It sure is fun seeing events like this. Good luck and have a ball.

Thanks Harry - appreciate you having platforms like this to spread the gospel! :music-rockout:

Excellent! Very glad that matters have now reached this stage: I am VERY much looking forward to this! I am sure we will be discussing this at length at our Friday race night. I will definitely be volunteering as one of the members of the Vancouver group.

Alwyn, such a good Samaritan to volunteer! :lol:

Wow Tom.. what a great job on all the documention for the up coming Tourist Trophy. I sure hope I make one of the kelowna teams. If not I will be their to help and meet fellow racers from Western Canada. I've been in Mexico for 10 weeks so the trigger finger is a little rusty. Thanks to all the sponsers.

This is an exciting opportunity to bring the various slot car clubs situated in Western Canada together. Many thanks to Tom M. in taking on this task.

This will surely be an fantastic time... :auto-driving:

You've got a great bunch of guys in Calgary, and looking forward to getting together with the rest of the West...

All the best...

Ron...

Awful quiet round here? I'm sure everyone's cars are all tuned & ready to go?

I've done the hardest part, opening up the box LOL ... now the easy stuff, at least we have the next 4 months to procrastinate :lol:

Hey Alwyn,

Yes we have a car, sort of...it’s the STP liveried Toyota. I used a Slot.it picture for some of the art, so I thought why not?

I’ve always liked the Toyota- most in our club race a Porsche (me too) - so I thought about trying something different... to be, well different!

I opened the shrink wrap, but that’s about all at this point ... lots of time procrastinate still!

No one else has declared what they intend to run yet, so your livery/car choice is pretty wide open.

Look forward to hearing what people go with...at any rate, it should make for some close and fun racing.

Tom

7 weeks to go...until the inaugural Tourist Trophy, hosted by Kelowna Slot Car Club at the historic DCMR 110 track.

In our June instalment of the Tourist Trophy newsletter, much to update on recent happenings!

Teams are all paid up, hand out motors have been tested during a FB livestream, drafted by teams & shipped out to teams.

Team drivers have been selected; as have both the primary and back-up team cars and liveries.

The "arms race" has begun with KSCC's Team 'Eh and Team BEER throwing down the gauntlet with beverage-infused, speed demons worthy of a competitive Group 5 proxy car :o

Two more sponsors have signed on.... special welcome and a shout out to Slot Car Mods (SCM) magazine and SRC slot cars, joining the ranks of Slot Car Corner Canada. :clap: :clap: :clap: :music-rockout: :music-rockout: :music-rockout:

While GVSCC's paint booth is working overtime, here's a little informational "teaser":



Cheers, eh!

Good to see your June ? newsletter TTT. The hosts had a run through at Richards on Sunday. Some kinks to work out yet but all things considered we are quite close to being ready. Should be a lot of fun. With every day forecast for next week above 30 C it should also be hot in August (outside and on the track). Good thing so many cars are drink related.

Yeah, good thing Team 'Eh is running the Coke car! .....Team BEER may however run into some DUI issues :lol:

Should be a hot one. The weather will be warm too! Our Turd-ota may still be a turd, but one day she'll blossom into a beautiful butterfly...either that, or I take her out behind the shed for some wise-guy TLC :violin:

In July news, we're happy to announce that another sponsor has seen the light and joined in on the fun. A big welcome to SlotCarUniverse.com. A big thanks to Tom Coulas aka MidageKid aka Mr. Pioneer Slot cars in Canada for all he does for the hobby!
