This part of the board is so weak someone should do something about it, I would volunteer but school is occupying my time... Hell not much going I guess.

My car will be back on the road in a couple weeks..theres my contribution! lol ;)

Its funny that this is the first time i've been on the board in months yet I see this message on the day you posted it.

This section was originally started up a few years ago when we had a pretty strong island group going and we were having lots of small meets and mainly wanted a section to post about our meets rather than crowd up the main meet section.

Seems like the island group has dwindled in the past couple years and so has this section of the forum.

I would love to see a little more attention to the island.  I am way up in the boondocks here in Courtenay, but even still... a Sunday drive never hurt anyone.

I'm down for a meet, my car isn't insured at the moment since I put my Mustang back on the road but I would throw a day permit on the dsm if there was going to be more than just a couple ppl going to show up.

I'm awake and very much active around here...
The car seems to be sorted for now (I'll see if I can make it to two months this time without anything breaking), although it is leaking oil out of the top of the valve cover. I'm waiting for it to warm up so I can put the summer tires back on.

I'm good for a meet almost anytime, although I will take the opportunity to remind everyone of TOFINO in AUGUST.

The next autocross at Western Speedway is on the 19th, courtesy of the Vancouver Island Porsche Club. I'll be there if anyone else wants to wander out.

I thought the next autocross was the 25th? or is that hosted by another club?

The next Victoria Motorsports autocross is on the 25th.

There is a Porsche Club event on the 19th.

The three clubs I run with are Victoria Motorsports, the MG club, and the Porsche Club - The Porsche Club is usually hurting for entrants, so I encourage anyone interested to come out and run.

That said, they've got the whole back straight torn up at Western right now. I hope they're done soon.
