  • Friday drive to GCVW

    Hey all, so not sure who is going to GCVW this year, but I figured let's try and get this organized. I know I'm posting this a little short notice but was waiting until after Autounion passed. So for those who don't know, the Great Canadian Volkswagen Show is starting this Friday, August 23rd. Here's a link to the website for the show CLICK HERE!

    The weekend starts off with drag races at the Mission Raceway in Mission, BC. Gates open at 5pm, I don't think I've ever been there before 7 and I've never missed seeing anything either.

    Keeping that in mind, we will meet at the Petro Canada across from COP Friday morning at 6am and leave at 630am. This will give us enough time for refueling the cars and our stomachs along the way and still get to Mission at a decent time.

    After the drag races we will part ways, since I will not be staying at any hotels or attending any of the Saturday events I am just going to try and organize the drive to Mission.

    Last year I attended the CTS turbo BBQ after the main show on Sunday and drove home alone. This year it doesn't look like there is a BBQ so we will try and organize a drive home too. The main show on Sunday goes to 4-430 typically. I will have my car parked in the show so I won't be able to leave before then. Once we figure out who is going we will attempt to plan a drive home.

    Please post your name and what car you'll be in so we know who and what we are looking for/waiting for Friday morning!

        If I'm going I'm leaving at 5AM, I want to participate in the race as long as possible, and I'm coming back Saturday morning.

              You realize Vancouver is 10 hours away? Sounds like a waste of time to me.

                I dont see why its a problem if Jerry wants to drive to Vancouver and back right away. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. If the race is worth it to him, then its worth it to him. When i was a touring musician we took on 25+ hour drives just to play 1 show and come back, crazy to you, worth it to us. Have fun everyone!

                  I suppose. I would stay for the show though...

                  If it's go drag race I would just go up to Edmonton and save myself 14 hours of driving

                      I wouldn't do it either, but we can never understand someone else's mindset and excitement. Can't just assume its simply a waste of time because you wouldn't do it. Anyway, I'm not trying to be rude, kind of woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Continue on topic, sorry for the sass.

                        You guys are right that I can just go to castrol but they dont have vws all the time but racing superfast cars just isn't as fun as racing similar MK4 or Mk3. I'm driving down to BC with my dad friday 5-6Am if you guys can make it a little earlier we can drive there together.
