    Thanks to all that helped me have a great weekend at your track.
    I learned quite a bit but let me mention just a few
    There is an auto shop called Lordco...
    Blair Layton will literally take a part off his bike to keep you going...
    There is no way of telling if your stock exhaust can will pass sound until you get to the track...
    What passes sound on Saturday may not on Sunday...
    There is quite a bit of knowledge to be gained from "Al" the sound guy ...
    Don't believe any one who tells you "that should hold and if it doesn't I'll fix it." if they are 1200 km's away...
    Knowing the right line through 4 and having the b#lls to ride it fast enough are two different things...
    The same applies for the braking point in 1...
    The Hanson brothers don't just play hockey...
    Smoothie is slang for I think I will just KEEP the rear brake locked...
    Shadows change everything...,
    Bumps change even more things than shadows do...
    Every line is compromise...
    B.C. is frigging HOT...
    If you start thinking about the walls on your last race on Sunday you can't go fast...
    You guys have a great track...
    I am sure more will follow...

    Really glad you enjoyed your time with us. The WCC has done wonders for having riders explore different tracks. I was just in Edmonton and loved your track, coming back next year for sure. I really hope more riders from all the clubs start making it out to explore the other Canadian tracks.

    The BC girls are HOT. You just hit an anomaly with the weather.

    Welcome! Glad you had such a good time.
    We also have the best, world class corner marshals. That is literal, our workers are highly valued at MotoGP and World Superbike, they are asked (begged) to return year after year.
    Hope to see you in September.

    A couple more things I learned...
    Yes the girls are hot especially in Langley...
    There is quite a bit of traction on concrete...
    You can feel the air buffet you if you ride too close to the wall...
    First gear is only for starts...
    Just because you are the brakes later doesn't mean you won't get out braked...
    You can't bribe the starter...
    No one slows down on the cool down lap...
    and last but not least...
    No one must want me to know how I did, since the results still aren't up.
    Seriously I had a great time and I hope to see you all in Edmonton sometime.
