The VRCBC, SCCBC and the Westwood 50 organizations have created an opportunity for “airing out” former Westwood race cars (& their owners) @ the VRC Historic Motor Races July 17,18,19 2009.

Group 8 will provide track time for pre 1990 cars, either street cars or cars eligible to have raced at Westwood. As Group 8 will be a lapping group, the usual licensing and tech / rollbar requirements will not need to be met. See more info at www.asncanada.com “SoloSport”. Entrants will receive full event privileges including 3 days of track sessions, “goodie” bag, BBQ at the track tickets etc. For Westwood50 Banquet tickets, see the web site for details.

Tony Morris Jr of Morrisports will coordinate and the Group will operate on a “point to pass” basis at select locations on the track. It will not be a race group but rather an opportunity for Westwood era race
and street cars to be exercised at this weekend which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first Westwood race.

Please enter as early as possible as the Race Committee will have to vet all entries and there will be a limit on the number of cars the track can accommodate. Sorry no open wheel cars.

Send your entry, photograph(s), and a complete history of the car. We are hoping this will be an interesting event for all who participate and for all those present at this historic weekend.

The Westwood50 organizing committee in conjunction with The Sports Car Club of British Columbia and the Vintage Racing Club of British Columbia announces an event to recall and celebrate the legendary and much missed Westwood Racing Circuit. Westwood held its first race on opening day July 26, 1959 – fifty years ago.

The celebration event will consist of a special three day running of the Vintage Club’s annual Historic Motor Races, as well SCCBC special Races and a variety of social events and displays of cars with Westwood history and other memorabilia. A reunion gala dinner is planned for the Saturday evening.

The event will run on the weekend of July 17, 18 and 19, 2009 at the River’s Edge Road Course at Mission Raceway Park in the Vancouver suburb of Mission, British Columbia.

Westwood50 will be a significant and memorable event for all motor sport enthusiasts.

Westwood Racing Circuit, located in the Vancouver, British Columbia suburb of Coquitlam, was Canada’s first purpose-built automobile road racing track. The history of the track is inextricably intertwined with the history of the Sports Car Club of British Columbia, the group that built the track and operated it over its life of 32 seasons. Because it was built and operated by a club, the circuit had a very different personality than most racetracks. It was a real “people place” — families grew up there.
