2008 Pacific Northwest Smart Event At The BC Driving Centre

[Gent 1]

Well, the Driving Unlimited guys had a fun time as well! They just sent me an email saying they'd like to help us plan an event for 2009 at Mission Raceway. It'd be for 40 people, and the cost would be slightly more than this latest one.I know Bob is working on the USA track angle for us as well. I hope they have some numbers for him soon so that we can compare.Update: The price: ~$162.50

Gent,

Have Melanie try photobucket.com. She can upload a bunch of pix all at one time by using the CTRL key to select multiple files.

HTH,

Bil

p.s. does this board not have a photo album function?

I'm in and I would help if I could....We ought to have some timed drag races at the end of the day, if we're using Mission!Sounds like a great event, the last one was IMMENSE fun!

I love your exercise drawings. Nice job.I am working on arranging the road course driving skills event and will post as soon as I have the info.Preliminary pricing for a one day event with breakfast and lunch would be about $500 US.And it would be difficult to get the track on a weekend unless we do it October-February.But I don't have final information yet so look for a better update soon.Bob

Usually do the work part at my folks place - more tools, jacks, fluids, and of course Dad if we really get stuck.SmartUSA - for the sticker!On to the exercises - reading about the proposed exercises is sort of hard to visualize what is going on - so I did up some diagrams - think I got them right - Some pictures and Video coming!Cheers,Cameron

We are up for Mission - provided it is not much latter than the event this year in August (trip planned).I can set up some room on an FTP site - or has this been done?And yes I will hopefully get the video's edited etc. this weekend - I think life needs some ABS brakes lately!Cheers,Cameron

That shot is great Steve, do you think it will crop into a banner shot?

[Coast Steve 1]

She only took these two, Ian, and here is the other one.How do you crop for a banner?maybe she can do it.

[For2 1]

Check out the Site feedback forumand look under banner submissions.In there it gives all the details on size 423 x 123 and how to name the photo for submission.Hope this helps.It easy once you have done one.

[Gent 1]

Hmmm, how's this?

Banner looks good Gent.

[Coast Steve 1]

That does look good, it would be nice to see it on the banner.

[Gent 1]

Ok Steve, it's yours, so you should post it in the banners section. I look forward to seeing it!
