      Hard to say.
      They say on the website that their tech uses NHRA spec, but I've seen them let a few minor things go on the Friday nights.
      Granted, I've also seen them nitpick on a bunch of details. But they rarely send guys home.

        Doesn't go much into detail. They even have and autocross comp on Friday nights too!

                I am going to be doing the same as last year, driving to Radium Hot Springs after the meet. I may camp or I may just motel this year. The mosquitos were NUTS last year. Aaron and Mike came along last time and we had a blast. It also is nice because (at least for us) we were that much closer to home for the drive back.

                    I think im also going to take monday off as well. Taker easy on the way back. There is a place in Creston that makes the BEST perogies. And I wouldnt mind touring the Kokanee brewery again.

                    We could take the #3 Hwy back this year. More scenic, cool stops and most importantly its very curvy.

                        I totally thought of another cool thing to do on the way back. In the town of Oliver there is a cool little river that is popular to float down. In the heat of the okanogan summer it's great.

                          I kinda doubt they'll be doing the AutoX this year.

                            I've mentioned before that the stretch of road on the way to Westiva is in the opening credits of the movie John Q. Here it is for all to enjoy...

                                Hey Hey... Well i am in... Don't know how much i will be able to get done on the festy before that but I am gonna come either way... I prolly won't be allowed to run the strip though due to lack of door handles and possibly the relocated battery issue.... But oh well... I have the days off booked already so I will be there for sure...
