2024 CAR SHOWS & DRIVES

I thought I would start this thread now, at least for those that do drop into the site.

As I am NOT on social media, I have no idea what may be going on. As I saw a comment via someone else's smart phone the other day, about a new persons car now on the road, I was pretty disgusted and am GLAD I am not on there..JEEEZUUZ!

I am starting my car today and doing some fiddly stuff, to be ready for mid April on.

I hope that people like Ron S., etc, let me know if they are going to any shows, etc,.

Race season starts at the end of April, so I hope to be helping Specialty again and taking lots of photos. Weather being good I may take the 510 out just for the drive.

I can only assume Byron's 510 day will be a go, it's on a FRIDAY, so must be aware of the traffic crap these days. I just might head to Maple Ridge at noon if a nice day and go sit in a park. That Golden Ears bridge gets crazy late in the day, as does Cloverdale for me. I still relive getting almost stuck at the top in the G35.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and getting some miles under our tires!

I barely ran one tank of fuel through the M56 last year, Iโ€™d love to get a cruise in this year if the timing works.

Be great to see old faces too, not sure how the months manage to go by so fastโ€ฆ

Just insured the Blue Goon and made it back to the realm. If we need a parking lot, Langley BMX will rent us theirs on the cheep or free if we bring our bikes and race.

Jason and I will have these two at the Peach City Beach Cruise in Penticton, BC if anyone wants to join. June 21-23, about 800 cars. peachcitybeachcruise.ca

This pic was from Okanagan Falls last year. There is a weekly get together at the Legion if anyone is in the neighbourhood. They usually get about 30 cars.

Hey Jeff, thinking about you the other day. I did the show in Penticton in 2017,
would love to attend again.

Have you pre-registered? I can't remember what I did, other than drive up at 4 in the morning.

Place was freak'in packed when I got there at 8. Some beautiful machines!!!

Would be fun to have a 510 corral. Mountain weather would need to be good for me,
is was perfect the year I went.

Keep us posted.

Hi Keith,
Yeah, Jason and I have both registered. We missed the VIP so we don't have reserved spaces. Probably in the same park you were in last time.
I can talk to the organizers about getting a club spot. Great if we had a few cars together.
I've got a bed for you if you want to make a weekend of it.

Thanks for the offer, will keep that in mind for sure. After my experience last time, we need to be at the park/regi for who ever comes up, at 6 AM! Which means if we drove up day of, that would be a 2 AM start time...UG! I don't even think I could do that now.

Weather window in mountains would have to be 100% too.

Sure enjoyed my drive last time, set my own pace and the highway was empty up through Manning.
