Castrol Raceway June 29th (meet)

Ok, so Calgary no longer has a race track, and I have been seeing talk of a meet...

Me and another local (at least one for now*) are going to drive up to Edmonton/Leduc for the 'Street Legals' racing on June 29th;
That's the friday of the long weekend btw.

I'm officially putting it out there, that we're coming, and if anyone else in AB/SK/BC/MB or what ever want to come, we can make a mini meet of it.

I hope to see at least some others there!




(*= we're a part of a Facebook group called 'GM Tuners of Calgary')

Nathaniel ~ this is a Friday evening event that Castrol hold every weekend (it's exactly like Race City's "secret Street" events they held almost every friday during the summer).

Since we're a little more than four weeks out, can you arrange to swap a shift with someone?

I understood you're going to be out of "commission" pretty much all summer... and you never chimed in over at GMToC...

It would be sweet if you too are able to make it...

Just this afternoon Kyle said he's in...

Jon - it would be great if you came ~ since you hadn't officially responded to our "event" as coming, I figured you were not sure, or busy that friday...

Ha!!

that's a loooong haul.

I don't know if there is any discernible time savings by taking the yellowhead (iirc just west of brandon) - but if either or, both of you decided to head this way (as in Calgary via #1) - you're more than welcome to crash at my place.
it's nothing posh, but I''d do my best to accommodate you.

I haven't heard of any (even psudo) Cobalt meet since the 2009 meet at (iirc) Castrol...
the 2010 was in Mission, and seemed to flop - and it flopped so bad that no one even mentioned a 2011 event (the website domain is no longer used/hosted - It was westerncobaltmeet.com)...

proof:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...&ct=clnk&gl=ca

I know discussion has been made elsewhere but no decisions had been made... maybe this will turn into the unofficial Western Canadian Cobalt Meet v.2012

well, here's an update of sorts - I just filled out a form for something CSS.net is doing coined as "community outreach" ~ if everything goes according to plan, I should have some CSS.net "swag" to hand out...

BUMP-ity-BUMP!!

Im sure Ill make it out for that. I usually get off early on friday's, and could use a good track day, plus meet some other cobalts. Just the cars, not the drivers.

If im hugging your car and welcoming it to edmonton, dont mind me

Anyways, ill keep the evening open.
