2019 Race Schedule

*** April 6th Western Speedway – Youth Races begin at 12-noon, with the VCL Races starting around 2:00PM (1-hour earlier than noted in the document below).

**April 23rd Sidney TT – Start Time 6:30, not 7:00 as listed below.

Without further adieu, here is the mostly final version of the 2019 VCL Race Schedule. We have a few things that still require final confirmation, but, we are mostly there. We have made note in the schedule of some key local events, however, the list of races is not exhaustive.

To come are details on the 2019 Season Launch / 2018 Season Wrap Party. Expect more news on this in the coming weeks.

You will notice the return of the Observatory Hill Climb, we are very happy to have this back on the calendar – we hope to see a large contingent of racers (large and small 😉 ).

Also, note the return of Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit, as well as the AirForce Crit, out at 443 Squadron – 12 Wing facility. Both very exciting in their own right.

Hopefully you are already into your 2019 training program, and the ill effects of the off-season and Snowmaggedon2019 are being addressed and worked-off.

See you soon,

Schedule Change – Observatory Cancelled/Delayed

Due to circumstances beyond our control, next weekend’s Observatory Hill-Climb has been cancelled. A new transformer is being installed on the mountain that weekend, and we were unable to coordinate an alternate date. Communication with management has been reestablished, after years off the schedule, and the event will return, just not right now.

Stay tuned, perhaps we will be able to swing something later in the summer, or in the fall as a one-off pain cave event.

In the meantime, for those pain-seekers, we will see you tonight at Newton Heights!!

Speedway May 16th – Start Time
