Celestial beings sighted in Sidney area
My husbands are coming to get me. My husbands are celestial beings that are coming down from the sky to save me.
There are some strange noodles in Sidney. And I'm not talking about the Noodlebox.
Some of you will remember this. And wonder. Wow. How many episodes of the twilight zone did that lady watch .

This is my 7th year racing on-road. I have attended this event since its inception in 2012. In 2013 IROCC/NRC joined WCICS and has never looked back. This will be IROCC/NRCs third time Hosting their leg of the WCICS, and it's getting more popular every year. Two years ago the entries hit the 250 mark. Making it the largest race (entry-wise) in the entire WCICS history of 25+ years. Although the other clubs hold great events of their own in the WCICS series, If you were only able to choose one race in the Western Canadian Indoor Championship Series, Victoria would be my choice . All the amenities are close to the track, hotels, stores, food, and Groceries all with 500m of the racing surface.
The year entries hit 250+ the races were 6 minutes. Even with the strict and super organized race scheduling we still raced on into the dark hours of the night. Some of us spent 16 hours at the track that Saturday of qualifying. WCICS executives and club representatives came together to devise a gameplan, with entries in excess of 250 surely they needed to change something. So instead of capping entries of their race events ( which would send drivers home if they exceeded 250) WCICS officials decided to change the race time from 6 min to 5 min. Saving up to 30 minutes per round of qualifying.
Long story short. You will not be disappointed

Thanks Dustin - you've always been a great supporter of our race! We actually topped out at 230 a couple years ago - but for me it's more about sharing a fun weekend of racing with all our RC friends around Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest USA.
See ya all in January!
