2008 NEWS AND EVENTS

2008 Haywood Yaletown Grand Prix

We’re roughly a month away from the 2008 Haywood Yaletown Grand Prix which this year will be event #5 in the BC Cup. We are well underway with our planning for the event and given that Canada Day does not fall on a long weekend this year, we expect to see our biggest crowds yet.

As anyone who has been there knows, expo and street space is at a premium, so proper planning for our expo and team area is essential. If your team plans to have a vehicle, tent, or trailer set up at this year’s Yaletown Grand Prix, please email me to confirm the nature and approximate dimensions of your rig. We will be building a Team Alley/Expo plan and pre-assigning space. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you let us know in advance so that we can accommodate you and build you into our load-in schedule. We expect to have 20,000 spectators visit the race during the day, so this is one of the best opportunities you will have all year to promote your co-sponsors and partners. If any of them wish to have expo space, please have them contact me directly for more information.

Given the nature of our course, we have field limits in place, so please encourage your riders to register early to avoid disappointment. Our early bird fee of $35 is in place until June 24th as which point it will go up to $45. Rider should note that is one small change to our event this year in that our Masters event is now 30+ years to line up with BC Cup regulations.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
