*** VERY IMPORTANT SCHEDULE NOTE ***The new WCICS triple/double mains format requires more time to complete the main events compared to previous years.
Depending on turnout, we *might* run the A1 mains on Saturday evening after qualifying is finished. If this is deemed necessary, then we will also run several heats of Q1 (likely Mini and Touring Stock) on Friday evening to allow more time on Saturday. As registration numbers firm up, we'll know if these schedule adjustments will be necessary or not.
TravelThe track location is very close to the Victoria airport (YYJ), the BC Ferry terminal (Swartz Bay), and the WA Ferry terminal (Anacortes->SidneyBC). All of these options are less than five minutes from the track and hotel. IROCC is offering a free shuttle service for those that are flying or walking-on the ferries.
FoodThere are many restaurants, fast-food options, and grocery stores within one/two blocks of the track.
