IT was a blast last year. if you can make it to this race then do it. It is lots of fun and if the Wings and Wheels event is on it will have lots of classic cars, motorcycles and stuff on display. Not to mention classic planes doing fly by's every now and then. There were even carnival rides there last year. Great fun for everyone. IT was about 4-5 hours from the Canada-USA border. (peace arch crossing.)
It is a one day event but you might want to think about spending the night. Last year I did the all nighter driving down there then helped Flatline and Joker and did some filming then did an all nighter back. It was a Loooong day for us.
