WCICS 2013/2014 Schedule!

    For those interested, here is the schedule for the 2013/2014 WCICS indoor-onroad tour in Canada. This series seems to get bigger each year, with two more venues added to this years list! The Victoria round is extremely popular with racers in the NW, as it's easily the most accessible.

.......Oh, and not to mention the well-established MINI class at each round...... (cue "halleluiah" music) Sign me up for some of that action!

For more info, and a full rulebook, go to: www.wcics.ca

This is a long-running series, put on by some great racers, so lets show them some NW love and join the fun!

(FYI, the Mini class runs a spec ORCA brushless system, available online at www.muchhobby.com out of Ontario for around $130.00, or contact Shawn at PM Hobbycraft: shawnp@pmhobbycraft.ca, as he also stocks the combo. Not a bad price for a speedo/motor, but be aware of the extra cost if you're considering the class.)
