So, you guys have been really helpful in finding the information I'm going to need to get started..
The next question is, is there a bench racing series that one can attended? The latest snowfall has me a bit bored and can't go get the car until next week now so not even any cleaning I could do..

UBC has a slush series through the winter.
VCMC starts in March, I think.
Otherwise GT6 and Dirt 3 on PS3 are my winter withdrawal med.

Thanks See23.
Was wondering if the "club" had an off season gathering spot where one could discuss future mods. racing plans and lie about past achievements.

I was originally part of the Kamloops sporty bike scene and trying to rekindle something here similar. so pub nights? coffee nights? BBQ's or some such.

Haven't touched a gaming console since the kid lost my memory card with GT3 99% complete

The forum barely keeps a few of us connected but there ain't much more.
Not a bad idea though.
I like the lying part. Been practicing on myself for years. :lol:

Scratch that. Invest in a PS4, or 3, and get Dirt3 and GT6
It's my secret weapon to prep for a race. Particularly Dirt3

It's only a secret because few (locally) believe it has much value. Oh well, their loss.

On that note:
You'll spend more on tires trying to get faster then you would on a good gaming console with limitless simulation seat time and an endless supply of tires that fall from heaven. :D
