Island Challenge 2006

The 2006 Island Challenge was hosted by the Victoria Chapter. The tour committee, chaired by Bill Bouchard, did a terrific job of putting on a scenic and entertaining weekend. The tour was open to cars built prior to 1928 and over 20 over them participated. The oldest car was Dave Proctor's 1910 REO, a regular on these events.

The Saturday morning drive departed Sydney and followed a scenic route around the Saanich peninsula. The windy, narrow backroads drew everyone's thoughts back to an earlier era of motoring. Several steep hills provided an adequate challenge (low gear for some of the older cars) but there were no casualties.

Lunch was provided at the Salvation Army Citadel in Victoria and the day ended at the B.C. Aviation Museum. The evening banquet wrapped up a most enjoyable day.

For those who were able to stay over, the Victoria Chapter's annual corn roast was held the next day. It was another chance to visit, enjoy the food, and swap car tales.

Thanks to Bill and his committee - Jane Thomas, Heinz Mueller, Pete Seward, Paul Taylor, and Liz Taylor -for the hard work they put in to making this weekend work. It all paid off!

This event will be hosted in Campbell River next September - Mark your calendar now and plan to attend.
