Facilities: No garbage collection, clean up after yourselves and your pitting areas. No excuses.
Bring your own tables, chairs and canopies. There may be some canopy space for those without.
No washrooms trackside. BCIT Buildings may have washrooms available. There is also a McDonalds 1 minute away.
Parking charge is NOT included with race entries.
We encourage those with generators to bring them and plan with a few members to share costs.
There is shared power available with the club generator, but not quite enough for everyone to tap in.

$Free Third class
$30 Out-Of-Towers Flat Rate (Outside of Metro Vancouver)
$10 teardown fee given to racers that help from start to finish of teardown.

Parking Lot Rental, Insurance, generator, blower maintenance, fuel, and pop are still our main costs.
We are continuing to save for capital replacement of storage and transport.
Club funds are used for preparations, hosting, racing, insurance, track materials, and parking charges. If you would like to inquire about our finances, please speak with us.
Rainouts:
Race day cancellations will be on Friday morning. No plans to reschedule as we have added extra race dates to compensate for this. Rare, last minute changes to a Sunday will be announced as soon as possible.
Volunteering:
The club executive members do this for everyone, and we need the help of everyone to keep going strong.
We are looking to train new club members for:
-Friday night lot preparation
-Race Announcing Helpers
-Social Media Engagement
Please reach out if you are looking to step up for the club.
Thank you to the organizing members of RRR for putting in countless hours of hard work and planning.
Thank you to the many setup and teardown helpers that continue to make this worthwhile for the organizers.
See you trackside.
