No kid?

CDG · #32 01-24-2004, 12:19 AM

I'm not bringing mine either

Alycone · #33 01-24-2004, 03:13 AM

I don't think I've met yours.

CDG · #34 01-24-2004, 12:00 PM

No you haven't, actually, nobody has.

Alycone · #35 01-24-2004, 12:05 PM

So you've got some secret kid no one's seen?

CDG · #36 01-25-2004, 12:26 AM

Nope, I've seen him, so has Kim.

And anyone who attended the Burnaby BC Meet saw him

Alycone · #37 01-26-2004, 10:40 AM

I don't recall being invited to a Burnaby BC meet.

Yeah, as "most reliable" I'm sure you would have attended too!

I never heard of that meet either, but I assumed from the tongue-sticking-out smiley that Chris was being sarcasitc.

Or maybe it was just one of those really exclusive meets!

ensteele · #39 01-26-2004, 12:22 PM

Exclusive? Yea, Chris and Kim were the only ones that attended.

I wasn't invited either.

WestCoastSVX · #40 01-26-2004, 01:39 PM

Very exclusive!

But don't they have one of those meets every day?

CDG · #41 01-26-2004, 06:42 PM

I have a mini meet everytime I go to work, there's another pearlie at my office, my locker has pics.

Actually, we didn't have a meet today, he wasn't in.

But since you mention it, I think it makes sense to have a Burnaby Meet. CAN$ are cheap as borsche

Closer to the summer will be nice, and we will drive to Cypress Mountain: www.cypressmountain.com or Grouse mountain: www.grousemountain.com and take the gondola to the restaraunt on top, awesome view of Vancouver.

Summer is very nice up there. only about a 20 minute drive from Burnaby.

WestCoastSVX · #42 01-27-2004, 11:09 AM

Excellent idea!

It is indeed very nice up that way in the summer. I went up the Grouse Mountain gondola probably like 15 years ago and it was an awesome view! At that time, we actually could see the tall buildings in Seattle from up there with binoculars (might be too much pollution these days). If I remember right, we took the big gondola all the way up to where the restaurant was, and then from there took a little chair lift up even higher.

Also went to the Capilano Suspension bridge that day, kinda spooky if you don't like heights.

two thumbs up! make a plan / set a date / start a post! (...can we drive up to Westwood racetrack too?)

CDG · #44 01-27-2004, 05:03 PM

OK, so we want a Canada Meet.
Capilano suspention bridge and Grouse Mountain Gondola/Restarant are very close, so it'll be a good all day event.
Westwood racetrack doesn't ring a bell though. I'll need to look that one up.

First of all is the timeframe?
Secondly, time of Day?
thirdly, itinerary? Capilano Bridge, then to grouse for a ride up, and lunch or dinner, nightime is the best view, only if weather cooperates.
ANy idea?

Sorry I couldn't make the awards dinner, sounds like it was a lot of fun. I'm still scheduled to work till the end of next week. Hopefully I will get some time off soon... As for the Canada meet, thumbs up to CDG for taking the ball and running with it. On another note, WESTWOOD RACETRACK does not exist anymore. They closed it and developed the land, many, many years ago. BUT, We do have an awesome technical race track located in Mission. It is an actual full meal deal, used by several different racing leagues (scca, etc...) I have raced on it and it is very technical in nature, and extremly hard on brakes. It was an awesome experience though!!!!

Maybe this could be an option, or tie this in with a two day drivers' training course, which upon completion enables you to legally race. (Seattle, Portland, Calgary etc...) Just an idea.....
