Looks like a warm weekend.  Bring some water and sunscreen on Sunday.

Is speedweekend a one or two day race this year?

Is speedweekend a one or two day race this year?

Two-day, more original format, but with triple mains to practice for the upcoming carpet WCICS events and their new format.

Fun race day yesterday with some good racing all around.  The new track layout worked really well and is a little tougher than previous layouts I would say.  The little dot-hits and mistakes seemed to promote a little more passing which is nice.  Now that the layout is painted down, setup should be MUCH faster next time.  This will give us extra practice time and a little more time between races/rounds which will be nice.  Even with the slow setup we still managed to finish the mains by 3:30PM which is great.

We had close to 15 people yesterday which was great, but it would be awesome to get up closer to 20 or more.  Hopefully we'll see Brian, Jody, Glenn, Dan, Doug, Jarrod, Joe, Kayden, Mateo, NickF, Avery, Tyler, Tom, Jacob/Matt, John, Vince, and maybe some others join us next time!

Next race at Juan de Fuca is in two weeks:  Sunday June 19th Father's Day, so all fathers should definitely be in attendance!

Yes, but don't go too crazy or Thomas might feel some pressure to work on his.

I am, but, I am heading south on Friday for a week, I have a wedding to attend on the 18th (ill try and race the 19th depends on how hungover i am), and am thinking about heading to London for the last 10 days of the month.

Doug

[Blake]

Gotcha, hopefully see ya on the 19th then!

Remember everyone that we're not at Juan de Fuca this coming Sunday June 12th.  Instead we'll be downtown at the Victoria Curling Club for the UrbaCity special event.  See you there.
