Official June 2004 Reno Meet

I'm definitely interested in one of the block rooms. Sign me up!!! $69 per night is a nice rate.

I'm coming from North Cali, so I'm up for meeting someone in Sacramento or Roseville for the drive up to Reno. Sort of counterproductive, since I live east of Roseville, and Reno is east of Roseville... But having multiple SVXen on the freeway would kick ass.

I was thinking that we could take a nice scenic drive down to the South Shore. Here's the proposed drive. See the attached map of Lake Tahoe for visuals. Start in the upper right corner.

We'll take 431 through Mt. Rose from Reno. Stopping at the Mt. Rose scenic overlook for pics. Take 28 down the east side of the lake. We can regroup in the Ponderosa Ranch parking lot as we will probably get seperated at the 431 to 28 turn (only a stop sign and the turn is onto a fairly busy road). Then we head down hwy 50 to the California/Nevada state line. We can park behind Harrah's casino. From there, people can go do whatever interests them. They can then either visit the casinos, take a walk downtown and visit the store for some goodies or take the Heavenly tram up to the top of the mountain for some spectacular views of Lake Tahoe. I'm going up to the top of Heavenly for some views (maybe we will be able to get a shot of the cars in the parking lot).

I figure from there, some people will want to head back, some people will want to stay in South Shore a little longer and others will want to take the full tour of the lake. Emerald Bay is really nice, but parking (especially on a summer weekend) is tight. We can break into smaller groups and do what we like. We can all meet up in Reno later.

I'm not from Reno/Tahoe, but I've been there a few times. If anybody locally has any suggestions, let me know.

Well... If no one else thinks so... I think this is a great start! I'm for it as it stands... Opinions??

thanks for the follow up info on the meeting...so your planning one in reno....ok no prob i'd love to be there...as a newbie...(go easy on me) -lol- i would be interested in going....what else happens at these meets? (dinner?, auto cross? ect) sorry for the novice questions but I've never been to one... so i don't know what to expect or plan for. I assume we can get a discounted hotel room if WE reserve blocks and such... anywho... just wanted some basic info on what else happens once a meet is set and planned... and thanks for not getting... upset with my ego coment (having a bad day...week..life i'm not sure yet -lol-)

hey any chance we can move the meet up by a week? (weekend of june 10-13th) if no one has any objections.... its just we have NASCAR in sonoma the following weekend and that might strap some folks (like myself) for the el-casho funds -lol- and days off and such.... just asking for input....thats all not saying that i wouldn't come....

and as far as this trip goes with planning....the heavenly site does offer a gondola ride to the top of the moutian during summer that costs around $12-15 per person ..i looked on the website i didn't see any ad for it ( i might have just missed it) but anywho its a nice 30 min. ride depending how much time you spend at the top... was a very nice view.... and you can see 100% of the lake and the cars on the road (just think....SVX's EVERYWHERE!) -lol-

some hotels on the reno side might have packages at some of the places that have casino's and such... we might be able to get a group/hotel/chips for gambling package....just an idea...there is alot to do for us..just a matter of setting a time table and setting enough free time aside for your "wander'ers"

[Uncamitzi]

Please go back through the Threads... It took us a while for us to get this far. There is a sign up list here also. A block of rooms is availible by sending your information to Michelle (thndrmtn92svx) I will have some information on the Auto Musuem later this week.

Take your time and read through the theads to catch up... If you have any questions then.. Please PM me or post in this thread..

Oh... and welcome!!!

Peppermill is a very nice casino. Great buffet.
It's a little past downtown, but not too far away (about 10min drive).
Does that mean free shipping on parts brought up? Or do we chip in for gas?

I called the Auto Museum yesterday... I gave up the dinner reservation for the Saturday night as response was cool... (there is still time to change (except they have booked a wedding for Saturday night...) Sunday and Friday are still open....for now... what do we want to do for dinner???

[MNYPNNY]

I can call Sands Regency catering to see what they have to offer. It may be more than we can afford, but I'll find out.
Does anyone want to let me know what you think a good median price for dinner should be?

On another note.... I will be PMing everyone on the sign-up list about rooms within the next two days. I have to get the list to the people setting this up right away. If we don't show that we have people for all the rooms, we will lose those reserved that aren't booked. Make sense?

Thanks all.

I won't need a room, my sis lives in town.

[MNYPNNY]

Okay folks, I went back through all three threads and compiled a list of everyone who expressed a desire to attend. That list is below. Over the next few days, I will be contacting everyone on this list via PM or email to determine current status. Please make sure you get back to me asap. As of tonight, there are still 4 of the reserved rooms available. I have been informed that I need to get the list of people to my coordinator by the end of next week at the latest.
