Rob, I got a picture for you for this thread.

we're gassing up and getting ready to go!

I'm trying to quit. Down to a quart a day. The toughest time for me is with my morning Java.

OOoooo! Dave! SMOKE them brakes!!!

Let's hear your plans! Who is going to come and are you going to caravan? Longest trip I have heard so far is Rick and his wife coming from Duluth Minnesota. That is about 1700 miles... I am from Minneapolis so I have done that road trip... So what are YOUR plans???

You will want to be at WCR 2010 at Lake Tahoe if only for the pictures... Your car will think it is a supermodel! Everywhere you turn is a scene so beautiful you will be taking a picture. Even the garbage cans are scenic Make your plans and bring your camera!

Count yourself lucky that WCR 2010 is at Lake Tahoe! It could have been at the Donut Shop!!!

WCR 2010! Party at the Lake! Bring your suit! Except um.... Well - most of us. I suspect they have an ordinance or something.

Well we have a little time here, but I plan to rip my car down over the winter and fix some issues I have been wanting to get to. Like rust. Yep, I have a couple of spots to repair.

Also I plan on adding my Alien bars for Roll Control. I madde some 4130 hollow anti-sway bars a couple years back but have not had time to install them.

Oh and I plan on rebuilding my engine mount bar and enlarging my custom made oil pan.



Then, I am going to see if there are any other brave souls from MN or points east that want to hook up and caravan.

Umm I think the local is a great Idea and I really want to attend but,
did anyone consider that the 9/17, 18, 19th is AFTER school starts in the fall?

Seeing as I am from Minnesota the Minnesota guys will get a beer on me the first night. Then we can stand around in the parking lot until 2am telling Oly and Lena jokes for those guys who think the Nordic people have no humor!

A couple rust spots!!! How did the MnDOT miss you're car???

Yes...that was one of the big selling points. Have you ever seen what Tahoe looks like during a summer weekend BEFORE school gets out? We'd be lucky to get 2 miles in during our 4 hour drive!

Yes Rich it was considered. In fact it should clear up some of the normal congestion that Tahoe gets before school is in session. We haven't decided what to do with Nicho yet. We will probably just have him stay with a classmate for the weekend. Many of us have empty nests and others have not started a family yet. Nicho is such a good student that we may even pull him out Thursday Friday and let him come... The school discourages it but he is so far ahead of the curve he could use the handicap. Really smart like McMark but better looking!

Friends make friends go to WCR 2010 at Lake Tahoe... It's the right thing to do.

Ya yoU betcHA For suRE..

It spent most of it's life in San Mateo. But I now have the dreaded sail panel rust peaking through and a small blister at the lower corner of my front fender.

Not a big issue for me, but time to repair is. So, we drive it instead of standing back and throwing sugar at it.

Ahhh... San Mateo is close enough to the ocean that it gets salt sea air instead of salted roads... Still good though.

We are just about 1 year away from the WCR 2010 Porsches at the Lake Event! Plan your projects so you will be done and have some shakedown time before the event... We need to see you there!

The plans are cooking! You should smell the sweet aroma of what we have cooking for WCR 2010 Porsches at the Lake! Make your plans to be there!

The sponsor support should be fantastic! We already have lots of member vendor commitment. You shouldn't miss this! Bring the family. Enjoy this storied lake...

Lot's of our WCR 2010 plans will come together next week when we visit the Cool September Nights event and see what our sister event is like... Watch here next week for pics of what the "other side of the parking lot" is going to look like!

We are about a year and a week from WCR 2010! The planning committee will be climbing the hill next week to get a close look at the venue and practice partying! Quality control thing... You understand? Make your plans to attend!

The time left to get your 914 ready for WCR 2010 is about to click under a year. This coming weekend will be roughly one year from the big event! I know I have work to do. How about you?

What whacky awards will be given out at the WCR 2010? You will have to be there to know!

Well, it's been hours since Rob posted a pic, so I thought I'd share a couple pics I took around Tahoe this year.

...

See what I mean? You literally can just point the camera in almost any direction and shoot. The beauty is prolific, ubiquitous if we use McMark's word of the day... Be sure to make your plans to come to the WCR 2010 at Lake Tahoe...

About one year from now, we will be meeting to kick off WCR 2010 at Lake Tahoe. Some tips for a stress free event from the participant side: Be sure to request the time off when you preschedule vacation if that is your company policy. Be sure to save enough of your vacation time so that your request doesn't get turned down. Be sure to have all the projects wrapped up and allow for testing time especially if you are driving to the event! Be sure to bring beer money because it is your turn to buy!

Sharpen up your 914 and Porsche knowledge. There will be a quiz! No kidding! We are putting together a quiz and we will have a prize for the sharpest 914 pencil in the World! What could you win? Visit our Member Vendors Section and dream!!! Make your plans for the 2010 WCR 914's at the Lake!

I suspect these characters will be there!

Plans are coming together for the WCR 2010 in Lake Tahoe... Just one year away! We may even have a photographer... Want some tasty shots of your 914 in a scenic place??? You know you do! Save the dates. Save the vacation time. Tell your wife so she can't say you sprung it on her too late!

So what did the WCR 2010 team do yesterday? We were on a double-secret recon mission (ok, we announced it every day for a month so it wasn't that secret). We went up to Tahoe in a caravan of three cars, all six cylinders for you six vs. four asshats. Paul in his black 3.6, me in my Carrera 3.2, and Justin in his 3.0. We intended to check the parking lot and attend the Cool September Days Event that we will partner with next year. The economy has been hard on the event this year and Tom the organizer said he was down about 100 cars. We saw at least 100 so it was still substantial. The lot is not perfect for the autocross but few are and it will do nicely.

What follows is a picture-fest of what I thought was cool and interesting. I was a heavily influenced by my father in my teens who was a street rod guy but somehow veered to the sports car side when I discovered autocrossing.

These first three pictures include a Ghia that was for sale for $8K, Paul's 3.6, and my Carrera (sorry Justin, you just barely appear beyond my camera hog Carrera), and some of my favorite street rods, a 50's Chevrolet pickup.

But wait there's more! If you sign up for WCR 2010 we will include...

We had a bug or two at the event... This drop top shows up at events all over NorCal and it was good to see it here as well... And again, my favorites are the 50's pickups. Check out the flames!

In addition to our two 914's and a Carrera, there were two other Porsche cars at the event. I saw a 928S in the parking lot and there was a '76 912 entered with RAT credits in the description.

What would the world outside of 914World be like without Thunderbirds?

There were tasty 50's Chevrolets everywhere you looked!

One of my favorite 50's Chevrolets is the '58 and this one was very nice. Too bad this was the best pic I could get as it was tucked into the shadows a bit.

Those Buick grills have so much character. My son said right away "it looks like a face!"

One token GTO at the event... No sheep though!

Need something delivered so fast it shows up with purple flames?

The 50's Ford trucks were not quite as plentiful but this one was very nice...

This red Chevrolet was my favorite but if I were to get and restore a Chevrolet pickup it would probably be a 70's C10 as they are more common and easier to buy ($)!

Two Chevs and a Mopar...

More than honorable mention!

Here is an interesting 914 connection. This tasty 57 Chevrolet with swivel seats belongs to JCD914 - Jim Dupree's in-laws from Antioch CA...

This first picture is of Jim's brother-in-law after we reminded him he was $1800.00 up at the casino so far this weekend! And if you let your eyes wander a bit to the left in that shot, you can take in some of the other umm... scenic things we saw at Cool September Days.

Another Chevrolet and then in this last shot, Jim is measuring in his head for that 427 in one of his 914's!

Another bird and Camaro and my choice of truck if I were to drive one home. Paul mentioned that he had restored one of these as well and if I know Paul, I would bet it was even nicer than this one!

There weren't as many hotrods as I expected... This one was nice though. I took this last shot of the crowd so you could see the mountains that surround the event. The scenic nature of Tahoe cannot be understated. It is so beautiful... This will be the backround of every picture you take when you come up to WCR 2010 at Lake Tahoe!

I couldn't resist another shot of my favorite truck. I would use 70's rally wheels with trim rings though... No modern crap wheels for me. This Challenger was misnamed. It was definately a winner! If I know my friend McMark, this rat-rod would have been his favorite and he would drive it to work daily at Original Customs!

More trucks! My son Nicho thought that Chevrolet had the coolest paintjob. The Ford had a nicely executed BMW style hood modification. That last truck, with the scooter and the gas powered bike in the back was up for raffle. I bought two tickets. Do you think I can teach that truck to haul a 914 on a trailer? 79 Camaro driveline and suspension...

Check out the flames! The red Chev had flames so real you wanted to stay back to keep from getting burned. They actually had dimension to them. The big Ford Truck was a 30's model. I wonder if it was ever hijacked by Capone?

This last shot had the most incredible period - correct display. On the passenger window was one of those swamp cooler AC units and it had a drive - in tray with burgers and a couple Cokes!

So there you have it. That is what the other side of the parking lot will look like at next years WCR 2010 at Lake Tahoe. They will include us in their event and invite people to watch our autocross and check out our cars... Best of all, security will be cruising around on golf carts to protect our cars...
This should be a great event so take the advice and save the dates and some vacation time!

See you at WCR 2010!

Does anybody know where the 2010 WCR is going to be held? I heard something about La Jolla Amago, CA?

What we need is a daily..., no an hourly post to keep us updated on the 2010 WCR planning...


Eric

Does anyone know the usual dates for the Red Rocks Classic for the last 5 years?

I love Lake Tahoe and am excited about having my teener there, but the more I think about this show the more I wonder. Scheduling right on top of RRCs dates is certainly a bad thing, but seeing the show that we'd be lost in does not make WCR10 look all that appealing at the moment.

You brought this up in post #2 of this thread. I apologized to anyone who was offended by our choice of dates in post #49. We have moved on from that. If you can't then move along. It is a decision that was made by a group and as I said, it has been made. Not going to be changing.

Don't worry about the street rod guys overwhelming our event. They took up maybe 1/10th of the lot! See you at WCR 2010 in Tahoe. We hope to have 100 cars and more people so really, don't worry about the other events...
