If you have time, go through Banff, then Jasper (stay at the Jasper Park Lodge) and continue into Edmonton. HWY93 from Banff to Jasper is a great drive in any car.

 

Cool I might take that way back to LA.. and looks like I am taking off on Wedsneday and be in Edmonton by Friday or Sat.. depending on my pace! and would love to chill if time permits!

 

Would be awesome to see some pics along the way no matter which way you choose. At some point you have to cross the mountains and are gauranteed some great roads / scenery along the way!

 

THIS Friday or Sat? The Edmonton Indy is this weekend. There's going to be TONS of cool car events, driver's parties, cool cars in town etc. BIG FUN!!!

 

weather is shaping up to be nice this weekend as well, which will be much appreciated after the straight week of heavy rainfall we just had =/

 

Yup will posting some pics up if they turn out any good

If I can drive 10+ hrs each day I figure I might make it to edmonton by friday night if not then it probably be Sat. And wow where is the Indy held and whats admission like

Hope it doesnt rain while I am there hehe.. I will try to bring over some cali sunny love

 

I hope this link is OK with the mods here. http://www.hondaindyedmonton.com/

Should be tickets still available. The race is held on the City Center Airport, with a pretty cool road course set up on it. Good views, good racing and lots of entertainment. It's not F1, but it's right here in town.

 

Thanks! The Indy was fun as my bro in law had some tickets will post up some pics

997C2S Happy in Edmonton!

 

Looks GREAT!!! What a fun drive. How much longer you staying in town? And what's your planned route home?

 

Thanks my wife took the pics! And we probably chill in Edmonton for another week or so as I needed to recover from driving 17 straight hrs the second into edmonton hahaha. I havent planned it yet but I think I am going to take 4-5 days instead of 2 days to go home... any suggestions be great!

 

Question: Where can I find some high octane gas here??

 

My understanding is that we don't have quite as high of octane fuel in these parts vs. the US. Octane wise Husky or Mohawk sells 94 I believe but it contains ethanol. You'll be fine on Shell or Esso premium (91 or 92)though. Unless you were looking for race gas for a specific reason and not just for normal fills?

Anyway - great pics! Appreciate you posting and glad the trip went well.

If you are taking your time on the way home, for sure head west towards Jasper and then south towards Banff/Lake Louise and take the TransCanada through the mountains towards the coast. Pretty spectacular drive.

 

Thanks for the info, I just didnt know which fuel was better because in the states, Arco really sucks, so I figure there must be some brand of gas thats better than the other, the Shell near where we are staying seems to only have 89 octane... hence I didnt know where I might be able to get 91+

Yes I plan to take it easy driving home so yes going thru Jasper might be an option!! Thanks for the tip!

 

Hey nicegsxr, if you're still in town tomorrow, you should join us for the "new ferrari owner" drive. See the thread in this forum. Don't know who's coming yet, but it should be a hoot.
