?
Hi, Ryan.
Yes, it does conflict
. The Saanich race is a very well resourced event and it is just 15 minutes or so from the ferry. It takes place inside a community event and large baseball tournament. The facility is a massive, open track inside an outdoor lacrosse box. There is power on site, washrooms, food kiosk, beer gardens, lots of spectators in the bleachers and you can camp on site. It's a nice event where we run a club race on Sat and then a trophy race on the second day. All racers are welcome to attend both days. Lots of fun and a different form of driving due to the size and layout of the track. Lots of trophies and prizes, too. You can also leave all of your equipment, tents and so on, set up over night if need be. For the guys that want a single day, you can catch the first ferry over and still make it to the track for practice and racing. Generally the guys were able to catch the 7PM ferry home with no trouble at all.
