Thanks Marc!

However, perhaps I wasn't clear enough.  Those weren't suggestions on places
to go see, although they are very beautiful.

Those are the sites we'd want for the Concours and Car Display!  If the
Deuce club can do it, why couldn't we?  It IS an International Convention
after all!

Autocross would be 15 minutes away at Western Speedway
http://www.westernspeedway.net/facility.htm

Perhaps the NECC time trials could be at Pacific Raceways in Kent WA
http://www.pacificraceways.com/

or at Mission Raceway on the mainland

You never know, eh!

Having never been to Canada I would make an extra effort to go and see the
many places you suggest
