Well, it's not confirmed yet. But if we are indeed going there, it's about a 90 minute drive (45, if you're driving). It's a beautiful part of our province, with a picturesque mountain and lake setting. We can eat there, or just take some nice photos and enjoy the drive.

If you've never been there, it's definitely worth checking out.

You're still welcome to join us for the drive on Saturday though. And the weather isn't looking too shabby for that day either.

Sunday April 19th Dyno Meet Update

Most of us will be there for around 10AM so come early and you can do both!


Blitzkrieg has offered us their preferred shop rate and they are going to waive the $30 setup fee. Our total is $100/hr for a maximum of 8 hours! (The regular dynapak rate is around $150USD/hr, this is an amazing deal folks!

If anybody has specific questions feel free to PM me.

Blitzkrieg Autowerks
1672 Franklin Street
Vancouver, BC V5L 1P4, Canada
(604) 253-6586‎

Click here for a map!

We will be pre-meeting in Richmond at Lansdowne Centre nearest the Kwantlen University corner lot at 9AM sharp for a 9:20am departure time. If you are in Vancouver meet us at Blitzkrieg or en-route. We will be taking Knight Street all the way down to Clark, then turning right at Franklin Street.

I can't imagine we'd stay there for long. At most, we'd grab a bite to eat, snap a few photos (not too many, JikJak, don't worry), and be on our way back after that. My guess is we'd be back in town at around 5 pm.

Come, it'll be fun!
