Hey Richard
A small group of us came out from Terrace to do the Bomber invitational (4cyl class); I was driving a '91 civic 4-door - freaking tough little car!.
here is a pic of the car with the current owners - back when I raced PGARA, it was blue & yellow, painted to look like the police cars from "Mad Max"
That class at PGARA was being dominated by the local wreckers. They drove like lunatics because if they trashed a car, they just went across hwy 16 to their yard, and quickly caged up another one. On the flip side, they were very generous with parts for us when we had problems. I drove in the Saturday night 100 lap main event. We arrived just about 1 hr before everything started, so we had the >8hr drive, a bit of a rest, then racing. By the time the 100 laps were over, I was so wiped out that I just sat in the car for about 10 minutes before I could climb out.
At the Terrace track the largest field I was ever in was only 15 cars and we never did night racing, so despite years of experience it was like being back in my first race.
Plus there was a few dirty racers there that would have been black-flagged out within the first few laps if they had been at our track. Still very glad to go race there tho'. Most of the folks there were fantastic.
