36 drivers enjoyed the slalom challenge at the Pitt Meadows Driving Centre on a sunny Saturday. In addition to Corvettes, we had Porsche’s, Fiero’s, etc., even a Lotus Elan which was sporting a set of large slick tires. Some of our dedicated non competing club members worked to make this event a fun and safe exercise for all attending. Marie Wheway and Rosalie Sinden coordinated the timing process. John Jenson, Al Frost, Gary Clarke, Lew Berry, Wayne Pelletier provided invaluable assistance to make the event a smooth and fun process for participants. 
Believe it or not, the fastest time was set by the propane powered Corvette of Jim Sandwith from Victoria. And there were lots of other fast Corvettes, represented by our members Paul McAlduff, Nigel Wheway, Patrick Tran, David Mitten, Ken Butcher, Bill Powell, Giff Robb, Blair Degenstein, Marj Bowen, and of course myself, Vic Nightscales. We had some first time competitors, and it is amazing to watch their smiles broaden and they discover the wonder of their cars. Paul McAlduff of Tireland was kind enough to provide a few prizes at the end of the day, and that capped off a wonderful event. Next events are August 21 at Pemberton and August 27 at Pitt Meadows, and we need all members to help us make these a success.
