The new Kamloops pavement track is virtually ready to go ! The drivers' stand is complete, and the track is painted in. The 1st club race is August 11th, followed by August 18th and August 25th. (Gotta make up for lost time !). Races in September will be posted shortly. These will include the Kamloops Fall Classic, making a return to On-Road format after a two year stint as an Off Road race.

The "River Family Festival" demonstration race went off fairly well. Thanks to all drivers for a good turnout, including two from Kelowna. The race was delayed initially when the City failed to provide the safety fencing we had requested. The River Radio station came to the rescue with some strategically located banners - and then took them away again before the Mains ! This meant no Monster Truck main, which was a shame. The "E-Maxx" had out-qualified all the Gas vehicles, and it would have been interesting to see if it could hold them off over a 15 minute main. The electric races were all completed, however, and everyone seemed to have fun.

Must have those fences next year, though, or we won't be able to do it again.
