This is being copy-pasted from excel, so formatting doesn't transfer. 7:00-10:00 Meet at Las Vegas Cars and Coffee at 14200 S. Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89054. Introductions, breakfast, looking at cars, socializing. 10:00-17:00 Scenic Drive through Valley of Fire Park to Overton, to Hover Damn, back to the LV.

Those who want to go to sleep, have that option. The rest can accompany G911 to Spearmint Rhino. Ok, here is the proposed Sunday itinerary: Time Sunday 10:00-11:30 Meet at Peppermill Restaurant at 2985 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 for breakfast. 12:00-14:30 Karting at Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix track at 1401 N Rainbow Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89108. $46/two hour wristband. 15:00-16:30 Free time for participants to explore, take pictures, or mingle, get changed, shop etc. 17:00-24:00+ Meet for drinks, food and final "goodbyes" at Hofbr�uhaus at 4510 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89169. 24:00+ Sleep or drive home time for the remaining attendees. For karting, the cheapest option right now is for us to show up for the LVMGP and buy the $46 two hour unlimited rides band and drive race with each other and other guests. If we rent the track on Sunday, assuming we get total of 25 people then it still comes out to $120/person+food. Attendees list as of 1/6/2017: Kalashnikov +2 Gonzo911 Kcattorney HawkFan#12 (LV) Docmirror Slakker Flat6Music JayG DTMiller IkoIko911 TonyTwoBags + Spouse PmKazz 996AE Spork Gnat* Cuda911* Stan23 Bash Hat ***END UPDATE*** Ok gents. Time to get serious. The plan is to meet in Vegas this summer. 2-3 days tops. Rent a track for a day. Allegedly go to a few strip clubs. Maybe have a beer or two, unless you are DT Miller in which case...well...you know. Cuda will design a commemorative T Shirt that will no doubt, have a small flaw of some kind and will arrive several weeks after the event. KC will be there so at least we have an attorney with us, you know...just in case. 5CHN3LL said he's in, I think, but he uses big words and I mostly don't understand them. gnat might show up, but only if Gretch does too. He is a pendant after all. I hope, I hope, I hope, Johnny Irish shows up... Tony2 said he is in, but is unsure if he wants to leave CO during the only good month of the year. Let's see what Macster has to say...in 10,000 words or less... Slakker is bringing his toy hauler, so I will have my choice of 996's to track (don't want to get my pristine 997.2 dirty). Kalash and I are in charge of organizing which means not much will really get done. We do have some new blood in Vegas that could possibly help out, but we shall see. Looking for input on dates, whether track time is important (yawn----might cut into my drinking time), where to stay and what else to do besides Cheetah's, the Rhino and Olympic Garden. Please discuss...

You have the Rhino in there somewhere, right?

Oh, and DTM is a way smarter attorney than I am. Case in point, at 7 pm tonight, I will still be chained to my desk working with a client. He won't be.

Sounds fun; put me down for a definite maybe.

Good reading comprehension counselor...

Well I use to have a 996 so I'm thinking about it. 28 hour drive might do my head some piece of mind. Plus..........there WILL be boobies!

Quotes source post: 13779803

An issue of such import deserves, nay - demands - repetition.

Quotes source post: 13779827

But wait, will boobies even be allowed ? Apparently management is anti-boobies, so is there going to be a mod following us around with a roll of black duct tape to cover up any exposed nipples?

Quotes source post: 13779827

Not if Gretch is there.

Gonzo - be sure to invite that couple you had over to your house for Thanksgiving. Did you ever figure out their names?

Quotes source post: 13779827

It would be nice to see your one of a kind 997 Ideas: - Scenic drive to Mt. Charleston. I have a beater DSLR and can do some glamour shots - Investigate road quality in the Valley of Fire

Quotes source post: 13779827

You're picking me up on the way, right?

We'll need some attorneys. Study up KC. http://www.shouselaw.com/nevada/streetracing.html

I would be interested it this.... :-)

On serious note. Let's aim this for late April-May-Early June period. So it is not too hot. Friday-Sunday. We need firm commitments though. I'll do some research to see what weekends are not packed in Vegas so we aren't competing with "Blue Man Group" fans for hotel rooms and parking spots. The obvious "fun" driving thing would be the Exotic Racing, but if locals have suggestions for the track. Throw them out. I just bought me a Snell 2015 helmet, so I am ready and protected.

Early June works best for me. Will be in San Diego in mid-March, Germany in late April. Will probably bring a couple of buddies with me that I typically go to Vegas with for a guys' trip and we normally do that in early June.

count me in to help as for a drive, if this takes place in January - we won't want to goto Mt. Charleston..... lots of snow and often chains are required to go up there. but - the Valley of Fire and or Death Valley would be great. I do the Valley of Fire drive a lot - the valley is spectacular to look at... but this part is a State Park and they are REALLY strict about speed... so it isn't that fun to drive..... BUT - then you exit the park and can enter Lake Mead National Park and run down lake shore drive all the way to hoover dam. No Cops and one of the smoothest and best stretches of asphalt I have ever been on. we typically meet-up at Las Vegas Motor Speedway - head up and tour Valley of Fire, then brunch/lunch in Overton and then down through Lake Mead Park to hoover dam. total drive is about 160 miles.

Quotes source post: 13779923

I already did...Got drunk again on Thanksgiving and invited them. I think their names are Dude and Sweetie. Crap.

Quotes source post: 13780017

I'd recommend the new Speed Vegas over Exotic. They have a purpose-built new track - haven't run it yet but have heard it's a ton of fun. they now host the local Cars and Coffee event as well

another thing to see: The Porsche Dealer in town (Gaudin) is the first official "Porsche Classics" dealer in the nation and their showroom if FULL of very expensive old Porsches..... we should each buy one.

I am not sure why I thought you guys were thinking January. but as for time of year - yes avoid summer; its too damn hot If you truly wanna do some track time - (4) times per year the local PCA club rents out the 3.4 mile track at Spring Mountain Motorsports Park in Pahrump - about 45 miles away from Vegas. PCA will release the dates for these events in January...... so you could try to schedule this event around a track day. BUT these track days are "full days" and there may not be that much energy and you'd have to drive about an hour back to vegas. OR every first Sunday of the month the Porsche club hosts a big breakfast... if trip was planned on a 1st weekend we could bring a big 996 contingent. we could also goto Cars and Coffee - held every weekend.

I have a very vivid mental image of how this might go down...

I'm arriving in Vegas on Saturday. I'll check on things. By things, I mean a pai gow table and the beer supply.

Count me in As Iko mentioned, Spring Mountain in Pahrump is a great track. Not a lot to do in Pahrump, but they do have a few casinos and for those that partake, brothels are legal there

Quotes source post: 13780218

Pretty sure I'll save my $$ for the more wholesome activities like the track, a good steakhouse, liquor, blackjack tables and strip clubs.

Quotes source post: 13780218

What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas. Except for that raging case of herpes you picked up at the legal brothel...

Quotes source post: 13780103

Good info, thanks!

Nice editing of a quote Gonzo

It's still a quote if you use the same words, right? The order doesn't matter all that much...

Sounds like a blast. Memorial Weekend and the one after are out for me otherwise I'm good. If we rent a track I'll haul the toy out there. If we do a drive exotic or equivalent I'll probably just fly.

Rennlist in Vegas.

Quotes source post: 13781067

^^^^yeah...we look exactly like that...

Or........

Oh, no, definitely this:

Quotes source post: 13781133

I lol'd

I love all of the interest in this. It has been a while since I was a part of an automotive group. i have lived in Henderson (just outside Vegas) for a couple years now. Been to Valley of Fire a couple times. It would be great for photos as the scenery is great, but low speeds so wouldn't be a "spirited" drive in the park anyway. Same with Red Rock Canyon, not as many photo ops there either. If if we can get the local Vegas crew on an email chain, we can throw together some plans before making things official.

Count me in to most definitely possibly consider thinking about maybe showing up if someone swings buy, drugs me, ties me up, and transports me in their frunk. DT, while you're researching, find out what kind of buy in a slightly used golden IMSB will get me.

Quotes source post: 13780787

Pete and I will swing by OKC to pick you up. There's plenty of room in his backseat for you.

Quotes source post: 13781400

Oh, you're going, you annoying little bastard. Vegas is perfect for you.

Quotes source post: 13781430

I feel you have insulted me or maybe you didn't insult me enough, not sure. Either way, where the hell is Gretch to deal with such things? RLOT is right, there is a Moderator Conspiracy! P.S. I have been reminded that I do not and never have owned a 996, so I'm not allowed to attend. And to be clear, it's not the drinking, gambling, strip clubs, or track days that she has a problem with. It's you people

Set gnat free post.

BTW, got my office painted last week. Will have a pic for you shortly. And you ARE going to Vegas. Your wife can use some alone time.

Make Gnat Great Again . _ mgLfAig.gif

I can help I am a resident in Vegas

I'll volunteer. That actually sounds pretty fun. Now if I can just convince the police I had your permission the rest should be easy. Sounds like a plan. I've heard the 997s have a much larger back seat so it should be all good.

Bringing this back to the front page. How is the weekend of June 10th and 11th sound to people? If dates are set then, we need to get firm commitments from people who are going and I will reach out to locals to plan out the driving and events.

Not to question the little progress we have made so far but are there any existing DE track days would could schedule this around? Or are you thinking the exotic drive route? The later might be a lot easier to pull off.

I am thinking scenic drive day 1, followed by drinks, entertainment on the strip. Track rental for a few hours or exotic day 2. Once date and participants are finalized, the itinerary will be easy to plan out.

June 10-11 works for me.

In.

Ok, I have the spreadsheet going for the attendees. 10 confirmed attendees gets this set in stone. As far as hotels go options are: Gold Coast Hotel + Casino, Stratosphere, Monte Carlo, or Treasury Island.

Quotes source post: 13799743

Get the **** out poor people hotels.

Looking for an excuse to drive down the 101 again. I'm maybe in if this is actually a thing...

Hard Rock is reasonably fun/inexpensive. Odds are we won't find one place everyone likes and can afford, so maybe focus on the events?

DTM & Tony, is this a commitment to attend? This is not serious thread, where 996 section will be ambition and not rubbish.

My agent faxed over the commitment letter last week

Although I don't have a 996 right this moment, I am in as well. Early June the weather won't be unbearable to be out in, just a bit hot. As as far as location, why not stay off the strip at Green Valley Ranch or the M? We can always cruise down the strip. Being local I typically stay away unless I am seeing a show.

So, in your driveway?

Quotes source post: 13781798

Back seat??? You have the roof rack seat.

Quotes source post: 13799604

I'm in for that. However, if my being 'in' will mean that others will be opting 'out' I can go ahead and decline. No prob. My car will be for sale then, so I'll get lots of insurance so we can thrash the living shilt out of it, then sell it to some unsuspecting rube (ya know - gnat, or equiv).

Couple suggestions. Those who visit other Porsche boards please cross-pollinate this event. More the merrier. Get a block of rooms lined up somewhere, like the Rio(I'm not a fan of the strip). Come up with a quirky but memorable name so we can rally around it and lord it over those not in the know. I was thinking 'Porsch-gasm Vegas' - clearly, I'm not very creative. Make this a sticky please mods/admin?

It doesn't matter where we stay as long as it's Encore, Aria or Cosmo. I do have my standards. I will gamble anywhere as long as it's not Caesar's. I can't go back there. Any strip club is good so long as it starts with Spearmint and ends in Rhino. June is great since I will likely be at the pool while you guys waste your time at the track. I'm not very picky...

Don't be so self absorbed doc. We can't wait to see if you are as grouchy of an old cuss in person as you are online! Looking forward to it! Count me in by the way.

Just had a week at the green valley ranch for work. Nice place, cute baristas at the Starbucks inside.

Quotes source post: 13800266

I was channeling my inner Groucho; 'I would not want to be a member, of any club which would have someone like me as a member'. Oh, and get the hell off my lawn! whippersnapper.....

Quotes source post: 13800197

and yes, we can BBQ one evening at my place. It would be great to fill my street with 996's! Lol

I am liking the constructive suggestions. Definitely distribute this to other Porsche forums and friends. +1 on the name idea as well. My take - Rennrun 2017- Las Vegas , feel free to make your own suggestions. I will employ B3Freak to make a solid flyer once name, itinerary, and locations are finalized so that can be distributed. Local Vegas people who are interested in helping and have suggestions for roads and events, post up and PM me with your contact #. I will work on getting this wrapped up before the end of the year, so come 2017 the entire enterprise is set in stone.

https://www.vegas.com/shows/magic/na...earchResults=1 ?

will there be participation trophies

Ofcourse.

Does the Porschepalooza Vegas Run include a track day? Does the 996 Strip Club Run include antibiotics? Either way, I'm game. And with enough people on two-way radios and a concerted effort, some triple digit runs could happen without you-know-who citing anyone. What a second! Did I write that or just think that? Never mind... sort of

Stan....interested in going to this once dates are finalized? Subscribed....might bring some other P-Cars out with me on this one.

G911, can you edit your original post to keep track of the "confirmed" attendees? Right now this is what I have: Kalashnikov Gonzo911 (Kevin) Kcattorney HawkFan#12 (LV) Docmirror Slakker Flat6Music Proposed itinerary for Saturday, 6/10/2017. This is being copy-pasted from excel, so formatting doesn't transfer. 7:00-10:00 Meet at Las Vegas Cars and Coffee at 14200 S. Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89054. Introductions, breakfast, looking at cars, socializing. 10:00-17:00 Scenic Drive through Valley of Fire Park to Overton, to Hover Damn, back to the LV.

Those who want to go to sleep, have that option. The rest can accompany G911 to Pink Rhino.

I can help plan the drives.... I will be driving one of the routes this weekend, as the IMS is now complete and I can really open her up :-)

Quotes source post: 13799743

stay downtown, they've really upped the game in old vegas, plus the drinks and food are a ton cheaper

Cool ^^. Iko, do you have any color on the LVMS rates? I am thinking of renting both the short circuit and drag strip for 2-3 hours on Sunday. If you can get any color on that, would appreciate it.

Well, I guess I'll be there one way or another. If I sell my car I'll come over anyway or might have a coupe by then. Won't need a place to stay though as I will stay with friends.

Quotes source post: 13801309

Done.

Saturday itinerary looks great Kalash, should be a fun one. I'm probably headed down to Vegas again for a long Christmas weekend and some climbing at Red Rock. Get to take the 996 this time, will post a pic of the awesome roads in case anyone's on the fence.

I would love to join in this (and live within very reasonable driving distance), but I don't have much interest in a June time frame. Count me in on a 'cooler' time of year in Vegas.

Quotes source post: 13803468

Yeah...Summers in Vegas suck...

Count me in.

Quotes source post: 13802458

sorry for delay in reply I do know some people at LVMS and can check... but I don't think we'll like it. Local Porsche club once did events there and the costs went out of control. I can ask for a ballpark figure

Good info Iko. Right now for "driving" event on Sunday, I am 50/50 between track rental for us and doing go-kart racing for couple of hours. With Karts, everyone will get to drive and chances of someone ending up with big $$$ due to engine failure are low. http://www.lvmgp.com/karts-racing

Quotes source post: 13804318

i would vote for karting as I don't think I would push it on a track.

Updated confirmed attendees list. G911, please do the honors again on updated the members list and date. Date is now set in stone for June 10 and 11th, 2017. If you can edit the title of the thread, put the dates there. Make the first line in your post in big red font, that this is happening on June 10 & 11 2017, Las Vegas, NV. Thanks, Kalashnikov Gonzo911 (Kevin) Kcattorney HawkFan#12 (LV) Docmirror Slakker Flat6Music JayG DTMiller IkoIko911 TonyTwoBags PmKazz 996AE Spork

I'm definitely possibly maybe still considering thinking about possibly considering the idea of perhaps studying the feasibility of conceivably checking if the weather would permit surely ... oh fvck, what was I talking about?

Quotes source post: 13807729

Done...but if 5CHN3LL isn't going...I ain't going...

Get busy.

Quotes source post: 13802537

I have a feeling you will have your coupe earliervrather than later 😉

I'm probubly in, just can't plan that far ahead right now As far as a nice inexpensive hotel, The Tuscany is a winner. All rooms are like suites and its a garden style hotel 3 story buildings with the parking lot right outside, so you can park your own car and not have to walk a mile to get to your room. I have stayed there a few times for trade shows

Back to the front page, Sunday itinerary is being worked on.

Ok. I give. I'll be there, but no one will see me.

Can we get an hour set aside for a climate-change discussion?

No, I gave that time-slot to discussion of the "The Magic Hour". It is a required reading for the meet.

I'll be staying at the tent sites at Boulder beach campground. I'm gonna split cost with an immigrant family and save $5 nite. Being that it's June, and the campground closed their showers last year, I might be kind of 'fragrant' by Sat afternoon. Maybe someone will kick in a card key(if they stand close to me), from one of their suites on the strip. If not, one of you can grab me one of those little bars in the bath and I'll just use the lake. Vegas baby.....

This Vegas thing appears to have quickly devolved from a Porsche enthusiast event into a booze drenched, stripper chasing weekend of debauchery. It's always nice to have something to look forward to. Perhaps a practice run prior to June is in order. You know, just to make sure we get it right.

Devolved? It never started as anything else...

"Devolved? It never started as anything else..." Silly me. I'm a little slow on the uptake. I also have a conveniently poor memory, which will serve me well on the follow-up interrogation when I return home.

Alibis will be provided.

Back to the front. Spread this out to 997/991 and friends. I will try to bring a few non-Porsche guys with me, so we have some quick cars Wishing everyone a great New Year, celebrate drunk and safe my friends!

Proposed flyer design for my man B3 to see if he can take it to the next level.

Put me down for a tentative maybe it is potentially conceivable that I perhaps might perchance possibly attend. The 914 group is having our annual West Coast Rally up to Mammoth Lakes June 1 through 4. That means I need to make it back from Mammoth, then prep and head out to Vegas only a few days later. Somewhere amongst that time, I need to actually work. Unlike DT, I didn't find an ambulance to chase that had cash billowing out of the back doors. I'll work up some T-shirt designs. Kalash, the Karting sounds like a great idea. Prolly much easier to coordinate than a real track event. Of course, we can do Exotics Racing, but I've already done that there. Gets a bit spendy, and not really a great group activity. Plenty of fun, though. . As to hotel... definitely not Circus Circus, even though plenty of clowns will be in attendance. Parking reeks at lots of the Strip hotels, but I do like the Strip. As mentioned above, North Las Vegas has really stepped up the game. I'd vote for something up there by Fremont Street. Golden Nugget is a good choice. Blocks and blocks of sidewalk boozatoriums like this: Golden Goose may work its way into the itinerary, and no need to drive back to a hotel... just stagger away in the approximate general direction. Even some stuff Slakker might enjoy.

Quotes source post: 13840988

WTF Mike?!?!? That's my schtick. Next you'll be gold plating something I suppose... Well if you all head out by 11am you'll all be broken down by 11:03am so that shouldn't present too much of a planning problem for you. Which will be ready in August and say 2019... Holy **** How the fvck did I forget about the Slakker "girl" jokes

Kalash...you are doing a fine job coordinating our meetup! Kudos to you. Glad to see it will be well attended, at least in spirit. If it's one thing we all have in common after owning a 996...we don't mind blowing a little cash and we sure as hell like to gamble... (I know 5CHN3LL...that was actually 2 things...)

T-Shirt design has begun!!!! Will keep you posted on cost.... since it will be a small run, the printer may have a minimum fee. Mr. Honzo, with the attendees list, of which you are the chief maintainer thereof, get people's shirt sizes and number of shirts. Just add it next to the names. You can also make a list below the attendees list, for those who may want a shirt but won't be attending 2017 Las Vegas PorschePalooza.

Quotes source post: 13842341

Will do. I will wait until you post the prototype before I begin the hype. I strongly recommend that you only offer it in vomit-brown, that way Kalash can wear his all weekend... EDIT...nevermind. I forgot Kalash does not wear shirts...

Quotes source post: 13842369

How's it lookin' so far?

Great catch. If I wear a shirt, no-one will recognize me and all will be lost. So I will have to remain shirtless for the duration of the event. Edit: Great design Mike! It's a first for a t-shirt showing a proper installation of the IMS bearing on the rear mounted engine.

This sound like a great time you all are about to have!

There is always Cafepress

I assume those are two male unicorns, correct? The rainbow was a dead giveaway. Don't let Amber Gramps see that...

Quotes source post: 13842428

they look fabulous

NTTATWWT Sick basturds. Prolly why I fit in well here. Looking forward to the shirt design, and trip.

That shirt won't be complete until the top horse has a Porsche insignia on it, and the bottom horse has "Your mom" written across it. Oops! I meant "Any other car" written across it. I blame the beer for that (practice alibi #1 on the trip)

Bet you get a free bowl of soup with that shirt. Hey, but it looks good on you though.

Why is she crossing her legs like that?

+996 I'm flying in, so won't have my car. Karting will be safer, also.

Quotes source post: 13843536

Does your daughter know what you are doing with her Lambo? Not that there is anything wrong with you driving a pink Lambo...

apologies - I have been away for holidays I have looked into some things: First - as far as a real track rental - near impossible due to insurance requirements. It seems dates have been picked for the 996 weekend - but if the group really wants "track time" - I suggest waiting till the local P club rents out Spring Mountain and we can join them there is a slight chance I could arrange for us to do "parade laps" at Spring Mountain - at safe speed behind a pace car... this was a kind offer - but that's a long drive down there and back for only parade laps. Cars and Coffee would be willing to set-up a special area for our group - I know the guy that runs it and can easily arrange for this. the drive we have planned for after C&C will be great!

So, I'm planning to fly in Thursday evening, June 8th, departing early evening Sunday, June 11th. So, would have Friday, Saturday and until late Sunday afternoon for activities. Anybody up for a Celine Dion show?

If I go, I'll show up on Friday. Why settle for just Celine, when we can see Diana Ross, Cher and Madonna to today's hottest talents, including Katy Perry, Britney and Rihanna.

Quotes source post: 13844787

If I go, I'll be there. If not, then I won't.

words of wisdom

Are dates set? T-shirt design suggestion. Deplorables somewhere in the background only detectable in black light used at strip clubs.

B3 came through with an awesome flyer for the web. Give him a hand. I think it looks epic! G911, please add this to the first post. Everyone else, do post it up across other boards to get awareness up.

I'm really close to being a definite maybe.

Quotes source post: 13844042

I'm surprised that insurance is the thing preventing a track rental. It's not hard or that expensive to rent a track for the day in Michigan. A couple thousand, gets you the track, flaggers, and ems on site

Quotes source post: 13860736

Sealed the deal on my 996 today . Will be getting loaded on the truck Monday in NC. Got room for one more??

Quotes source post: 13861066

I'm really close to being a definite maybe. If I go, we can meet up on the 15 east of LA and caravan it from there. If JayG attends, he can join us too. Of course, he may want to make a move on you.

Quotes source post: 13861089

Assuming JayG doesn't look much like Selma Hayek?? Caravan would be good so you could keep him the hell away from me!!

Caravan sounds great. I hope to leave early Friday AM to beat the rush.

Open to Thursday mid day run also!

Quotes source post: 13860947

We ain't in Kansas, Toto. I think earlier someone looked into it and it was about $20K for a day in Vegas. Something on that order or cost. Who here has that info.? The cart track at Las Vegas Speedway looks fun. I wonder how much that is to rent for a few hours or half a day. It says the track is configurable. I suggest a figure 8 configuration. The middle intersection makes things much more interesting.

Yeah, I'd prolly want to head out there on Thursday. Friday traffic reeks.

I am super excited! I can't wait to put some names and faces together. Although based off the video Some Russian guy posted from his trip, we might have seen enough of certain faces!

WTF????????? Where do you live, W. Hollywood?

Quotes source post: 13861089

Are you sure you will be able to keep up?

Quotes source post: 13861352

I'm guessing I misunderstood the definition of "make a move".....At least I hope I did. Sometimes humor gets lost in E-translation.

Quotes source post: 13861363

Sure did bucko For starters, anything on the GWIT996F needs to be taken with an entire salt shaker. Have you read through all 12,000+ posts? The context was relating to the number of posts in that thread

Wait! What?

LOL Asleep at the wheel

Quotes source post: 13861066

What 996 did you buy Bash and where did you snag it from?

Kalash is now a +2. Things must be getting serious...

Quotes source post: 13861706

The one I bought was listed on the 6spd online forum. Car is in North Carolina. Someone here had pasted the link on RL. It's a black 99. Meticulously kept. Had the PPI done yesterday. Checked out great with the only issue being P1123 and P1125 codes which the seller was upfront about so I knew going in. I've already ordered a new MAF. Couldn't be happier. Gonna be a long 10 day wait!

Quotes source post: 13861877

I'm prying... but what did you snag this beauty for? Under $20K?

Lol. Let's just say we agreed on a price that made both parties happy.

Oh yea, you bought this one... http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/a...oupe-sale.html I remember that link... Ok, so you bought for $24K and you got to enjoy two parties ... prolly got free booze and now a 10 day training exercise to promote patience and self control. I get it. Ha!

Yes sir. That's the car. Now where's that free booze....

Quotes source post: 13861904

You drank it at the two parties that made you happy, duhhh!... oh, but you wouldn't remember. bwahahahahaha!

Quotes source post: 13861910

Ha! I'm a little slow this morning. Just woke up..... and I'm already posting on RL. It's a sickness!

cool car bash, tasteful updates. Black mk1 aero with big porsche wheels.. very pretty profile Enjoy

Quotes source post: 13861945

Thanks Tony!

The drive through the "Valley of Fire" looks fun.

Quotes source post: 13862323

I do the drive at least once per month.... only bummer is they are REALLY strict about speed (in state park).... one you leave VOF and head into the federal park - you can go much faster

Holy ****!!! I just caught myself seriously considering this thing... WTF is wrong with me??? If I show up, I'll be the guy in the blue Cayenne driving by and giving you all the finger

Quotes source post: 13862400

Lol. Yeah it was a no brainer. Gnat, hurry up and snag this one before someone else does. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac...946580687.html

Quotes source post: 13862413

No aerokit, not enough powered wheels, has a silly hole in the roof, missing a spoke on the steering wheel, and is pricey for a track toy.

Quotes source post: 13862400

I pretty much figured that you'd be the guy in the beige Prius driving at 25 mph in front of us. Update: T-Shirt design is coming along well!!! Right now, I'm calling it PorschePallooza, since that was the first name. B3's flyer calls it RennRun. What name do you guys want for it?

^^^My graphic was originally called "PorschePallooza 2017", because I remembered the title of this thread. I can easily change it in the graphic if ya'll want to. Kalash called it "RennRun" in his email to me.

Quotes source post: 13862502

I vote "Rut Ro 2017"

How about "RearRuns 2017" hahaha That's true Porsche banter.

Quotes source post: 13862517

Only if a certain someone, whose name starts with J and ends with G, makes a move on you.

uhhh, I'm not falling for NO banana in my tailpipe! ha!

Quotes source post: 13862502

Won't find one of those POSes in our stable 996, e90, 958 Virginia will also be happy to confirm that "slow" and "speed limit" are not things I'm familiar with We got stuck with a rental Prius once out in SFO. And they call the Cayenne a Pig? Good god that thing was a POS that couldn't get out of it's own way!

IkoIko911, can you please speak to the C&C people about giving us a separate section on Saturday? I am talking to karting places right now about pricing and catering. LV Mini Grand Prix is $1,500/hour ($800/hour during weekday) for track rental on Sunday + catering. I will have a full pricing from their GM some time early next week. Pole Position karting is $3,000/hour + catering, which I think is way too much. Mike, please use "RennRun 2017" on the shirts. For reasoning, you can PM me.

Quotes source post: 13862566

Will do.

Ok, here is the proposed Sunday itinerary: Time Sunday 10:00-11:30 Meet at Peppermill Restaurant at 2985 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 for breakfast. 12:00-14:30 Karting at Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix track at 1401 N Rainbow Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89108. $46/two hour wristband. 15:00-16:30 Free time for participants to explore, take pictures, or mingle, get changed, shop etc. 17:00-24:00+ Meet for drinks, food and final "goodbyes" at Hofbr�uhaus at 4510 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89169. 24:00+ Sleep or drive home time for the remaining attendees. G911, please update the first page with the Sunday's itinerary and latest attendees list. For karting, the cheapest option right now is for us to show up for the LVMGP and buy the $46 two hour unlimited rides band and drive race with each other and other guests. If we rent the track on Sunday, assuming we get total of 25 people then it still comes out to $120/person+food. Attached are the pricing sheets from LVMGP. Attendees list as of 1/6/2017: Kalashnikov +2 Gonzo911 (Kevin) Kcattorney HawkFan#12 (LV) Docmirror Slakker Flat6Music JayG DTMiller IkoIko911 TonyTwoBags PmKazz 996AE Spork Gnat* Cuda911* Stan23 Bash Hat

Itinerary looks good, thanks for putting it together. I reminded my SO last night about this and the only condition is that she'll be attending as well. So likely no fat stacks of $1s, but the other events look fun.

Beers, *****, karts and more beers. Works for me!

Quotes source post: 13862566

Will Do

As for a name, I like "The Hangover 996"

Quotes source post: 13862755

Mission Accomplished Komrade. Why isn't 5CHN3LL's name on the list? I am sensing a lot of structure to this event. Just so we are clear, I will see you all at the "Welcome to the First Annual RennRun PorschePalooza Hangover 996 Cocktail Party". After that, we may never see each other again...unless you like strippers, pool parties and craps...

Quotes source post: 13863457

My guess is that Komrad Kalash is organizing something along these lines:

Correct Mike, you figured this out first ^^. Replace tanks with Porsches on the strip and we shall make News of Russian Army invading Las Vegas. I will ride like a Politburo Chief in the Back of the Mercedes...with my panoramic roof off, while waiving at the crowds. Soviet Flags will be on the wings of the Mercedes to give this a more official feel. You Tube

Alright...thinking about how long the drive is from Indy. If I can work it I'm there.

Quotes source post: 13863682

But that's for mere mortals. You've got that highfalutin 997, so prolly half that time.

Should about 10 hours for a property running 997. You leave at 10pm Indiana time, and you will be in Vegas by 7 am.

I will need someone to pick me up at the airport Thursday night. I will buy the first round for whoever steps up. Your choice of strip clu . . ., err, drinking establishment.

Quotes source post: 13864045

I am local so could pick you up no problem.

Quotes source post: 13864054

So we're all crashing at Hawk's house around 5am after we stumble out of the "drinking establishment"??? Hawk, your wife cool with that??

Well I wouldn't go that far! I do have a couple spare rooms and can accommodate tents in the back yard! Still think it would be fun to do a BBQ at my place if there is time.

I don't think the strippers would want to camp out in the back yard.....

Quotes source post: 13862548

now that's funny

B3, when you have time can you you please create the "back" side for the flyer. Same size as the front. On the back, I would like to have the itinerary listed for both days and contact e-mail of [email removed] . Background is up to you, as you picked a great option for the front. Once back is done, I will order the laminated 1/4 page flyers made for everyone at the event. Sample of how I would like the flyer to be organized: Saturday itinerary on the left, Sunday on the right. RennRun 2017 on the top, dates under it like the first page. Contact e-mail where the URL for HIN is. Feel free to PM or e-mail me if you have any Qs. Really appreciate your help with this man!

Quotes source post: 13864207

Speaking of back side, the shirt I'm designing will have front and back graphics. That will up the cost some, so you cheap SOBs better be ready to pay an extra 10 bucks or so. You may want to reword that, or add a comma.

Quotes source post: 13864209

No way. I have bigger plans for that $10...

Quotes source post: 13864207

No problemo compadre!

Quotes source post: 13864073

The strippers I know will camp out wherever you tell them to camp. And by 'tell' I mean '$$$$'. Yo wife gotta prollem wi-dat?

Will the back side be like this?

Quotes source post: 13865986

From b3, I'm more concerned that goatse will make an appearance...

As a "deplorable" I will be staying at the Trump Towers. Tentative plan; link up with a few SoCal 996 hot rods and blast out Thursday mid day and beat the crush.

You guys ever heard the term "butt chugging"? I did for the first time today and had to look it up on the line...it's real and I can't believe people actually do it.

Quotes source post: 13863835

Horee clap! Might be time for good road trip.....

Quotes source post: 13866392

Did you use a banana plug?

Someone's having a bad day...

You guys better make this thing good

Quotes source post: 13869373

You will be fine. Just remember to grab a few bags of milk for your trip

Booked me a hotel. I am in Hilton Embassy Suites.

Back page of the flyer containing itinerary is ready! Courtesy of B3. G911, can you please post this to the first post. Also, move both images to the top of that post so they are the first two things people see. Thanks!

Looks great! This will be a fun trip. My crystal ball says there will be booze-a-plenty and young (they're all young to me!) stripper wimmins in my future. Very nice! 5th line down "Hover Damn" should be "Hoover Dam." Hover be damned!

Quotes source post: 13878222

Yea, I noticed that and left it as is... I was thinkin' Gonzo was using his sardonic sense of humor. But I told Kalash I would be happy to change any of the text including the "Hover Damn" line.

^^^ Hover Damn is correct. Where'd ya do yer learnins?

^^I did try a "Hover" once and sure enough, I was "damned" from the beginning. ha!

Learnins? Bookz iz 4 idjits an foolz dat doan no hau ta reed pikshurs. Butt, watevs. Ime goan too Vaygus too sea nekid wimmins! Hover damn two!

Quotes source post: 13878222

Out of curiosity, what's the average Vegas RLister attendee age? I'll be 45 by June. Im thinking my best EDM concert days are behind me. Strip clubs on the other hand........

Early 50's here, but I don't look a day over 65.

I will be bringing down the average age down a bit...

Perfect! So now all i have to do is get hammered, point at the girl I think is too drunk to see straight, and send Kalash over to carry her back to me. It's good to have some youth on our team. I'm buying Kalash drinks and bringing a laser pointer.

Bad news all: I can make it so please add me to the list. Eddie

Quotes source post: 13878519

See, that's what I'm talking about. Strategic proactive planning!!

Should someone start a gofundme account right now for bail monies?

Quotes source post: 13878564

I'm hoarding all my dolla bills for other "activities".

Spread the word. Physical flyers/cards are on order. The front side actually makes for a decent swag image. Notebooks, cups, shirts looks very neat with it.

Another thing, please post in the thread or PM me if you are driving your car, flying in, or renting something in LV. Car brand and model (ie Porsche 997, Geo Metro, Pink Pony (Schnell)).

Drivin in. Most likely my Boxster. It is a real Porsche, with a real engine, not one of those lawn mower engines

IF I go, I'll drive the 996 there. I think the brand is Prosh or something similar. Pretty sure Kalash is half the age of the rest of the wheezers and geezers that will be in attendance, but all act like 13 year olds, so that levels the playing field.

If I go I'll use some form of transport to get there as my fat *** isn't walking 2400 miles... Probably not a boat though, but you never know I guess. Anything is possible when hell freezes over.

I am being serious about transportation mode, since Iko is trying to get us the dedicated section at the cars and coffee. So the # of cars in attendance is important. If you show up in the rental Chrysler 200 from Hertz, you pick up the tab for the first round of drinks everywhere we go. No exception. You can rent 911 from Hertz, or go all out like your truly with the Shelby! Got you down in Prosh 996 Mike.

996 for me. Working on getting the hallpass for Vegas as I've got WSBK weekend @ Laguna Seca booked July 7-9 too.

Do you need to know my physical age or my mental age? I will be flying. Staying at the Encore. Somebody can have my slot for Cars and Coffee, kart racing and the drive thru the Valley of Fire. I will however be at the Bond Bar at Cosmo. Vesper? Maybe, but I will likely be at XS at the Wynn/Encore unless I stay too late at the Rhino. I will be playing Sunday by ear...

Disappointed ^^. Man up and drive the G911 car to LV. With KC flying in, and you leaving the 997.2 home...both the fastest and quickest Porsche at the Porsche meet will be a four door Mercedes.

If you are driving over from CA, I highly recommend trying to drive the section of CA 168 between CA 395, just south of Bishop, over to NV 266 to US 95 down to Las Vegas. That section of CA 168 is an Amazing Drive! Did it last summer in my 968 and had a blast! "E" Ticket ride!

Quotes source post: 13878981

I really don't plan on being in any condition to drive. No matter what.

Quotes source post: 13878986

Might be a great road, its just a zillion miles out of the way from San Diego

I'm starting to think I want to go...it's six day vacation for me though, and 4 of those would just be driving

Quotes source post: 13879015

Only 300 more miles. You'd have enough grins to last the drive home :-)

Maybe we need to create a prize for someone who drives the furthest to get to the meet. Ideas for the prize are welcomed. I am thinking about IMS bearing or a bottle of ORANGE capped DT40.

Quotes source post: 13878222

This thing looks brilliant and destined to be an annual classic. On another note, wonder how hard it is to get into the bail bond business...

Latest attendee list: G911, please update the first post with the list and post the two flyers at the beginning of the post in place of the text itineraries.

Definitely maybe. Not sure yet about the timing relative to some other plans in the works.... Would be a great drive for sure.

Quotes source post: 13878986

Good tip, I've ridden that road. Amazing! I am driving my 996 from CA.

Quotes source post: 13880856

I'll be driving in my 996 cabrio. Staying locally at a friends place (off Cactus just east of LVB).

Driving 996

Quotes source post: 13880856

I'll PM you my contact info. Maybe best to just hand it out to the attendees rather than post it up on the forum?

Other than hotel and mode of arrival, I will not post anything else in the thread.

I'll be in Vegas from Thu. afternoon until Monday a.m. during this event. Anybody needs an airport taxi, I'll be happy to help. Drop me a PM for my contact info. Eddie

Public notice, the red square on the phone number area is me blanking out the numbers in MS Paint. Not highlighting the area.

Hey, add people's names to that list, so we don't have to say stuff like "Sorry, officer, Hash Bat made me do it."

Quotes source post: 13881400

Watch out for Hash Bat. He's shady as f...

You get to meet in person and ask for that Mike. Plus, gives great plausible deniability. If FBI and CIA task forces capture us, no-one will be able to snitch on others. Agent Smith: So you claim that Slakker and DTM defaced the monument and Kalash served as a getaway driver? And TonyTwoBags was the lookout? KCattorney: I take the 5th.

theme song of the rennrunn You Tube

Might as well add what city everyone is coming from to the list.

I'll be driving from LA if anyone wants to meet up and drive out together.

Us men from SD can meet you north of San Berdo You bringing bananas?

Sure. What size would you like? Small/medium/large or mondo?? See youz guys in the 909!

Slightly green

Somebody said Bananas? You Tube

I spoke with Soloman who runs Cars and Coffee.... he will make Porsche the "mark-of-the week" so we can park in the reserved area under the shade awnings. it will also be open to local Porsche drivers as well - and spots fill up quickly...so plan to get there as close to 7am as possible.

Quotes source post: 13883216

Thanks. I'll just Uber over from the Rhino...

I don't do 7am unless it's a track event.

Quotes source post: 13883308

They have complimentary limo service, you noob.

My lodging for the weekend.

That's pretty cool!

Quotes source post: 13884123

Except when you get thrown out, along with a shirtless Russian...

Got the hotel booked. The Golden Nugget it is. Eddie

Cool ^^. Quick driving tutorial for everyone. You Tube

Count me in ,I am driving my 996 and will be staying at my sons house.I will be coming from Santa Clarita .

Got the list updated. G911, update the first post with flyer and latest attendee counts please. Cuda, how is the shirt design coming along? Right now I am showing 20 attendees and ~5 guests in attendance.

Driving the 996 cab to Vegas. No idea which hotel yet.

Has anyone invited Jake?

Can't, he disconnected the "call Jake" hot line.

I know it's not his thing but it would definitely make things interesting if he came.

Maybe he can bring the bananas?

Flyers have arrived.

I like it! Send me one!

T-shirts are in design mode. Will be two-sided. Details will follow. So, are most staying on the strip or in North LV by Freemont? We should definitely have an evening at Freemont! Zip-lining!!!! Haven't booked my hotel, but most likely will maybe possibly attend.

PM me your address Hawk, I will send you one. Mike, the most up-to-date information about the lodging is posted at the top of the page. I am not too familiar with Vegas, I know I am in Hilton Suites. I am going to do the Stratosphere Jump on Saturday after midnight, so no zip-lining for me.

OK, no prob. I've been to Vegas many, many times. Freemont Street is something that should be scheduled in. It's several enclosed blocks of dozens of sidewalk bars, two strip clubs, street performers, sidewalk bands, freaks, naked ladies, and is basically the same as the GWITNNSF thread.

Bump for this, will get you later this week Hawk.

What's the best arrive and drive track experience in Vegas? I liked Dream Racing but looks like there are a few others now. I've got a meeting out there in a few weeks and was going to grab some laps in some pcars while I'm in town.

Quotes source post: 13931287

the newer one: Speed Vegas has a dedicated purpose built track. The Exotics one at at Las Vegas Motor Speedway turned a large parking lot into a track. both have incredible cars to drive Speed Vegas is more involved with local car community/culture - they host Cars and Coffee, etc.

Is a Hover Dam something like the Hover Van? If so, I'm in. Cuda, Jay, et al: Are we caravaning? Might as well rack up some tickets Super Speeders-style on the way...

I can predict how "Three Middle Aged Men in $15,000 Porsches, 1,000 miles of treacherous roads, and multiple challenges" will look.

BTW, will pay for JI's gas if he decides to join the trip. If someone gets lucky, JI will try to buy their car on the spot.

Quotes source posts: 13931523, 13931528

Heh. That was awesome. Nicely done. I imagine we'll be arguing over who gets to throw down their AAA card for the next tow. I believe he is currently trading his way up to a Targa that doesn't run - which is really an ideal situation for everyone. If you buy a roller, you no longer have to get into arguments about how Tip is functionally equivalent to PDK.

Quotes source post: 13931495

Definitely a So CA caravan!

Quotes source post: 13931495

Kinda like HoverBoard I don't know about Mr. Al, but I am up for caravan and Cuda ifs probably good for it as well

Any chance Cuda can bring an extra car for me to drive?

Sorry if I missed this. But is this event restricted to 996 owners?...and if not, anyone heading out from Denver?

Quotes source post: 13932088

Aw heck, it's ok, you can come.

Are you flying out?

Quotes source post: 13931573

FIFY...

46 is the new 45, I'll have you know.

Quotes source post: 13932081

Yea, you can pick it up at his friend Hertz

Wow, that's a cool graphic on that RennRun flyer Kalash and co. Whomever created that should get complementary travel and accommodations for this event.

Quotes source post: 13933749

Remember, we're all crashing at Hawkfan's pad. Strippers are camping out in the back yard.

Yeah, was going to head out Thursday night with a couple of buddies. At this point though, looks like I may be going solo, so probably won't fly out til Friday since none of you guys are arriving before then.

Quotes source post: 13934350

I highly recommend their Trubo. SUPER exostic!

I realize these dates don't line up..... BUT, a ton of you mentioned wanting to get some track time and the Porsche Club has set up registration for the March 18-19 event... so if any of you wanna get your baby on track - here's a great chance the run the 3.4 layout I will just post the info direct from the club email... hopefully the links still work. (EDIT: link didn't work: click here to register: http://www.motorsportreg.com/events/...s-vegas-140692 ) Please join the Las Vegas Region for our Driver Education and Open Track event at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. Our DE events are open to all car marques, so spread the word to all of your car enthusiast friends! This event will be run on the challenging 3.4 Mile layout, the favorite configuration of many. This configuration has everything: technical turns, high speed straights, off camber turns, elevation changes, and more . . . For experienced track drivers, we offer three different r un groups, Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced, to maximize Safety and track time (30 minute sessions). Instructors will be available for all run groups to help you refine your driving skills. NO STUDENT GROUP AT THIS EVENT!! There will not be a Ground School/Car Control Clinic at this event because we are holding a New Instructor School. If you have never driven on a racetrack or have not had formal high performance driving training, DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS EVENT! Our Ground School/Car Control Clinic will return at the May 27-28 event. Registration is now open at www.msreg .com/LVR-HPDE-17 . The entry price is only $350 for both days, or $225 for either single day. That is a $50.00 savings from "at Track" registration costs. We will not be able to accept credit cards at the track. Track gates open at 7:00am and the MANDATORY Driver's Meeting is at 8:00am. If you are planning to attend be sure to review the requirements for DE Events and have your car inspected before coming to the track. SPECIAL NOTE: Helmets must now be rated Snell 2010 or newer. Snell 2005 rated helmets will no longer be allowed. Detailed information on requirements can be found on the LVRPCA Website: Driver Education You can view and download the Tech Inspection Form at: LVRPCA Technical Inspection Form We would love to have you join us for a fun time honing your driving skills. Our second Spring Event will be May 27-28, also at Spring Mountain on the 3.4-mile layout. We are working on Fall dates in September and November.

I think the Trubo is currently down - it needs new trubochragers.

Spring Mountain is a great track The CDI Scott Mann from the Las Vegas chapter does a great "Hayride" Sat after the track goes cold. You ride around the track on a trailer and he goes over the track and gives you an incredible amount of info on the line and grip The hotels in Pahrump suck

Yeah, but Art Bell lives there, so...if you want to stay in a crappy hotel and potentially have your anus probed by aliens, Pahrump is the ticket.

Quotes source post: 13940053

' there are a limited number of condo rentals available at the track - I've been able to rent one the past few track days. they are small effeciency apartments basically. It is really nice though - on the really hot days - you can go grab a shower at lunch before the afternoon session. they are building a new marriot branded hotel right outside the track - construction starts later this year. the 3.4 layout the run is a TON of fun, here's a lap in my base Boxster last year: You Tube

considering the pedigree of the scheduled attendees (this has international incident written all over it) you guys should consider personalizing your 996's to the 'enth degree Danger IMSB / I 'heart' Jake Raby / BAC .996,....use your twisted imaginations tire attire available here...maybe a group buy http://www.tireattirela.com will someone please bet a quarter on the 16/19 split for me ?

I'll be in charge of the roofies. I mean Altoids.

Who's in charge of shenanigans?

Quotes source post: 13943248

Dan, although he was hoping Dean was going to step up and be assistant manager. You're fired! Kalashnikov will be in charge of explaining The Game... ...and I will be waiting to drop The Goat on you SOBs.

Schnell, I don't think most people will get that reference here ^^. When they try to google the the game in question from their work computers, the hilarity will ensure.

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm hoping for...trying to come up with some kind of encore to the "Human Centipede" posts from a while back.

Anyone putting together a Synthol group-buy so we can get our bro-looks dialed in?

Quotes source post: 13943253

That's not the kind of game I had in mind. Ever since I watched that movie years ago I have an aversion for eating out....

Posted the front page of the flyer as a Linked-in update. Then thought about it....yeah.

Quotes source post: 13945153

Yeah. No. We will need to work on the cameras-allowed vs. no-cameras designation for all events.

I think the only places the cameras will be allowed are the C&C and Scenic Drive. Everything after is off limits. Or you use the "bigfoot" cameras so that you can't identify the perpetrator of the crime. Although even scenic drive has a chance to morph into something like this, with APB being called on "individuals racing sports cars across state park": You Tube You Tube

Anybody interested in playing some blackjack while we are there? I like to split 10's...

Gonzo at the tables: These games are what I like best:

That pretty much nails it. I don't usually play blackjack, but when I do...its combative. Its amazing how many people get mad at you when you split tens and win both hands, and they lose. Its like you took THEIR card or something. Some guy told me that once and I told him, "No...that wasn't your card, that was MY card," as I pointed at it. Another guy, after seeing me split tens told the dealer, "I'll be back." I told the dealer, "No he won't..." This is gonna be fun!

I just returned from Vegas on a family trip. Did not gamble at all! Was strange.

I split 10s once. At a $1 blackjack table in Laughlin, NV back in 1990 during desert strike warfare training. Crappy little backwater casino next to the Navy base. Almost got my *** kicked by a 70 year old local - might have even been a woman (it's all a little foggy by now). But I know I'll never split 10s again.

Quotes source post: 13950956

You split 10s specifically to anger people who lack a comprehension of randomness.

You know when you are sitting at a blackjack table and you get "that feeling"? You know, that something-something in the pit of your stomach that says "I know the Dealer is showing a 3, but I've got two face cards. All I need are two more face cards or...just take what I get and let the Dealer bust. Fu#k it! I'm going for it!!!!" The bonus is when you get to hear the Dealer yell to the Pit Boss, "SPLITTIN' 10's!!!" Plus, the look on everyone's face is priceless...

Quotes source post: 13950956

Too much redundancy in your post.

Its your money, you can do whatever the hell you want. If someone at the table doesn't like it, they can f'in leave the table

Yes, that's the stuff.

Is it too early to start a count down clock?

Quotes source post: 13951389

My sentiments exactly. Of course, I require complete decorum at the craps table. You start throwing the dice overhand and we will have a problem...

You come in mid roll I will ****ing cut you.

I like to stand by the craps tables and yell "YAHTZEE" when they roll the dice.

Valley of Fire Red Rock Canyon So just to give out of towners an idea of a couple different places, I took my boys to Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire and thought I would share a couple pics. See you in June!

Great pix Hawk. Looking forward to our event too! Eddie

BUMP! y'all still coming to see us in Vegas?

Quotes source post: 13951823

Craps...tables? What kind of madness is this? I thought shooting craps involved a shotgun and an outhouse.

There aren't many engineers or scientists at the gaming tables. The one time I talked to a pit boss about odds I got out my calculator, and he said 'look, if you are gonna use a calculator to figure the best odds, just go play blackjack and accept the house is favored in all games a little'. Made sense, so I played blackjack for about 3 hours and lost $70. It was a decent $23/hour lesson is something I already knew. Players don't 'win'.

I still don't see JI on the list of attendees. I want to see the older version of James May in attendance.

What the crap? I'm not on the list. *sigh* *grumbles something about "sumbitches"*

Regardless of gender it's still a nice body (at least the parts we can see.)

My crystal ball has just informed me that we're just two months out from booze, blow, ***** and buffets in Vegas. Oh yeah, and some car stuff, as well! Okay, just kidding about the blow thing. I must be getting old. Really old!

What happens in Vegas...is probably illegal in Texas. As a career Californian, I am ready to deal with this.

Yep, two months to D-day. I need to write out some rules/regulations brochure just in case. If someone got a few CB radios they can bring, that would be great too; for cops and in-case someone pulls Mike. For me from 40 mph, it takes about 5 seconds to start looking at Criminal speeding. So let's all be careful in NV. You Tube

Quotes source post: 14075791

...

For clarification - CB, or FRS (the little family radios they sell everywhere now)? I also have a couple of handheld ham radios (Yaesu and BaoFeng) that should let us listen in on PD/Highway Patrol frequencies. I'll check the Vegas LEO channels before the trip so we can have a couple of radios listening for 5-0. Phone apps like 5-0 Radio Pro are nearly as good and don't require walking around in public with a ham radio (which should be avoided unless you WANT to lead a life of celibacy and despair). If you have a scanner app like 5-0 Radio Pro and your car is bluetooth-capable, live audio streaming of LEO updates is pretty reassuring.

Quotes source post: 14102038

You is really hung up on you're grammar this weak. Ain't ya???

No clue about CB or FRS difference. If it works and we can hand them out to a few designated radio cars, I am for it. Police band radio would be great too.

Quotes source post: 14103970

FRS is sold under the Scion name. CB is sold under the Subaru name. Other than that, none.

Quotes source post: 14104061

I think we found our designated HAM operator! You will be wearing this at all times while in Vegas, Mike! Congrats on earning this important coveted duty!

From now on, we will refer to Mike only via his codename ("Radar.") We're going to need...a dank meme. *DISCLAIMER* I was too young to "get" MASH, although I did appreciate the liquor references, constant sexual tension, and my first exposure to people on TV who weren't as funny as they thought they were. This was groundbreaking at the time and paved the way for brave souls like Rodney Dangerfield and Andrew Dice Clay.

Bad news all. I couldn't get the top 10 to come out to NV with us . But bottom 30 are coming out to play under the sun and enjoy wealthy American men's company. You Tube

This is really lame, but I will not be able to attend the 2017 Las Vegas RennDrunk. Even though I started this thread, Kalash gets all the credit. I could make up a bunch of lame excuses, but Mrs. Gonzo has other plans for me that weekend, and the only two words I know is, "Yes Dear". Send pics or video. After all, what happens in Vegas...is posted on Facebook within 30 seconds...

^^^ I see very bad things happening in the next 0.08 seconds.

Kalash -- great pic. Is it: a) North Korea using the Nevada Test Range for its nucular (as "W" would say) program? b) Another M96 engine blowing its IMS (or suffering from any of the other 27 failure modes) c) ???

Just mother nature providing an appropriate backdrop to two boxer engines meeting in the wild. This is looking E from mount Lemmon at Sunset. So sun was hitting a very unusual cloud just the right way.

Continuing the theme.

Not to rain on the accommodations parade, but my initial reply was meant to say, I'm glad you can join us, not to offer a place to stay for our fun filled weekend. Not sure how that came to be and sorry for the confusion my reply caused. Plus, I live in AZ even though my screen name might give people the impression I live in Lost Wages. Eddie

Ah, English. Such a precise language. No confusion, ever. I'm glad I can join in as well!

I wonder if anyone who is attending is called .... Doug? We may lose you. Also, Stu, Alan, Phil...and Mr. Chow...if you exist, please identify yourself. With Alan, I suspect it is Schenell.

Just a gentle reminder that we're approximately 30 days out from Vegas inebriation. And since Nevada is now legally a recreational marijuana consumption state, the state of inebriation will undoubtedly (allegedly) include such reckless behavior among some. *****, booze, cannabis, gambling, fast cars and faster women. What could possibly go wrong? I see a major win on the horizon! ;-)

^^ greens go on sale in Vegas in July from what I've read.

Guidelines for the event.

So, Mike sent me an advance copy of his shirt design....I am not 100% sold on it.

Quotes source post: 14178651

That's makes two of us. Eddie

Speaking of the shirts, finalizing the design now. The back will have a "word cloud" with some notable phrases. I have a list, but if you have any additional suggestions, post 'em up here pronto!

We will be led on some parade laps on the track at Speed Vegas. You won't be able to go that fast - will be a line following the pace car.... but we will be able to drive as a group on the track.

also, I have had some other stuff come up for that weekend, so I won't be able to go on the entire drive on Saturday. I will be at C&C. I am bummed to miss that drive on saturday - so if anyone is in town early and wants to take a mini drive on Friday - let me know.

Awesome news on the Speedway! ^^ I will most likely get to Vegas around midnight on Friday.

T-shirt design is being finalized. Will post pix and ordering info later this week. In the mean time, I have lined up the entertainment. Enjoy the buffet.

P1 has all of the schedule. Flyers will be distributed at CC.

I'm in for Saturday. Staying at an airbnb as I'm combining this with visiting family in the area... though I know which portion of the trip will be more fun.

Alrighty, shirt design is done. I don't know the price, since it will depend on the number of shirts ordered. I will be selling them at cost. OK, let me know size and how many you want. I have to get the order in to the printer right away. Order extras for friends (as if you had any), family, and your local homeless population. FRONT: BACK:

Looks great Cuda911 and thanks. Put me down for two (2) large assuming gray and blue colors. Eddie

Looks awesome Mike! Two large blue shirts. Someone, buy an extra gray shirt...we all will sign it and send it to KC's museum. It would be a cool piece of memorabilia.

I think I can order whatever colors I want. I have a great local printer that is very helpful. Some colors may not work well, since the graphics won't show up. OK, let's get a list going: Cuda911: Two large shirts, one blue and one gray Eddie Las Vegas: Two large shirts, one blue and one gray Kalishnikov: Two large blue shirts KCesquire: One gray XXL shirt Gnochi: One large gray shirt Schnelly: One 2x and one 3x to use as seat cover. (grey) FlatSixMusic: One 2x (grey) 996AE: One large. (color?) KoB: one blue and one gray, both 3XL SneakyPete: One grey xxl, maybe, depending on price

Also, is there a wifebeater or transparent versions?

Do I have to attend to order one???

Those are two different gray shirts. If it's the top gray shirt, I'll take one XXL please. If it's the bottom gray shirt, I'll instead take one XXL in dark blue. Thanks for all of the effort in doing this, Cuda.

Cuda911, Does the t-shirt provider have a web site where we can see colors? I was trying to keep it simple by taking a gray and blue, but two grays makes it tougher. Thanks, Eddie

The images are just generic t-shirts from the internet. The printer has a zillion colors and styles of shirts to choose from. A catalogue abiut 3 inches thick. I want to make things easy, but will see if he can accomodate special requests. Will report back.

Thank you!

Thanks Mike. I'll be happy to send payment now or settle up next month. Your choice. Eddie

Oh yeah, can PP you now or cash in Vegas. Just let us know which is preferred.

Pardon my extreme irkedness, but I'm being sent to Detroit for a few weeks. I couldn't convince them to fly me back for the weekend's shenanigans. @Cuda: if a straggler wants my shirt, they're welcome to it; otherwise, I'll settle up at your convenience.

I will PM all those who ordered with my PayPal info.

Note: If I'm too fat to fit into the 2x by the time it arrives, THAT'S the one I intended to use for a seat cover. Totally.

I believe you've utilized the word "fat" in posts in this thread far too frequently and without regard for the feelings of morbidly obese children that would never read this, but if they did, could be irreparably harmed from such reckless behavior. Where's that Timex or Casio guy when you need him? He was far better at feigned outrage over nothing than I am. Anyway, safe-space and Xanax for everyone!

I plan to head to sin city Friday morning. Hope to avoid LA traffic. Plan is to stay until Monday in hope of avoiding Sunday crush back. If anyone else from SoCal is heading out Friday morning let me know. Might be cool to run out in a group.

Of course, I don't have a Porsche at the moment, and can't travel to the event, but would love to have the t-shirt to remember you nut cases having fun!

I had a VERY unhealthy obsession on a teenage girl named Aiko once. Thankfully, I was also a teenager at the time, so the authorities did not need to be involved. And I found another teenage girl who was much more interested in showing me her giblets, so everything worked out perfectly for all parties. Well, except maybe for the chick who let me see her naked, but that's her fault for being a terrible judge of character.

Hey, Adam, great pix!! Beautiful car!!!! Let me know if you want a T-shirt, I can prolly still add one tomorrow. See above for details.

Hey Adam, great color and great looking car. I will add you to the list. The itinerary and flyers have been posted a few times on the earlier pages.

I got that listed, I had planned to get up and make an announcement about it this Sunday at the monthly club breakfast - but I am gonna have to miss it..... I will make sure someone announces it.... PCA club in LV is great - will probably have a good number join for C&C and the drive up to VAlley of Fire. MTM

I'll go slip one under their wipers with my card and hopefully they'll reach out. @HawkFan#12 & IkoIko911 I'd be willing to meet up *slightly* ahead of time, haha. It's going to be an early morning.

as I mentioned, I won't be able to lead the drive after C&C on Saturday. so I've mapped it out on Google for everyone..... but basically, start at Speed Vegas, onto Valley of Fire State Park, onto Sugars Home Plate in Overton to eat, back into Lake Mead National Park to the Hoover Dam

Got some bad news. Wife got laid off today. Probably not prudent if I go drop $1K or more in Vegas next weekend. Frikkin blows but I gotta bow out. Have fun you guys and make sure to post pics of the shenanigans.

Latest list.

Please memorize this. Dear Heavenly... uh... Spirit. Thank you. Thank you for providing us with the IMS solution... uh... replacement, Porsche race Air-Oil Separator, an' DT40 oil, and... um... Fabspeed cold air intake. Thank you.

And don't forget to use your rosary beads to count shots of vodka.... I mean... Holy Water.

One week to go.

Exactly 7 days from this very moment, I will be in Las Vegas and will have undoubtedly enjoyed at least one Bloody Mary for breakfast. So it is written, so it shall be done. And the top on my cab is giving me grief, so I'll be driving my turbo coupe if I can't get it sorted out in time. But either way, breakfast Bloody Marys are going to happen.

Looking forward to the vegas trip ,going to service my car this weekend.I'm going to get into vegas friday morning .Anyone arriving friday and wants to hook up let me know.

Those pics will have to be placed in the off topic area.

I guess I'll work on my instrument cluster tonight so I can use the headlights next weekend...

Quotes source post: 14234673

Au contraire, for the 996 forum, those pics would be dead spot on topic.

After a fruitless wild goose-chase for an antique motorcycle in South Dakota 2 years ago, I stopped off here https://www.caesars.com/caesars-pala...t#.WTW0baNHah8 on the way back to SoCal for the best buffet that I've ever experienced. I ate more delicious lamb chops than should be legal, and went into a meat coma soon thereafter. I'm game for a repeat if anyone else is. Just sayin'. (Probably because I'm starving right now) Might have to arrive a day early and hangout a day or two extra. I've heard there are some good fun (fun with a 'g') shops in Vegas, as well.

Serious post about the meet, and I will give this speech again before we depart from the C&C. For the cruise portion and driving around town, please obey the speed-limits and do NOT engage in the impromptu drag racing or reckless driving! We are there to have fun, and enjoy the weekend, not to get tickets or arrests. Everyone knows that we are in cars that can do 2x the speed-limit anywhere in the state! If one person gets stopped, it is 99% likely that all of us will get pulled over as the group. I don't want anybody ****ing around and us ending up on the news for crashing or for racing. This is categorical! Same goes for drinking and driving. If you are participating in the night portion of the activities, leave the car in the hotel and take a cab or uber. I don't want anyone getting a DUI or crashing the car! I don't want ANYONE being stupid while driving! 20+ Porsches will attract attention by themselves, driving fast will create negative publicity and bad perception not for just Porsche drivers but for car guys everywhere. I am dead serious about this! Do not **** around, and do not test the boundaries on this. I want this to be clean, safe fun. Not being stupid and ending up in financial or legal trouble!

since I won't be joining the drive.... some advise DO NOT speed in Valley of Fire State Park. the park police will pull you for going 5 over.... but that's a small part of the drive... just keep it down while you're in the State Park, Once you get into federal land - Lake Mead National Park..... due to cutbacks, there aren't a lot of patrols. The road is AMAZING... a perfectly smooth ribbon of asphalt...... long straights and wide sweeping turns - with fantastic views. You might be able to open it up in the park..... just keep a low profile.... there will not be a lot of traffic. so don't ride a tourist's *** and have 15 cars come flying by... that person could call a ranger - just be respectful. there probably will be some local porsche club members who do the drive all the time and know the drill. y'all have fun

Don't forget your FRS/"family" radios if you have one. Also, if your FRS radio has auto-transmit turn it to manual.

I'm blaming anything that I get caught for on the guy in the Mercedes. My speedo doesn't work, and honest, I thought it was just soda in that can. And thanks for the experienced heads-up, Iko.

Nice Ride F6, what's the retail on one of those?

Is our itinerary available in PDF? Thanks, Eddie

Itinerary will be passed around on Saturday at C&C. I am now cranky that I was playing pool and lost two games with easy 8 ball positions. I won total 10-2, but it could have been 12-0.

Quotes source post: 14236619

Sounds good. Eddie

Update: I'm driving in to Vegas after work Friday; I'll be at Harrah's on Friday and Saturday nights. If the power cuts out in Las Vegas sometime next weekend, it will likely be the AC freezing up because of the thermostat setting in my room. Sorry about that...I like it COLD. I expect to drill nipple holes through the sheets. I can take and sign some 8x10 glossies for $5 each. I will NOT bring 8x10 glossies for just $10 each. Let me know.

Looking forward to this weekend. Is anyone bringing their wife/significant other with them? Also, not sure if addressed prior, there is an entrance fee to Valley of Fire. Not sure about the Lake Mead portion of the drive. And the weather is cooling down for you guys. I wasn't going to have the top down but this looks like perfect weather:

You know...now that I thought about it. We got 20+ 170mph cars in Vegas. We should pull the Bellagio job. Run in, grab $100MM, $5MM per nose. Then scamble out of the casino, towards Mexican border. They can't catch us. Plan? Would be one hell of a success story. I am the one with the biggest trunk, so $100MM fits just right inside of it. I got 20 Porches behind me to run interference. No one in their right mind would suspect the lowly Mercedes as the money car. Porsches get pulled over one by one, no one has the money. DA lets everyone go due to insufficient evidence. We reconvene a month later, you get your $5MM lunch bags.

Yeah, but right after you guys scramble out of the casino with the loot, 15 of the 20 Porsches will crap their IMS bearings on their way outta the parking garage, so . . .

Good point ^^ But, the remaining 5....the ones with DT40 oil, will persevere.

Quotes source post: 14239375

Not mine... Eddie

Quotes source post: 14238873

the entrance fee into Valley of Fire is $10 for non-NV residents and $8 for NV residents. As for Lake Mead...... if you were to enter the park at the south gate (where hoover dam is - you'd have to pay about $20 to get in) But the office at the North Gate (where y'all will enter) has been closed for over 2 years due to all the cutbacks. So if you enter in the North Gate - there is no fee.

BTW, Mike's call sign for the event will be Lil' Pump.

Just picked up the shirts, they came out great! _________________________________________ Li'l Pump

Lil' Pump comminz through for da fam yo! Dad dere iz some sik threads, prolly worth $5 gz a pop cuz.

Here's what I have for the final shirt orders. When I sorted them out, I ended up with an extra Large Blue shirt. Maybe I ordered an extra t be on the safe side, but look over the list and see if you are missing. Otherwise, I have an extra Large Blue for sale. Updated shirt orders: Cuda911: Two large shirts, one blue and one gray Eddie Las Vegas: Two large shirts, one blue and one gray Kalishnikov: Two large blue shirts KCesquire: One gray XXL shirt Gnochi: One large gray shirt Schnelly: One 2x and one 3x to use as seat cover.

The extra one is a Large Blue, sorry for the confusion.

My post appears to have gotten lost; I'm stuck in Detroit this weekend >.< For that matter, I'm stuck in Detroit for the rest of the month. Cuda, I sent you my address in the PayPal note; would you mind shipping my shirt to me?

PM me with your address.

I have one left, size L. Let me know pronto if you want it. Paypal: $23 to: [email removed]

OK, went through the PayPal payments. Questions: Adam Martin, who are you? (Screen name) Williams Raines, who are you? (Screen name) KC atty, need your mailing address Sneaky Pete: I have a shirt for you. I assume you are not attending? Please provide mailing address. Not sure if you paid or not. Will be mailing shirts to: KoB Gnochi KC ATTY Sneaky Pete

Hey Mike, I'm Adam Martin.

"I've been hit!" I don't get it. The only photo I saw was the two in the car. Gnocchi: Go downtown to Greektown, eat gamble and get hammered, then go into Windsor to the full nude strip clubs. They also sell hard alcohol in them. Detroit/Canada, Las Vegas, same-same. Plus, you get the bonus of Cuban cigars in Canada. Bash Hat: Just do it! It's not too late. Cuda, thanks for getting the shirts done. I see empty Pliny The Elder bottles next to the banana peel. Nice! I'm looking forward to this. I'm going to blow out either Thursday night or Friday morning. Tomorrow I'll be working on hopefully figuring out my cab's top issues. If I can't sort it out, I'm driving the coupe. But having the top down with the music up through the desert is my preference. I think this weekend is going to be a blast!

good to see the Valley of Fire on the list the stacked colored stones are about 10 mins away from Cars and Coffee

Looking forward to meeting everyone and a preemptive "Welcome to Vegas!". I didn't see a big response to meeting prior to Cars n Coffee so I will see everyone there.

I am leaving SoCal early Friday morning. A little down time by the pool before the sin city weekend and bright and early Saturday start.

Less than 48 hours to go.

Hey Cuda ,I sent you a PM about who are you,er uh who am I.Heading out to vegas soon C-Ya there .

I wonder if we should bring name tags. "Hi My Name Is Brandon, aka Hawkfan"

I dont mind the idea of meeting down the street before cars and coffee.. cars always look better parked next to like cars imo

Quotes source post: 14244178

I made one for Kalish: And one for Schnelly:

I think C&C starts at 7:00am... in the morning 7 a.m.... the bad 7 o'clock... and goes until 10:00a.m., at which point the 996 cruise starts. Is it even light out at 7:00a.m. in Vegas? Nevermind. Anyway, I hereby lay claim to being the morning red-eyed lagger. I'll be there, but 7:00a.m. in Vegas hurts my eyes. I'm going to do my best to leave SoCal Friday morning (today), and perhaps stop off briefly at Stateline for a quick beverage or two and a few hands of blackjack. I still don't know which hotel I'm staying at, or if it will be on the strip or downtown. Maybe I'll split it up at each just to see how Fremont St is now and come back Monday... or Tuesday? I'd also like to find time to visit Renegade Hybrids if I can at some point, as well. Perhaps I'll get lucky and they'll have an example at C&C to drool on. Anyway, if anyone else might be up for cocktails Friday night, I'm game if you guys are. So if you guys see a red turbo coupe on the way with what looks like an elderly, long-haired, 230lb saskwach driving it... it's me. I have a feeling that this is going to be a good time with a fun group. Gentlemen... start you livers! Let's get the Porsh party started! ���� ����

Leaving in three hours. Pumped up the tires, will grab gas somewhere on US-60. Drive safe gents, see you all tomorrow.

Pics in real time or it never happened.

While you guys are partying your butts off in Vegas, please think of me spending hours, upon hours playing with 8 year old niece and 15 year old nephew... At least the Boy said he will wash the Porsche.

Quotes source post: 14244187

we have the front area (under the awnings) reserved for only Porsche. I am getting there super early and will try to keep the front row all 996, and other cars on back row

Good. Darth Vader gets parked in the middle though...^^

so y'all will know who to look for, etc my name's Michael, errrbody calls me Buddah though this is what I look like holding a potato

I was gonna ask if you guys are drunk yet, but I think I already got my answer. Pics as it happens, please! The rest of us are living vicariously through you guys this weekend.

268 miles to go.

There is a fire and the tracks told and US-60 I had to turn around after half an hour of standing. Going back to I-17 to drive the long way it doesn't look like US 60 is workable past Wickenburg right now.

For those who want to arrive at the same time together, why don't we meet at 6:45am at AM/PM 4161 St Rose Pkwy, Henderson, NV 89044? It's just down the street for SpeedVegas. Let me know if you are interested otherwise I will be at Cars n Coffee at 6:45.

This is what I look like and I drive a green Parsh. You'll know me when you see me Hey IkoIko, I'm going to try to be there by 6:45. Save me a good spot with the cool cars! If any of you think I meant the 993's - kick yourself!!

+996

Left later than I had hoped to. Very long drive in terms of time and extra miles due to hellish traffic along the way and Waze alternative routing. Just now found a coin-op and washed the sled. Cross streets are Nellis and Linda in case anybody else is looking. And just to clarify, it appears that the address of C&C tomorrow is in Henderson.

I am here too. 7.5 hour drive due to fires and accident.

Teaching my daughter how to rough it in Mexico.

Welp, finally hunkered down at a Marriott after a long day enjoying pushing the clutch in as much as the fun pedal. But there were some fun roads on the detours between rollovers, garden variety wrecks and fire. I ended up on a detour via Waze that took me to the 40 east towards Needles. Then exited around Ludlow (I think) and cut through the Mojave Desert to Kelso (?) and then meandered back toward the I-15 the loooong way. And I think one of those roads was Kilbaker, for those with google maps that may be curious.The roads were a little rough, but fun twisties thrown in and so many g-outs that I'm surprised I still have fillings in my teeth. I may gotten carried away a bit, as I lost the driver's side pumpkin along the way. My cab with stock suspension would've been bottoming hard through the g-outs at the velocity that I was going, but the jic Magic coilovers on this car never bottomed once or made me white-knuckle and back out of it. But you felt it in your stomach at the bottom and the car went light at the peaks. Yes, it was fun . Then I eventually made it back to the I-15 for just a few miles before the chokepoint from the fire and experienced what Vitamin-C shared. Stop and go, people pulling over to the shoulder out of fuel, or just using the sparse vegetation as impromptu restrooms. Yeah, not fun. Anyway, here's some sloppy pics. Now I'm sipping a little Jameson's before crashing. More photos to follow tomorrow, but I suspect I'll be arriving at C&C later then most. Wish you all were here! And Cuda, how can I make Adelelita's jokes when you include your daughter in a Mex trip? Happy Hussongs! Blasting through Mojave Deserted in the desert. The fire chokepoint on I-15 Coin-op car wash in Vegas. Can't show up with bug wallpaper @ C&C. Head on a swivel, crackhead homeless wandering around. Pumpkinless. A casualty of the desert. You guys know where this is.

Back to hotel....after 9 beers. See y'all tomorrow.

And Mike...even totally drunk I see ur BS. U got the ****ing shirts. U r not in Mexico.

Awake. Breakfast time.

May the Force be with Las Vegas!

Nice pics. The real question is "has anybody been arrested yet"?...or maybe better "how many have been arrested at this point?"

You have an empty bottle of Vodka and you expect Kalash to show up? Typically that means he has been and gone already. I'm worried about you. Seems these last few days of isolation have taken their toll...

KC, you're not allowed to tell me to buy stuff anymore! You could've talked me out of the turbro, but noooo, you had to tell me to go for it. Thank you for that, I love the car. A great day with a great bunch of people today. We had some local PCA members join us on the run into the valley and then for lunch, as well. A very friendly and fun crowd. Brandon (Hawksfan) took the lead position and gave us the tour. Thanks, Brandon! And as much as 5CHN3LL comes across as almost a curmudgeon on here, I did see him crack a smile today when I caught him looking at a puppy... just before he kicked it. But he did smile, so that counts for something. Tomorrow will be karts and beer! Okay, probably just the karts, but they would be a fun combination.

Bain dramage. Drinking with the Russian and his co-conspirator until the wee hours of the morning = waking-up drunk this morning. Just checked in. May as well stay another night and see what the Hoffbrau house is all about. The Trump Hotel is better than Vdara was.

I would have loved to. Rough afternoon with the kids though.

I am back in Phoenix. Thanks to everyone for showing up and making this happen! Besides few hangovers, some lost pumpkins, and Schnell catching a prophetic Karma from JI...the only real casualty was Kenqv getting rear-ended by 10 year old girl during karting.

Nice meeting everyone yesterday. Sorry I couldn't make it out today. Sounds like you had a good time. I look forward to the next meet, Vegas locals, we need to get together more often!

Just got back to my room from Hofbrauhaus with Dr_Strangelove, EddieLasVegas and Kenqv. I just want to let everyone know how much I appreciate how well this weekend went. Every single person that I had the good fortune of meeting at this event were truly fun, interesting and nice people, and I mean the Rennlisters as well as the local PCA folks. Thanks, Kalashnikov, for doing most of the heavy lifting to get this thing coordinated. Thanks, HawkFan#12, for leading the drive to the Valley of Fire. Cuda, great shirt design! Thanks to anyone else that I failed to mention that also helped along the way. And thanks to everyone else for just being a blast to being around. And in another 363 days we'll hopefully be doing it again, and with more of the rest of you here that couldn't make this year! Okay, time for some sleep now.

The Hofbrauhaus actually turned out to be a blast and i dont even like German food! LOL

The 928 guys have a couple of get togethers like this each year: Sharks in the Mountains has its 20th anniversary this year. Hopefully this can turn into an annual thing. Maybe get a couple of sponsors onboard even to help with the coordination and the overhead. I could see doing 3 events per year - East Coast, West Coast and Flyover Land. I'm certain that we could host the Flyover land event here at the museum.

Sorry I didn't make it out on Sunday, had more fun than I thought it'd be on the parade laps.... nice meeting you all i took a track video I am going to try to get posted on here MTM

I was holding the phone so it isn't that steady.... You Tube

Hey Guys, so sorry that I had to miss this event. Just could not get back in time. It looks like it was a blast and I enjoyed seeing the pictures and comments. Hopefully next year. And HawkFan#12 and IkoIko911, since you both live in LV, lets try to meet up for lunch one weekend. Peter

dr strange love is also a vegasite. We should all get together.

It was not the kind of pummeling the rest of you sick b******s are imagining. Just stop it. That was a mighty smack you took...good thing you weren't standing. She was going full clip when she rammed into you, and at least a couple others in our group were also visited by the Helen Keller of karting.

Quotes source post: 14249371

Staying was the correct decision. The 15 was a parking lot. It took me two hours to get to Primm, so I bailed off there and stayed at Buffalo Bills. All of the Primm properties I've seen are dumps, but for $30, it was way better than sitting in traffic being pissed off. To everyone who made it: thanks for showing up. I had a blast. To those who didn't: If there's a second annual event - probably in 5 or 6 years - you should consider it.

I can't believe one of you guys didn't "Earnhardt Sr." her out of the track! That's the only way to get a "crash and burn karter's" attention. 12 yo or not they got to learn young that crap don't float! At the daughter's pre-wedding funtime we did Joe's Karting in CB, IA. The future son-in-law's sister thought she was Mario frickin Andretti until the youngest son and I teamed up and showed her the tire barrier. Boy was she pissed! She blamed me as "your a race car driver, why did you do that?". I told her she earned that treatment. She didn't try to again.

As Rennlist's unofficial grammarian, a**hole, and otherwise all-around pain in the ****, it's my duty to warn you that your sentence, as written, suggests that you, Eddie, and Ken were all back in your room. Now, given how much flammable liquid you consumed over the course of the weekend, that might be what you meant, in which case I hope to God you had an XBox or two in your room... But you know what they say about stuff that happens in Vegas...

He got rammed in the pits ^^ When the race was done. I bumped everyone silly. Myself and Ken were battling it out for a looooooong time, while lapping Dallas and the others.

Looks like a blast. Great pics all who posted!!! Nice to see all of those un-round headlights in one place...

Quotes source post: 14251158

Ah..now I understand the "Helen Keller" reference more clearly. Although it does sound like he wasn't the only one she smacked into. Bumping is usually ok if not too flagrant.

Quotes source post: 14251148

She dropped the decapitation blow at the end of the session, so there was no chance to take her out. She hit the cars in front of her hard enough that the one in front got knocked back out on the track and had to lap again. Either her Dad or the track attendant (or both) ensured that she was sobbing when she left. Which was good - if someone had been standing between two of the parked cars and they were LUCKY, they might only be in casts today. Either she was too stupid to catch on (after three massive collisions in the same session) or a lousy little crap who just didn't care; either way, I hope they threw her off the track for the rest of the day.

WOWZA! You are right a lot of times workers step between the karts in the pits to kill the engine much less participants jumping out excited from their experience. That could have been bad. Glad someone dealt with her and no-one got hurt.

Huge thanks to Kalashnikov & Rennlist for putting this event together. Had so much fun and met so many quality people that I decided to become a member and stick around. Sorry! As for the terror in the pits.. Kenqv was hurting some feelings out on the track. I think she saw an opportunity to strike in the pits and maybe over-did it a bit. She had Max Verstappen's racing line, for sure. I think she pulled 3 or 4 defensive moves before shutting the door on me and taking me out on the last lap. @ My Silver State Crew : DITTO! Enjoyed meeting everyone. Hawk I had a blast ripping through LMRA to Lake Las Vegas with you. Buddha, it was cool meeting you I was sad you didn't go to the park with us. I'm looking forward to our next run! I don't mind helping organize local events so keep me on your mind if you feel like going for a drive. I know Kenqv is up for shenanigans. To everyone else: RennRun needs to be an annual thing. This little experiment was a great success. If we have double the people next year the "going to jail" joke may not be as funny in 2019. See you guys on the boards!!

Oh, 5CHN3LL , I forgot - Love the sig

Back home now. Can't believe the temperature swings on this trip, from 100F on Saturday down to 32F this morning! Car handled it all perfectly. 1400 miles total. Probably more than some will cover all year. Near Tahoe this morning:

Finding my car's doppelganger was worth the trip...everything else was icing. Are you running any shims in your wing? If not, and if you ever feel like the rear end gets a little light at higher speeds, the shims drastically increase how much downforce the wing generates. I have the 8-degree shims, but you can also use the 4-degree shims for some of the benefit without changing the rake too drastically... Of the two, I'm guessing yours is the good one, and mine is the evil one - but if yours really wants to be the evil twin, we can work out some mutually agreeable arrangement. My tail pipes are smaller than yours. This is merely an observation and in no way indicative of any deep-seated psychological issues on my part. Seriously.

That's some pretty amazing stuff.... what's the odds of that?

100%, it turns out. Who knew?

No, actually, I'll admit here in front of everyone, a nice man who crushes people's dreams informed me at the C&C event that my wing is not the real deal. It's also not adjustable. It's bolted into the place where the normal spoiler lifts. I believe yours is one piece? Anyway... This is like the beginning of a thriller movie where one statement sets in motion a very expensive hunt.

Heh. Sorry, couldn't help myself. If I ever write an autobiography, "Sorry, couldn't help myself" will be the subtitle.

Quotes source post: 14251253

Heh. Yes, it's always fun when someone helpfully points out a significant flaw. I guess the good news is that if you ever wanted to go back to stock (like, say, you developed a massive brain tumor that affected your ability to tastefully appoint a vehicle), all you need is the correct insert. The car looks good to me. The adjustable feature is cool, but damn is it a pretty piece of kit. I know it's not "correct," but the MKII wing sets off the 996 better than the other Porsche and aftermarket wings. The taco wing is awesome, but I like the MKII just a wee bit more. The additional curves on the taco wing make the whole package a little too swoopy for my tastes, but driving a 996 with either wing beats driving a Prius or a Malibu... Please note that the preceding text may include raw, unadulterated, non-homogenized, and often indefensible opinion.

You would be at the country-club starring at working girls? I can see that. F6M had high hopes about you based on your posting and online persona. I explained the country club life....

Apologies for missing the fun. I submit exhibit A for the record, should any of the shady bastiges that attended this event doubt my intentions :P Cheers from Manila

Quotes source post: 14251548

FIFY.

Quotes source post: 14251546

. Country Club? Whatchu talking about Willis??? My online persona and real life persona are one in the same. You've met me in person so you know that. I just hope you told everyone how handsome I am....

He wouldn't shut up, and the more he drank, the more uncomfortable became the adjectives. It was kinda cute, but definitely in a "one-of-those-grown-men-carrying-a-Japanese-body-pillow-in-public" way.

Rest assured, there is photographic evidence that, um, proves that point

Is that a bacon-wrapped croissant? I was unaware that Filipinos have perfected the hitherto-unknown art of pork-wrapped pastry. Why was I not made aware of this invention sooner? So much lost time. *sniff*

Quotes source post: 14251596

Hmm, F6M expected him based on your Rhino, coke, and chicks posting. I normalized the image to:

Quotes source post: 14251661

That pretty much sums it up all right!

Quotes source post: 14251635

No bacon unfortunately, just a golden croissant. I got stiffed on breakfast when making the reservation, so fruit heavy room service got the nod. My lady is a Filipino that grew up here, so I'm under pressure to load the suitcase with gifts.

What a good time RR 2017 was! Thanks to Mykita (the peace sign loving guy), Mike (not pictured; left after C&C) et al for organizing this. Here's the rogue's gallery at lunch in Overton NV after the Valley of Fire run. Eddie

Thanks for posting that pic Eddie! Few cliff notes. I still have about 30 RR 2017 flyers left. If anyone wants them for memento or just to hang around, PM me your addresses and I will send you 5 or however many you want. I am really happy with how this turned out, and that we were able to get so many different yet like-minded people together. And again, thanks to everyone for coming and making this happen.

I'll start working on the shirts for next year's event.

I've been drinking water all day and still don't feel right. Perhaps because the only thing in water is... water. I just got home tonight. And Dr. Strangelove, you called it on the Trump Hotel. The train horn was clearly audible from within my room on the 35th floor. I chose that place because it's not a casino and thought I'd get some peaceful rest there. Nope, didn't happen. Great room, beautiful interior throughout the hotel, but I can't recommend that anyone stay there. Bummer.

Oh yeah! I believe VitaminC takes the award for furthest distance traveled from home to attend the event! Awesome!

Befunky-made collage. Eddie, sorry you got cut out. Feel free to play with you variations guys to make your own versions of this.

Got all my photos uploaded. You can see them here . Some highlights:

To the folks that need their shirts mailed, i will get them sent shortly.

We will now enter the Twilight Zone of bad reasoning where each side produces arguments incomprehensible by the other side. ​​​​​​

Yes.

I already have two penguins

When is the 2018 going to be planned?

I'm in town Dec 10-13 if anyone wants to buy me a beer at the paigow table. They are only $100/per there, in my experience.
