Cool mark me down for a vehicle/trailer in there.  We can book 6 months ahead of time so that means Feb 13 should be available online to reserve.  I have a calendar reminder set up lol.

Alright guys, this is 8 months away!  With that said, I believe camping spots go on sale early next year - let's discuss:
1. Camping spots - same or different?  More spots (to North or South or both)?
2. What we liked from last year?
3. What we want to see different for next year?
Title: Re: 2021 Winchester 250r Meet Up Ride
Post by: The norm on December 16, 2020, 06:19:18 PM
I  am planning on snagging the same spot as last year and getting the next spot to the south. Each site can have 5 vehicles and 20 people. I will reserve them as soon as they come available.
As far as events go.....
 1) Drag racing ( seemed to be a lot of fun last year right in front of camp)
 2) Timed barrel race
 3) Timed relay race
 4) Wheelie contest
 5) Group ride (herding cats)
 6) Meet and greet lunch
 7) Group pictures (hope Gene makes it this time lol)
 8) Campfire BS sessions every night at my camp (bring your own chair and beverages)

These are just a few ideas I have floating around in my head.

Good feedback Loren, I second a lot of that especially the Gene photo Op thing.  But hey 3rd times a charm, right :D

What are you thinking about the relay race?  A poker run could be fun too but would require some of us/family/friends to help out.

Need to do picture earlier. So I don't have so much on my mind. I don't even remember why I missed it this year.

Post by: The norm on December 17, 2020, 12:26:36 AM
The relay race could be a 100 yard dash down and back or a course we set up. I was just thinking of something that I could get my boys involved in. Have 2-4 man teams with a baton hand off.
Doing timed events will add a safety factor as you wouldn't have racers getting tangled up with each other.  Each team would do the relay one at a time. We have "race officials " log each teams time and so on. Repeat the process for the barrel race. Let's also think about getting a starting light/drag racing Christmas tree  for the drags.
I'm sure we could scrounge up some prizes for 1st-3rd place.

Gene the picture just isn't right with you guys missing lol!

I have a old stop light that might be perfect for a tree id have to wire it up for the staging and if your thinking about a sensor then staging lights i might be sble to do that too

I'll remember my radar gun this year for those of you that truly want to know how fast your going. As a reference I hit 70 on my R (mostly stock with bolt on's & clean up porting) with 20" tires & 13/39 gears. Be cool to see an R hit 90 on sand!

Alright guys time to start planning the activities a bit more.  Let's start with a fun one - the barrel race. 

Is this how we envision it?  And are those distances good?

We can do a "left start" - has 2 right turns in it lol.  Are there other layouts?  I've never done one and can't say I was sober enough at any rodeos to know what way they were going.

Post by: havinnoj on January 28, 2021, 09:00:40 PM
Not to be a party pooper or anything else but why bother with a tape or anything else, when you can just walk it out. It's not like there is any record over a fixed course, or time or anything else. Once it's set up, it's not moving, everyone will run the same course, the same afternoon. It's great to overthink it, but isn't it just for fun, you could run a cone or stick or even a quad sitting in place for the corner, just about anything would work. Most "R"s won't turn tight enough to bother a cone, or much of anything else.
desertR

Yeah either or will work fine.

We're not over thinking anything, we're joking with each other about measuring distances & who has the longest measuring tape. I actually win unless someone else here has a measuring wheel. Mine clicks off 1' increments & has a 5 digit readout so I can measure for miles & miles. I might have to find a paddle tire for it to use it on the sand.

Well for a relay race we pick a starting point and a mid point. Have an official at the mid point (handoff) and an official at the start/finish. Have a pair of stripper panties as the batton lol. Fastest team time wins. Sounds good!

Don't worry everyone! I got a new job, but I negotiated an extra week of vacation and was assured that I would be able to use it. I have two events this year that I am unwilling to miss. The first event is the annual 250R Winchester bay dunes ride and the second is a Motley Crue/Joan Jett/Poison/Def Leppard concert.
So it looks like I have my priorities in check. Have a great Saturday my friends.

Haha well thanks for the compliment Evan!  We’ve mentioned the idea for a few years now and I think with the turnout this year we will have some great bikes in there to make things interesting.  I’m thinking it’s judged by all participants - with colored circlular labels to represent a 1 vote per category per person.

Hate to break it to you fellas, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  I am partial to the black beauty in my stable lol.
Looks like a good list of activities Ryan.
The only change I would make is the drag racing. We should have that out where they go for raptor rally. If we get a big turnout it could draw too much attention and also be extremely dangerous around camp.

HAHA so true!  For all I know, polish and chrome was the in thing 20 years ago! 

Good point on having the racing out at that hill.  That makes reconsider the group ride a bit - the hill is not the easiest to find if you haven't been there before. Do we think folks will do a 60-90 minute group ride and then go fuel up, and come back out to the hill to race?  Or are we better off doing a 330 meet up - and a quick ride out to the hill and start racing earlier?  Can do a group pic at the hill too?

HAHA so true!  For all I know, polish and chrome was the in thing 20 years ago!

20 years ago? Polished aluminum & chrome will never go out of style no matter what Loren says!

Whew, thanks for having my back Kevin! haha.

I’m curious...where is the hill for racing?

Joe

Ya Joe like Loren says you've been there.  It's not one of the big tall dunes - it's almost the opposite - it's a decent incline but very long and doesn't have the "J" at the bottom since you're racing the opposite direction.  So probably why it wouldn't stand out in memory.

Hey Jim.  Welcome to org!  Loren (the norm) booked our sites.  I’m sure he’ll chime  in shorty with information on booking spots.

Hey Jim - I’ll post a few links for you depending on whether you want to sand camp or day use.  It looked like Discovery Point was filling up but sand camping, Half Moon Bay, and day use should be open still.  Though August seems to fill up quick so you might considering reserving a spot (if you decide to camp rather than day-use). 

Some of us will be in the 2 spots just next to the 3rd parking lot.  I think the capacity is 5 rigs per spot which we are already over that capacity.  Though last year we didn’t have any issues being over capacity.  You’re welcome to camp with us but it may be crowded and should the rangers enforce the limits, I’d hate to make anyone leave! 
That being said, folks tend to stage all over - condos to sand camping to day use.  So there will be plenty of us out and about, and can always come hang in our camp!

Where to camp & stage:
- Sand Camping:  https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234196

- Umpqua Dunes RV Park (Discovery Point):

Howdy Jim. Unfortunately the two group sights are already over capacity. If you check on recreation.gov you may find some camping next to us. We are in 46&47. I just checked and see plenty of sights open if you are willing to sand camp.

The trip isn’t to bad when you fly into Portland lol.  I guess I should have mentioned that. I don’t make the drive.  I’m planning on it soon though to drive with a bunch of east coast guys (maybe next year).  Beer!!! Yes we will have a few!  Can’t wait to talk.

Winchester is easier to navigate for a big group.. Personally I would love to do Coos at some point but it's harder to get everyone together IMO.

Hey guys - NEED FEEDBACK on Schedule:

Saturday morning - do we want to do a group ride?  Or I was thinking just meetup at Banshee hill (say 10/11AM) and ride a bit and hang out.  There will be an afternoon group ride. 

And then Lunch happens 12-2
Show n Shine 1-2
Barrel Racing 230-330
Group Ride/Group Pic 430-530
Drag Racing 6-8

I tend to agree Joe.  I may put the Banshee Hill meet up on there since it’s close, and we can hang out.. but you’re right Saturday is a blur!  I’ll probably need a bit more help from our crew for the Show n Shine & Barrel this year too

I agree with skipping the morning ride cause in typical fashion some people probably won't be up, running, or just ready to ride and so the rest of us will have time to go break our rides before a group ride. LoL

People need to realize that this event is still evolving. We are far from perfect, but will continue to get better and grow. If you don't like how the event went and have ideas that will make it better then get involved. I feel like we did a good job keeping things flowing considering the fact that 250R guys are hard to manage lol. I would like to thank croat1, broken1, havinnoj, traxxman, my friends and family that helped support us Saturday,  and anyone else that jumped in to help.  I had a blast and am already looking forward to next year!
