Reply #5 - Aug 23^rd, 2013 at 5:46pm I had a meeting with Chief Clarence Louie this afternoon and he has confirmed what I have "heard" . I am invited to the meeting with the press next weekend with Jacque V. and will advise further after that official announcement. A country club type of situation .

By now several of you will have seen the story on Global Vancouver. I can advise that some 100 folk were in attendance at the public meeting on Sunday afternoon , I think more from the Porsche club then others. Several nice cars in the parking lot, Lambos, etc.
I believe that another meeting takes place on Tuesday in Vancouver.
Our local blog, www.Oliverdailynews.com ; covers the story better then I could tell it, you may have to scroll down and go to "older news" to see the stories about the proposal .
Bill Drossos did mention the possibility of hosting an SCCBC race and a Vintage race in the future but at this stage all is pie in the sky . Mind you, $35,000. and $5,000. per year are no longer prohibitive amounts to many .
Chief Louie and the O.I.Band will not let "a shovel in the ground" until 200 are signed and committed.

Reply #9 - Nov 22^nd, 2013 at 12:07pm Phase 4 is calling for Timing and Scoring, grandstands, and other fan related stuff. That looks to me like they want to be able to host real racing at some point. I have serious doubts they'll get to Phase 1, much less Phase 4, but I hope they prove me wrong.
