Moving to Alberta Next Week

Well I'm leaving New Brunswick heading to Grande Prairie, Alberta next week. It's going to be quite a long drive. My gf and I have to drive out two cars, the Cobalt and the Sunfire. So what is there to do around there? Any tracks close to GP? What about dynos?

Ya, not much in GP. But they do have a dyno, and once a year (already past this year) they have a reacing event out at the airport.

Hopefully you already have a place lined up as well, the vacency rate right now is outragous, its less the 1%

We are in North Battleford, Sask right now. This is our 4th day on the road. The gf and I are driving our two cars out so it's taking a little longer getting there. Plus we have our dog in the sunfire so we have to stop quite a bit. Only really been driving 10 hours a day at the most. The gf also got a ticket in northern Ontario for tailgating me lol. Ofcoarse she was driving our Cobalt and I was driving the Sunfire. Going to Edmonton for a couple days tommorow though then going to GP for work on Monday.

Hope it's not that much of a **** hole. Oh well once we're there we can find somewheres else to live.

So you guys said there is a chassid dyno here in Grande Prairie but I can't seem to find one. I know OK Tire has a new one but it's not set up and they said they don't know if or when it ever will be for some reason. Anybody know where the one is you guys sugjested?
