Packwood travel plans
« on: June 04, 2018, 03:14:11 PM »
I know quite a few people and planning the trip and maybe some would like to share travel plans? Always safer (though maybe slower) to travel in a group.

I believe Cam, Ambrose, and I plan to tow in for the tour starting Thursday after work stopping in BC for the night and arriving in Packwood on or before dinner Friday. Anyone interested to travel with us is welcome.

I am flying back to Calgary from Seattle on Sunday evening and returning Friday afternoon for the ProSolo. I may be able to provide a ride to or from Seattle for anyone that has a similar schedule.

Although I have not been informed of my exact planning for the Tour weekend, I believe it looks something like this...

Drop Kathy with friends in Kelowna on the way through on Thursday. Be in Packwood late morning Friday. Back to Kelowna Sunday night. Then a week of Island time.

Interesting......Kelowna autocross Thursday night.  It's hilariously small, but it's fun (ask Murray - he's been).  You're welcome to co-drive with me in my H-Street MX6. 

We leave Kelowna around 3:30 am Friday ....yeah I know that's early, but hey it's 4:30 Alberta time  :P  Your welcome to join the convoy if you're leaving anywhere around that time

Take Brian up on this if you can -- it is definitely a fun evening.  Usually hot, but something about Kelowna and summer... :)

Cool, I'm in Kelowna in August right before Solo Nats. I'll check to see if they have any events while I'm there.

Every Thursday night in Kelowna - last one is Aug 23 though.  There is one in Vernon (40 minutes away) Sunday Aug 26.  PM me if you want details or find me in Packwood.

Wayne - I sent you a PM.

Sorry for the thread derail......

I'll be leaving Thursday morning from Calgary hopefully around 7:30am or potentially leaving from Osoyoos on Thursday afternoon with Ken P that's still TBD. Either way my plan is to be in Packwood Thursday evening so we can hit the T&T course early on Friday before the crowd gets there.

Having tried various strategies over the years, I found the most relaxing etc. was to arrive on Thursday evening when there is hardly anyone there .. .plus you get a good pick for your pit area inside the building....although usually it is not a problem.  Being there on Thursday just makes everything less hectic and you can settle in before everything starts.   :)

I'm arriving Thursday night in Sunnyside, WA. Will get to Packwood before Noon on Friday for T&T.

Osoyoos ? Interesting route but adds like a couple hours to the trip?

Yah if I do the Osoyoos route I'd head up to Osoyoos a day or two early just to break up the drive a bit.

Once we get to Packwood where does everyone intend to park/pit? Chris and I have always parked in building "A" as it's completely sheltered, the downside of that is that it's also quite dark in there and it's further from the grid. I believe Ryan, Wayne, Tom K like to park in building "C"? Should we make the orange star in building C the unofficial SASC Area?
