Westiva 2011

[fastivaca]

140 days to go and I'm getting excited already:blob2:

Just a heads up for anyone looking to camp at Mount Kidd RV Park. They've changed the reservation policy and procedure. Reservations can only be made 90 days in advance so mark April 16th or 17th on your calendars. This campground books up fast so be sure to reserve as soon as you can.

Reservations for the Bow Valley campground opened up earlier this week.

Numbers are looking good too. I'll start a "who's coming to Westiva" thread a little later on. We had ten cars last year and I'm hoping for 15-20 or even more this year.

[postman101]

Well i just got the 14th and 15th off too now so i hope i can meet up with some cars in calgary for the races if thats still on.

Maybe I can tag along with Scott and Mike, sounds like a blast! Can't say 100% I'll be there, but I'll do my best!

Edit: Marked on my calender! My days off work are actually Wednesday and Thursday, so maybe I'll take a whole week of and bomb around while I'm heading out anyways!

Now, just got to get me a running Festiva...

yeah lol i have all of the parts i just gotta send the block and head out to be done then drop it in and then trailer it up to vancover wa. to get it tuned and dynoed! so about another 1500$ and it should be done, plus i gotta go file for a pasport!!

What time of day do you start meeting up at?

Meet at Wedge Pond from 10am-1pm and having a picnic lunch.

After that there's a 20 mile cruise from the pond up to the Boulton Creek Store for ice cream (the kids large and small loved this part in the past) and from there to Upper Kananaskis Lake.

Some stopped back at Wedge Pond on the return trip and hung around for a bit.

^ that sucks lets hope you win the GRMC

i just thought of an idea, we should keep all our gas receipts and track the mileage and see who gets the best mpg... (i say this cause its an award that i know i cant win lol...) i dont know what the prize could be, but ill try to think of something...

That's a great idea! I say this because it's something I believe I can do very well at. hehe
If it's for mpg on the way to Westiva, that'd be cool. I've gotta be able to let loose one way!

Mikeycar for GMRC champ!

ya only on the way there... on the way back im going all out... lol jk.... if i can get my tune perfect MAYBE i can lean it out and get good mpgs... i dont know but i think the guys from out east will beat us guys from out west cause they dont have any hills lol.... they should have to bolt a plywood sheet to the front of the car to make it fair

I'm going to be trying to find some "goodies" to give away again this year. I had a couple of Rock Auto gift cards last year that we gave away for "crowd favorite" and "long distance".

I'll be starting on this in earnest in the next few weeks.

[thered56]

^ oooh sounds like extra motivation to me! Wait 'til ya guys see what I bring! btw Ian, your Festi is one of my favs, I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Does "long distance" count if you take "scenic route" to get there? haha

Thanks, it will probably be looking more like a "rat rod" at Westiva as I hope to get started on some body work this spring, mostly rust repair. Don't know if I'll have decent wheels on it either as I'm in the process of doing the Aspire brake swap.

"Scenic route" mileage doesn't count. Last year it was pretty clear cut as mikeycar500 came out from Ontario.
