Shore drivers hit new raceway AFTER A four-year abscence, road racing returned to British Columbia, last weekend in Mission. By Marc Rovner Contributing Writer The Sports Car Club of B.C. (SCCBC) held its grand opening at the recently completed Mission Raceway Park. The new track is 1.1 miles (1.8 km) long and twists through seven turns. The road course also boasts a half-rnile (0.8 km) straightaway. The track is just once part of the new multi-sport facility that includes a drag-racing strip, a road course, a moto-cross track and a drag-boat racing area. Last weekend's inaugural event attracted over 150 racers from as far away as Oregon. SCCBC presi- dent Pam Reynolds, described the event as a roaring success. “After two years of work by a small but committed group of vol- unteers, it was very gratifying to see so many cars show up for the event,” Reynolds said following the weekend of racing. The SCCBC has been organiz- ing similar racing events since 1951, and is a vocal supporter of safe road conduct. In 1990, the club’s lease at Westwood raceway expired, leav- ing Lower Mainland motor racing enthusiasts with no place to go. A deal struck between the Molson Indy and the SCCBC, how- ever, helped the Mission raceway course become a reality. For the past few Indy Vancouver races, the sedan category has been supported by the car club. Funds raised were channelled to support the building of the Mission facility. North Shore raceérs fared well at the last weekend’s events. Rob Mingay. driving a Swift sports racer sponsored by North Vancouver Petro-Canada, placed first in his class and second overall. RX Autoworks’ driver lan Davey was second in his class and third overall. West Vancouver racer Mike Shivers, driving an cpen- wheel Formula Vee, also placed second in his class. John Gercsak, also from West Van, had difficulty keeping his Dundarave Motors-sponsored racer within the 95 decibel level, and fin- ished a disappointing seventh over- all. North Van's John Beaudoin set the fastest lap for his class en route to a second place overall finish in the sedan class. For details about the SCCBC, call 268-9555.
