycle or a 240Z... You got a good deal. Both of you...

Come on now, you knew he was open to horse trading. That's what his classified ad said.
But he wanted a 914-6 conversion which I don't see you offering.. luckily for me...

Nope... I was clueless. I never saw his ad. I was just hoping he would show up as he said he was buying a 914 and hoped to have it by Saturday... I never even go to the cars for sale ads...

Your Dad clued me in when you were talking about going for a drive...

Back on topic ...so Im now 80/20..whats the typical weather there in May.It is Cali so i suppose its warm but how warm.Any word on Hotels and registration

The weather here in May is warm and at the worst, overcast. We have picked out the hotels and as of last night the registration form is complete but not secured. We should be able to have it up for you by Valentines Day. We have to get it through Committee.

WWHD..........*we don't need no stinkin committee*


Hi Howie


Lisa

I'm soooooo down. My car has to be done by then, because my Explorer is no longer mine as of April 20th. The only thing is, I might ahve finals on Monday....

I'll try to talk my dad into finishing his 6. It just has to be assembled!
