I see my entry was delivered. I love the new “ish” class.
I must be feeling my age, but I would like to try a driving at a slower pace with a number of stops for the scenery. Easy to say when my foot is not on the accelerator. But, the key to the length of the first day out from Squamish is overnight accommodation. One year it was at 108 Mile House, which I enjoyed. Another was at Sun Peaks (final leg a lot of fun) and either is a long drive made shorter by higher speeds. No time to dawdle along the way. Yes, there are some cars such that “dawdling” is flat out, which makes for a long day.
In order to expand the time for cocktails at the end of the first day, the departure time from Squamish could be made an hour earlier than usual.

Hi Bob,
Warwick and I are definitely working on the pace of the event, and the distances driven. We’ve had great feedback from a number of guests, and will aim to please everyone!

Bob Hoye: You wanna drive slow, drive slow, but that doesn’t mean the rest of us will….that’s the beauty part of this event. And I think the departure time out of Squamish is just fine the way it is…..some of us have to drive a considerable way to get there in the morning…and, anyway, schmoozing and critiquing other people’s cars is part of the fun……….
Ted: What I meant be a “slower pace” was enough time for stopping to view the scenery or historic sites. You might recall the rather quick Graphite Grey Alfa Spider with the 2 L engine. The fastest I’ve seen on the accurate speedometer was “brisk” on the leg to 108 Mile House.
Bob: I take your point and quite agree. Sometimes we take for granted the beauty of the countryside we’re passing through…..all of which was no doubt lost on the guy in the right-hand drive Mini that passed me at well over 90 mph on Hwy.5A halfway to Kamloops last year…………
