The 2008 WCLM was jam packed with a variety of Lotus events!
OPENING REGISTRATION & RECEPTION
- We kicked off the 2008 WCLM with an opening reception where we got to see old friends and meet new fellow Lotus
enthusiasts!
SCENIC CRATER LAKE TOUR
- The weather was the big story on the Crater Lake Tour, namely fog, as in dense thick FOG! There was no lake to
be seen as it was covered in fog and rain. But, the WCLMers enjoyed the drive and stopped a some amazing falls.
RIVERSIDE BAR-B-QUE
- Ribs, Chicken, Baked Beans and lots and lots of it. Combined with a relaxing setting on banks of the Umpqua River.
A setting that can't be duplicated with a lawn full of Lotus!
WCLM AUTOCROSS
- The entire day was in search of that elusive last hundredth of a second. Heavy rain was the story of the morning, at
some points the autocross site appeared to be a giant river, but then the skies let up and the course began to dry and
the times fell. Through it all were lots of grins and giggles.
SAW MILL TOUR
- Our private tour of the C&D Lumber mill was a highlight. We were in awe of giant circular and band saws slicing through
huge logs as if they were butter.
LOTUS CONCOURS & AWARDS
- The WCLM Concours was highlighted by the presence of a Lotus Type 110! The cars were surrounded by tall evergreens that
set off the colorful array of Lotus. It was capped off by a delicious lunch of Italian Ravioli, salad and dessert!
WCLM BANQUET & SHOW
- Saturday was capped off by the WCLM Banquet that featured some delightful entrees and generous door prizes from the WCLM
sponsors. Most of the group then headed to the Seven Feathers Cabaret to be entertained by "Disco Fever", a tribute to the
70's.
WCLM TIME TRIALS (optional event)
- Before all the formal WCLM events began on Thursday, October 2nd, the WCLM featured an optional event at the Jackson County
Sports Park in White City Oregon. There we took to a tight road course track typically used for kart racing. It was fun and
challenging!
driving skills and the agility of your Lotus.
