Car Raceway in Mission

Mission Raceway Park is a motorsport racing facility that hosts many popular races and events in Mission for the public to enjoy.

The venue’s original location opened in 1965. It was used mainly by the B.C Custom Car Association, which was one of the first custom car clubs in Canada. The Raceway Park relocated to its current property in 1992, after the city forced it to switch locations. It’s been open there ever since.

Mission Raceway Park is home to a variety of races. The most popular events today are drag racing and motocross racing. The facility’s drag racing strip is about 0.4 km long. The regular racing track, meanwhile, is about 2 km long while the motocross track is 3 km long.

Events at Mission Raceway Park

In 2024, the facility scheduled over 70 races, with the vast majority of them happening from April to September. Not every race takes place, however. Sometimes the events are rained out or cancelled for other reasons.

2024 events include the BCCCA Memorial Show & Shine on August 10th, and the Farmer Memorial Mission Finals from September 20th to 22nd.

There’s also the Drive 4 Smiles fundraising event that takes place in the summer.
