hey guys i'm moving from fort st john (north eastern bc) for school and work probably septemberish and i was just wondering if there is any race tracks or anything of that sort in the area? also does anyone know about any rally racing in the area that i can enter? i just finished my 88 civic rally car build not too long ago and i was hoping there would be something close when i move there, any help is appreciated

 

The only race track that I know of is Mission Raceway, which has a dragstrip and a small road course (I think about a mile long). There are occasional driving days on the road course, and the drag strip is open to the public on a regular basis in the summertime. Don't know of any rally courses.

 

Mission race way is the primary track used for motorsports in the lower mainland. It's about an hour out of town.

VCMC is probably one of the biggest autocross/motorsport clubs in the Vancouver Area. They have a good website where their forums allow people to network.

Hope that helps, and welcome to BC

 

thanks for the site link! i honestly had no idea there were any road courses in bc, i thought you had to travel to washington so thats a relief. and thanks for the welcome to bc but i've been here for almost 14 yeats now :P just in the northern part, oil country! lol hopefully ill get to meet some of you one of these days at a local show when i move down!

 

We'll be more than happy to greet you~ Maybe you can teach us some winter driving skills by the time you come down~ LOL

 

Give us a shout when you come down to Vancouver!

I learned that there's a rally shop in squamish that tunes/mods Subarus.

 

lol yeah i heard about all the snow you guys got, what was it like 2 feet? we have a little less than that but its been down in the -40's for a while now, ill trade ya

 

you're already in BC, so you probably know about: RallyBC Home

There are no real rally events in the GVRD for obvious reasons, but I seem to remember my friends entering events in Vancouver Island.

Closest local track is mission raceway: The Internet home of Mission Raceway Park, and the SCCBC: The Sports Car Club of British Columbia Official Website (SCCBC) holds regulat events there. Otherwise, there's autocross events often locally. in which case clubs like VCMC mentioned earlier will offer good info.

go further down south into the States and there's: Pacific Raceways - Where The Excitement Is Accelerating! near Seattle, and Portland Raceway - Official Home Page - Events this week at PIR in Oregon which I quite enjoyed when I went for a 2 day Quattro club event years ago.

 

i have heard of rally bc, and thanks for all the info, really helpful

 

Hey, welcome to Vancouver and hope we get a chance to greet you in person during a group meet/drive sometime this summer.
