Hello Pacific Northwest USA. This announcement comes from just north of the border. The IROCC club in Victoria BC Canada is pleased to announce its annual carpet trophy race, co-hosted with the NRC club from Nanaimo BC. This year the race is Rd #4 of the Western Canadian Indoor Championship Series (WCICS):

Hey Blake,

The race sounds interesting for sure, but I got a question for you. If a person was staying at the local hotel next to the track, is there some food choices nearby (walking distance), Does not have to be fancy, can even be fast food. I may not have a car with me is why I am asking.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Yes, there are fast-food options and proper restaurant options within two blocks of the track. There is also a grocery store, coffee shops, and a movie theatre all within 2-3 blocks. The location could not be more convenient.

The seas are starting to part. Work is settling down going into the holidays. This going to give me the chance to get signed up, book and plan. Paul and I did the Anacortes boat from Sidney via Friday Harbor this past summer. Wow, that was worth the trip right there! I am totally digging the single mains with bumps. I am personally weary of triples. It makes the main day so much less stressful. And it means that I could run 4 classes without blowing up a charger in between mains.

Thanks Blake, I have still have this race in mind but not sure if I will be able to make it, but I have wanted to for awhile now. All of the Seattle guys who have run with you guys still rave about it.

Excellent, I love my S411 although it has yet to hit the rug, but I have really enjoyed it on Asphalt. I just got my LE S411 ordered up, so I will be building that up next, just gotta sell the standard S411 off. How many Serpent guys are up there. Congrats btw.

Hey Franko,

Yep, no problem. I will have my van with me in Sidney so I can pickup as many as 7 people at a time. Just let me know which ferry you'll be on, and I'll be there.

Hey Brian,

Sounds great; looking forward to having you back yet again! Not sure about the Anacortes ferry schedule in the winter.... It might be a morning-only trip, getting you to Sidney as early as noonish.

PS. You won't believe this, but the name of the room at the facility is called the "Bodine Family Hall"!
