yes!....well, I hope so....provided the field mice have not chewed up any wiring and/or she fires up and accepts a tune up nicely! .....oh, and only after we pay up on our storage fees that are currently sitting in arrears with your fantastic friend Dylan! Haha

Hope to again, last year was my first time there. Doubt I'll have aquired a new car by then however and I need to drive twice as far now.

The Shift Scirocco is planing to be there again to kick off the 2012 hillclimb season.
We're doing a lot of small drivability improvements to the car right now as we were trying to get into Pikes Peak.
Not thinking that we'll improve the time as last year's fast runs were just way too nuts at 1.57.xx

What's a good hotel to stay at while I am in town for the race?

nimmo · « **Reply #15 on:** Apr 16, 12, 00:39 »

A few of us have had luck at the Pandosey Inn a couple times. Book early anywhere you stay, Kelowna gets busy May long.

nimmo · « **Reply #16 on:** May 13, 12, 20:46 »

Less than a week away!
