Hi there
I'm planning a trip to Vancouver this summer.

Damn never seen one in real live.

Pat

Mission Park Raceway. About 45 - hours outside of Vancouver. Very well respected track I understand.

Ah you mean 45min. to an hour out side of Vancouver right! Not 45 hours outside, cause if you do you had better be walking and if you’re driving you should have your license pulled.

I'm previously doing the tourist tour with visiting Banff, Jasper, Whistler and Victoria.
So if there are others "on the road", please let me know.

in the vancouver arean, no Mission is the only one, with Friday night 'Street Legals' the only time for the everyday person to go... u'll pay your money and get maybe 3 runs in. and, yes, they do need another track..possibly there's gonna be a 1/8 mile at boundary bay airport, but i dunno what happened to that idea (and its irrelevent for your vacation, sorry)

An 1/8th mile whos great idea was that . . . . the 1/8th is the worst part of the 1/4 by far . We need a standing mile track so we can actually have some fun.
