Sports Car Club of BC
** This year is the 50th anniversary of Westwood Racing Circuit. Information on events July 17, 18, 19 2009 including vintage car races and demos is here. **
(Westwood sports car racing circuit is gone, but SCCBC's web site has some history,
you might try to get SCCBCs's 50th anniversary souvenir program of July 28&29, 2001, and Tom Johnston's book "Westwood - Everyone's Favourite Racing Circuit".)
Keith's Observations on Mission Raceway Park
There may be a stock car racing track further up the Fraser Valley, at Kent B.C. which is in the Aggassiz-Harrison area.
I understand that Langley [B.C.] Speedway is intact and there is an active effort to restart operations under "heritage park" status.
The UBC Sports Car Club has been holding autocross (gymkana/whatever you call it ) timed races at the Pitt Meadows airport east of Vancouver - in winter weather. It has low cost of entry as less driver training and car preparation are needed than other forms of racing. The skill of the drivers can be seen easily - how else could a Dodge Neon be so quick? ;-) Click here for information from the UBC Sports Car Club. And look on the track for the black 2004 Porsche G3 and the 2003 Mercedes SLK 32 AMG roadster.
