Sounds good Shawn.  We *should* be home on Sunday night, so you technically would not need Monday off work.  If we miss the 9PM ferry, there is always the 10:45PM to Duke Point.

Hate to say it but only room for 5 in the truck. If there are more, then we will need a second vehicle.

With my work, i can't take the chance....Being AWOL at my rank is very expensive.

Hey Jay,

Sounds good.  If you and Jamie are able to make it, will you take your own car from Nanaimo, or will you want to carpool with us?

Hey all,

Looks like the track won't open until 3PM - 4PM ish on Friday for practice.  So, we can get away with the 9AM boat I would think, and then grab a late BP lunch when arriving in Kamloops.

This is the lineup so far.  Possibly looking at two vehicles....

1. Blake
2. Craig
3. Daryl (tentative)
4. Shawn
5. John
6. Rob
7. ?
8. ?

Haven't heard anything from VIHA, so I am pretty positive about going. Not too positive about Barb's hip replacement happening till April or May, though.

Looks like you guys have an odd number for rooms... let me know if someone is looking to split a room. I may not make it till Saturday Morning... Let me know... Friday is still a possibility but not till after 5pm leaving Vancouver for me.

Hey Ryan,

Josh is looking for a room mate too.  I told him that we'd find some floorspace for him in our rooms if he's desperate.  But... if you are coming for both nights, maybe you could room with him?  I can try to add an extra room at our hotel (Howard Johnson near the track) if you want.

Ryan, the weather looks better on the "Coke" than it has in 2 weeks. Aren't Keith and Nospoom heading up?

  Sorry, but it doesn't look like I am going to make it.. I am running hours behind tonight and I still have to many things to accomplish.   There is no way I am going to be ready to leave in the morning.


Maybe next time.

Shawn.
