The GTRC decals have arrived for those of you who has registered. It will be added to your registration package. They look awesome!

PAY N SPRAY CAR WASH (Wand/foam brush pressure wash)
For those who are road-tripping it and dont have time for a proper car wash here are the two main spray washes in Kelowna. Ive used both with no problems.
1) 375 Harvey Ave. This is located in the Chevron parking lot
2) 1830 Underhill St

Lots more but those are the two largest ones and give you an option depending on which direction your coming from.

First off, it was great meeting a lot of you, it's nice to put some faces behind the user names.

I think many of us can agree that communication was not perfect. My understanding was that not everyone who signed up to attend the meet would be participating on the track. During the course of this thread, estimates were thrown around about how much it could possibly be to take part on the track, but there was no confirmation by most of us that stated we would be doing any racing. As mentioned by dah_hunter at the meet, arangements to collect deposits for those who wanted to track should have been initiated well ahead of time. I personally noted I would not be taking part on the track when I sent my $20 for the food and "goodie bag" (which I did not bother sticking around to collect). From what i've read on here, and heard from at the meet, nothing seemed to really line up. It seemed like Todd and Elliot were the only 2 relaying the information from here to the rest of the individual event organizers and believe this could have caused a lot of the confusion and frustration. And I believe a lot of the guys were going off this post:

It took longer to type that post then it would have taken to fill out the registration. The $20 is for the BBQ and event package/decals/lanyard ETC. Track is seperate and will be determined when we know numbers. The cost allows you to enter the arena, racing or not.

Regardless thank you guys for organizing the Skymeet, I know it is not easy to put together such gatherings, and hope a lot can be learned from this year to make the next better.

I didn't want to be the one who bitched and didn't show. But I found out yesterday via Pm that today would cost $60 even not racing. This was not clear enough and, sorry, but I'm not paying $60 just to show off my car. Sad, that's not what an owners meet should be. I was not able to make the Friday night but was hoping to make Saturday... But not for that much. Regardless I was sick as hell today. I'm sure a fun time was had none the less. Let's hope lesson learned and next year's will be free of the confusion.
