Sure Doug, that looked like a pretty good track in kamloops, I never ran it. No shortage of corners! What were you running, a pro se? Or the xx?

Anyone have any pics or video of the old port coquitlam track under the powerlines circa 96-97 ish ( think it was there till 2001-2002 or until the new poco track opened) thats when i first got into rc and ran my first races with a xxt cr in stock class i've gone back years later and it never looked like there was a track there kinda missed it.

Nope, not Kelowna. The one in Kelowna was (still is?) in Rob's backyard. The mountains in this pic look more like the Sicamous/Salmon Arm area.
