Western States Cobra Bash 2007 – Main Thread

[jmarsey]

Hey Pat,

It's weird. A few weeks ago the were sold out when I called to get a room for my daughter. I called last Monday and got one. So it is hit & miss. I would call the Nugget and use the WSCB code. I know they have rooms in the “Terrace” which is across the street but connected to the Nugget. It is the East & West Tower that is maybe sold out. It’s worth calling as they do have cancellations. Keep us posted Pat. We may have some other options but I'd have to talk with Duane.

Talk soon, John

Hey Pat. Here is the scoop. The discounted group block and the main hotel is sold out Fri/Sat, and has been for a while. I had a few extras set aside for emergencies, and those are gone now too in the group.

HOWEVER, I call every few days to check for people and a room pops open here and there in the main "Tower" where most of us stay. I just checked with my source there, and there were some open in the main hotel on Friday, but not in our block on Saturday, but a room was open on Friday again. There are rooms in the older/lower (not so great) Courtyard hotel adjacent to where we had the car show last year. If you are bringing your car, give them the access code on your WSCB registration form and they can check periodically to see. Three others have tried in the last few weeks and picked up a space from the main hotel and reservations actually honored them with our group code rate, which is great. Note, the janugget.com registration website will always show it as full now, so try calling them every few days and see if one pops open - and I think it will; Let me know. Resvervations: 1-800-648-1177.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the info - I will check regularly.

Pat: Hope to see you there.

Yeah me too Pat. Would love to see the 40 up close in person. I am in Vegas right now and will drop the Cobra off at TomsMotorspors to have the suspension gone through. Will put it to good use at the BASH!

I was wondering, I have a few family members who have expressed interest in coming to the BASH/TRACK DAY as observers. Is this possible? They'd like to come watch to see if I blow up my car on friday (I know they can't ride, heck, even the official GUEST can's ride), but can they sit in the stands and watch the activities?

And on Saturday, other than the 100 mile drive, it's pretty much just the car show during the day, correct? Can they get in to see this? I know that they'll have to fend for themselves when it comes to food etc, but can they observe?

Thanks, Ron

Ron,

Glad to hear the side oiler is back in action.

I saw spectators at the track last year.

I`ll see you there

Ron,

Yes, absolutly your family members can come to Bash and Track Day. We will have lunch for the WSCB-Track Day participants only and limited extra for non-paying folks, maybe. So they may want to bring something. Many non-public track events are like this. You will have an opportunity to take someone out on the track during a short parade lap session.

The car show on Saturday is right in Victorian Square and open to the public. We had a big turn out last year and folks seem to really enjoy these cars. Food and drink is right inside the Nuggett for purchase.

I don't think you'll get an opportunity to blow your car up at this event.

Think positive and see you soon, John

Hi Maurice,

I still have my fingers crossed. The car is not back together yet, the tranny will probably arrive today. I think my shakedown run may well be the drive to Reno. Never a dull moment 'round here.

Look foreward to seeing you too.

[maurice19]

Wow. Ron

CORRECTION to the ABOVE


Track Day Spectators:
The owner of the track has reserved the right (by contract) to only allow WSCB registered attendees with badges into the track facility; i.e. he may decide to charge anyone at the gate, so be aware. It may not be free for spectators.

Lunch is prepaid with ID badge for registered Track Day participants only, and marked on each badge. If the vendor has food leftover, she may be able to charge for more on an individual basis.

The car show is FREE and open to the public.

Thanks,
DC

On another note...There was a GREAT article in the Reno/Sparks daily newspaper about the BASH. Should attract a lot of spectators to the event.
