Ian Wood unleashes his McLaren M12 – Jim Moody photo

Updated (again): December 17, 2017

The VRCBC was invited to participate in the Grand Opening of the fabulous new Area 27 track in Oliver on June 3rd. A group of our racers did some demonstration laps and had a very enjoyable time doing it!

Our long time friends Jim Moody and Brent Martin have provided us with a lot of photos, which you can see below. (Thanks guys).

There are other photos and videos on our VRCBC Facebook page and the Area 27 Facebook page (here). And Brent has posted many more on his personal web site (here).

Gerry Frechette has published over 800(!) of his Grand Opening photos in five albums on his web site (here). Check them out!

Update: There is also an excellent video presentation of the Grand Opening on Vimeo (here).

It was a great day at a great new facility; our congratulations to everyone involved!
