I have to agree that the Canadian regional is very *good* and superbly organized. However, Steve and I were not happy at all when we were one of the 6 or 7 teams who had to have pits in the back room due to space shortage... well, the location was great (loooots of space and right next to machine shop... though that was loud) but the location also sucked because judges came by once and didn't do much in terms of spending time interviewing the teams.
Nonetheless, I've been to each Canadian Regional and I plan to make sure the teams keeps going every year it is in existence
Yeah... we do need a Canadian championship event... our town's so Canadian (not to reiterate Steve's point of bad drivers

)
