yep, so long as your license is not L.
my guess is 6 official runs done by ~3pm, then fun runs, each day.
tech usually closes at 830am but u can probly arrange for an exception if u ask henry (tech@vcmc.ca)

I contacted Henry, great helpful guy.

I will be there.

Any suggestions to make a newbies life easier?  What to bring, etc?

Tires pumped up to at least 40 psi.  And that's about all I can think of other than food and water.

ensure the batt is bolted down securely to pass tech.

u'll have to take all loose items out; a plastic bin will keep em dry in case it rains.  

bring warm/cool/rain gear, sunblock, etc. as weather there can be windy and variable.

not too worried about the car,as it passes at Mission no problem.

The waterproof crate is a good idea, but maybe I will just leave any loose stuff at home.

The weather advice is good, I didn't even think of sunscreen but you never know eh?

See ya then
