The annual CACC awards were presented at the 2021 Confederation of Autosport Car Clubs Fall Annual General Meeting and the Okanagan Precision Driving Association was front and centre.
Long-time autocross competitor and ODPA member Wil Dwyer took the trophy for the 2021 CACC Autoslalom Competitor of the Year. Wil has been competing in autocross events for more than a decade, placing consistently at or near the top of the field. Wil is not only a fearsome competitor but serves on the executive and is the Chief of Timing and Scoring at OPDA autocross events. Congratulations to Wil for his success in the sport and his contribution to autocross in the Okanagan.
The Okanagan Precision Driving Association was also honoured at the event with the 2021 CACC Club of the Year award for its success in the promotion of motorsport in the province. The OPDA began life in the fall of 2019 under the guidance of then-president Bruce Stevenson. Since that time the club has grown to be one of the most successful clubs in the province, boasting some 118 members and hosting 22 autocross events in 2021 under new president Wade Schmidt. Congratulations to the OPDA and its enthusiastic volunteers for the many accomplishments in the club’s short life.
The Confederation of Autosport Car Clubs is the sanctioning body for ASN Canada/FIA for the province of British Columbia. The Okanagan Precision Driving Association is a proud affiliate of the CACC.
