I'd like to thank the organizers of the BCAC for putting on such a big honking event.
Special thank you to Guido, the fabulous host, who put housed me and fed me and humoured my philosophical ramblings and rantings. If you ever have the chance to stay at his place, it's great! Thanks so much, Guido!
Very nice to see all the old friends of events gone past, nice to catch up with Troy, Tyson, Todd, Tony, Scott, Ron and Jen, and others I have missed. I miss you guys - it was like "coming home."
Very nice course. Technical in the right spots, and nice for all cars and classes. Very fun!
Speaking of fun, I came down for the weekend specifically to have fun again. Over the years I had become (or continued to be) too competitive in my mind, I was losing sight of the "fun" factor of the sport. I had a blast at this event!
(Novices: be sure to keep an eye on your alignment - the rear wandered to 1/8" toe in, not good! A tweak to 0 toe, and the whole car changed phenominally! Had I caught this earlier....)
I am likely to only come down for the BCAC for as long as it is held. I doubt that I will compete another full season, as we're hoping next year to buy a house and start a family, so I can use the money elsewhere. I will still race in the Okanagan, and I'd love it if you could make it for an event or two (special thanks to Bruce, Steve and Tom who braved the scorching heat earlier this year).
I'll admit I was apprehensive about the Barbeque over the banquet. But the cornucopia of food, and the ability to get home before dark (the Sentra turns into a pumpkin at midnight) was indeed nice. Thanks!
I also appreciated the expediency of the event - being able to get all the way back to Kelowna by 9:30 (Hope-Princeton) was very nice. The 4-in-a-row format worked well in my mind. Nice to get it over with (less anxiety for me).
I would also have liked to look over the D Mod Midget more closely - what kind of motor was in there to make it D Mod? Definately worth a looksee!
Myself and others were thinking, wouldn't it be neat to have the BCAC run by ALL the CACC solo clubs? Have each club share in the running of the event? Certainly make it easier to put on a kickass event with less strain on a particular club, as well as further foster that "community" spirit that this sport embodies.
