See You There: Westwood 50 this weekend!

This is your Friday reminder to top up the fluids, fix that electrical fault, and drive out to Mission, BC for this weekend’s “Westwood 50” vintage races! Fifty years ago this month, Canada’s first dedicated road race course opened near Vancouver, and provided lots of world-class racing entertainment until real estate development took over in the 90’s.  This weekend will be a show you won’t want to miss.  See you there!

Stirling Moss at Westwood

With the Westwood 50th Reunion coming up, I recently stumbled across this great video on YouTube featuring a lap of Westwood with Sterling Moss. Westwood Racing Circuit was Canada’s first purpose-built road race track, and was located in Coquitlam. Sadly, the track is long gone, but you can still see vintage cars in action, and bench race with the Westwood veterans at the River’s Edge Road Course in Mission, BC on July 17-19, 2009. See you there!
