Anybody from the Penticton/Kelowna area? My buddy (and maybe me) was planning on going down there for Peach Fest. He's trying to find some info on the racing down there, because of the altitude change, he was looking to see what he could run down there. Any info on tracks or ANYTHING in the souther Okanagan would be awesome! Thanks.
I spend a fair amount of time up there in the summer, the wife's folks have a place on the lake. The problem with racing in the OK in the summer is the raw temperatures... high 30s most of the time, except when it creeps above the 40 mark. Hell, it rarely seems to drop below 25 even at NIGHT. That will boost your intake temps quite a bit...
You can't beat the location though. Kelowna has a mall with the highest percentage of hot young ladies shopping in it that I've ever seen, and I've been all over. It beats California, Miami, Hawaii, and the Caribbean no problem. It's like post WW2 France, after all the men died in the war.
30-40 degree weather pretty much ensures they don't wear much, too. Actually, high temps are only bad for racing, every other way I can think of they are awesome. Freshwater watersports rock, too, way nicer than saltwater. Add in awesome skiing, mountain biking, fresh fruit and vegetables that are second to none, and it's a trip you'll never regret.
Cripes, I think I've got myself convinced to move there. I'll have to buy some other car to use in the winter, though.
