2017 West Coast Rally - June 1-3, 2017

Guys, This is going to be epic.

....man I wish I could add my name to that list...  but we'll get the drum to our good man in memphis. I'd love to take it to cincinnati

I have a friend that lives in Pollock Pines, CA. Just east of Placerville on US 50. This happened overnight and is still snowing.
I can't wait to see everyone in June.

still snowing....

Happy New Year All... 

Yep, I was just in Truckee and woke to the same...  about 18" up at the ski resorts and another 3.5 Feet coming by Th morning.  The other thing about that snow in the pictures is it came down at about 23-25 degrees F... Colorado style powder is a bit rare in Tahoe, but that is it.

Looks like a great ski year on tap (yesterday was day 4 for me this year), so I'm hoping for a later June!   I hope to get a many more good days in those kind of conditions, so really sucks to drive out of there today.  We drove out through a strong storm with ~40mi of chain control.  I really didn't want to go, but can't miss work this week...

This year's WCR is going to be spectacular and I can hardly wait myself...  but I don't want to wish my winter away.

Steer clear of the trees, Frank!

Fred, we have five month to go, we should be fine. Plus there is a "Pineapple Express" storm hitting us right now and the snow levels are above 7000'.

Okay, there are several who do not have accommodations at this point. In an effort to ensure we could keep the bunkhouse area to the FJ group only, I have reserved the four remaining units. When you guys are ready to make your accommodations, let me know and I can call them to release them to you guys.

On another note...

We have been gathering items for a raffle and creating some friendly competition categories.

We are going to have some awards for...

Show & Shine
Most Modified FJ
Longest rider to WCR

I am going to see maybe we can't have maybe a riding competition or two as well. There are a few other things being worked on as well to make this event even better.

This is going to be a great time. If you are on the fence, it is time to jump off and sign up.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.

"Show & Shine"

How about by model.....there are a few longtime members who spend most of the last 30 years shining and I know of one 84 that will be tough to beat.

I think it might be a pretty stiff competition...I have seen several very pretty FJ's at rallies over the years.

We might be able to do that by model, but then we might only have one per class...

All voting will be done by rally attendees.

I think a rule for the "show and shine" category is that the FJ in consideration must be ridden to the rally.

No trailer queens.

Now Pat...

No rules...except for the longest ride on a FJ to the WCR.

No trailer queens.

Mine would be considered more like "Trailer Wench" 

[Pat Conlon]

Well, I had to try....

[racerrad8]

Well, I had to try....

That might put you in a class of one that way...Many show quality FJ's have to trek across the country.

Paul's bike was looking pretty sharp last year, hopefully he will be able to join the fun too.

I hope everyone brings their favorite polishing gear.

And Alan, with the powder coated & polished wheels you are definitely in the running

Remember this is the Show and Shine category.

This is going to be a great gathering.

For some reason, I feel this was aimed at me! LOL! No?
