Corvette Heat

It’s so much fun to spin your tires and feel that kick of power propel you down the Slalom course.  We had 31 drivers enjoy their cars, 18 Corvette drivers and 13 miscellaneous makes, including a brand new 2013 Scion FRS.  The Corvettes ranged from a 1969 C3 to 2008 Black Z06.  We used a slightly modified reverse Justice Institute setup just to vary the pace.

Fastest of the Corvettes was Paul McAlduff who set a sizzling 64.000 second time.  Other BC Corvette Club notables were Blair Degenstein, fastest C4, Marg Bowen, ladies C4, and David Staley, fastest C6.  Walter Vodermayer was fastest of the C5 contingent, Pat Watson was fast lady on race tires, and Brian Salisbury was fastest in the non-Corvette group, in a Miata on race tires.

The key volunteers that made this event possible were Garry Clarke, Walter Gfeller, Stewart Heyes, Rosalie Sinden and Cindy Vodermayer.  Great thanks to Paul and Terry McAlduff for providing some fun prizes, and thanks to all for coming out and making it a great event.

I Bike For Pie

On the strength of last summer's wildly popular, I Fly For Pie cruise, I convinced my wife to bike (as in bicycle) out to the airport, tempting her with the famously good pie.  We biked for 35km, the last 10 minutes with drool flying from our mouths in anticipation.  When we arrived at the Abbotsford Airport, guess what we found?

Wrong airport!

Yes, we biked to Abbotsford, which, it turns out, is not Chilliwack.  And worse (for us) Chilliwack was another 60km away!

We had a smoothie and turned around for home...

Of course, the BCCC cruised out to Chilliwack for pie just weeks later, but I missed that due to, well, not have a working 'vette... and being on vacation.  But you can check out the photos!
