Default World of Wheels


If you show up at the World of Wheels (http://www.autorama.com/casi/calgary.htm), I think my car will be one of the ones on display, complete with summer tires. I hope the weather will be good, or I am in a world of hurt for changing tires as well as washing/detailing the car while down there. Also, I'll have my racing simulation cockpit set up, so you can autocross or rally in comfort

I think the organizers want to show the range of daily drivers that are used for racing. We'll see how the display turns out, but I assume I'll be down there detailing my car for a few days,

I'll see you there!

I think you'll be able to get away with summer tires at that point. I just wouldn't try to track it then

Looks like I won't be at World of Wheels this year. See the last few posts in this thread:

Well that's disappointing, I can imagine you're pretty frustrated, to say the least.

I was looking forward to seeing a fellow S there. I guess there will probably be some others, but the fact that they cut the numbers is really weak.

So I went there on Saturday and wasn't overly impressed, most likely because I had different expectations. If I have to see another 70's Camaro I'm going to kick myself in the groin. There was 1 S there with a full J's kit, CF doors, bride seats, S/C.

Over 95% of the show was cars of model years 1930-1985 so my expectation of newer cars was way off.
