Potential C race at Latoria??

Post by Vanessa »

So. Western Speedway on Monday was really fun and now I kind of want to try a Wednesday night ... Apparently if enough C riders show up, there will be a C race... would anyone else be interested??? Could be fun :D

Okay, I'll do it. I just can't promise that I'll be any help. Anyone else? Ladies?

I'm not sure, but I'll throw up a couple of posts on some Facebook pages and try to get some people out.

I just talked to Russ Hays and they said that there's a C race for sure. So I guess that means we HAVE to show up!

Wow! This is great. I'll be there and happy to organize our efforts as best we can to give everyone a good try at it. Not much experience but a good idea of what to expect.
The race calendar says races are at 6:30 so be there at 6pm for sure as it takes a bit to get registered and we can meet quickly.
Very happy to hear there'll be more of a TS presence. Very cool.

Hi Paul, I'm planning on riding out from downtown. I've never paid much attention to how long it takes me to get out there, but I can try to be at the switch bridge by 5:15. And yes, I have my lights for the ride back.

Due to work schedules, I will be driving out (most of the way). I'll have a couple of extra spaces on the bike rack for anyone, if needed.

So I just heard that a truck flipped in the Northbound lane on the #1. If anyone's on the fence about riding vs. driving, today might be a good day to pick riding to the race start.

For those intending to drive out, note that the highway is currently closed at Thetis Lake. Apparently a septic truck dumped its load.

According to DriveBC, the estimated time of opening is 5pm.
