The Fraser Valley’s Agassiz Speedway

Agassiz Speedway provides an exhilarating experience for people interested in racing. Visitors have the option to either watch races or participate in one themselves. The requirements for participation are owning a valid driver’s license and knowing how to drive a manual. Of course, you also have to absolve the venue of all liability.

People can race if they arrive in a group of at least four drivers. They can then rent a car and start the orientation for the race. Activities include gear fitting, walking the track and making any vehicle adjustments. They can take the car for a spin and practice driving for a few laps.

Of course, Agassiz Speedway also hosts races with experienced drivers. These competitions are what most people go to the track for. You need to be a member of Agassiz Speedway to participate in these intense races and members need to be approved by the executive team before they’re allowed to compete.

 

Where is the Raceway?

Agassiz Speedway’s address is 5405 Cemetery Road in Agassiz, BC. It’s about a 10-minute drive southwest of Harrison Hot Springs.

If coming from Vancouver, the fastest route is via the Trans-Canada Highway. Take exit 135 which merges onto Highway 9 (a.k.a. the Agassiz Rosedale Highway) which leads to Agassiz. Follow the signs. At one point you’ll have to make a slight left turn; otherwise you’ll end up on the Haig Highway by mistake.

Follow the Agassiz Rosedale Highway until you reach Agassiz. At the town, you’ll turn left onto Cheam Avenue and then right onto Evergreen Drive. Keep left and then continue back on the Agassiz Rosedale Highway. Follow it until the end of the road. At the Esso station, turn right onto Harrison Springs Road. Then turn left onto McCallum Road and then right onto Cameron Road. You’ll see signs to the venue along the way and find the speedway at the end of the road.

What to Expect

Agassiz Speedway is a place filled with lots of noise just like any other race track. Expect to see a variety of car types, although not likely ones shown on TV in Formula 1 races.

There are bleacher stands for people to sit, but it can get crowded on busy days. The speedway might not be the best place to visit for people who are sensitive to loud noises. For everyone else, though, they’ll likely have a blast! And if you or your kids are sensitive to noise, you can always take ear plugs!
