Yes, it was a great weekend with some fabulous folks. Plus, a fantastic mix of cars.....early 911 narrow body longhoods to 997 C4S. The best part, I have never seen so many turbos at a single event. And, driven like they should be.

Got home at 7:15 PM after another amazing day of carving up twisties. My shoulders are tired from the 1700 kms of arm wrestling.

It was a funny weekend from an organizing view of the world. Day 1 was like herding cats trying to get everyone into Nelson, day 2 had the participants orderly and focused, day 3 plans were....well, plans that got revised several times as we travelled west.

I appreciate the praise, but it is really all you folks that make the event what it is. I enjoy organizing some of the drives we do. But, I can't take the credit. We (Al, Paul and I - along with a few other firends) dreamed this up over a few beers and cigars at a shop party back in early winter. A few more emails to work out the details and the 2014 CanAm was born.

The part that amazed us all, the event basically filled up within 5 days of the original post. We opened the number of participant twice to a total max of 30 cars. I believe we ended up with 26 actual cars participating with a number of passengers to keep the drivers pointed in the right direction.

I will sort through my pics and post a few later.

Thanks again for making the event a success. Cheers all.
