MRP WINS TRACK OF THE YEAR...again!

Santa Claus comes early to MRP
As another year comes to an end, the British Columbia Custom Car Association Executive Board is happy to announce a number of major improvements to the track equipment for the 2008 drag racing season.

2008 will see a brand new sweep truck purchased by BCCCA that will be on the property at all times, attending to clean ups much quicker than in the past.

"We had some major down time due to clean ups in 2007" said BCCCA president Bryan Nawyn. "Dave of Sticks n Stones has been great to us over the years, but the time has come for us to have our own equipment."

In addition to the new sweep truck, the tire dragger is being reconfigured. "The contact point was too small" said Race Director Wally Duperon. "It's being rebuilt by Glen May's crew with a larger area that will not only put down more rubber, but not wear out as quickly."

Another welcome addition will be a scraper attachment for the track Bobcat tractor that will speed up track prep as well as make life much easier for track workers.

These three new and improved pieces will supplement the jet dryer, our sweep tractor, and many other pieces of equipment, making MRP one of the best equipped drag strips on the west coast. The surface will benefit, workers will have it better, and most of all, downtime will be reduced.

Look for more changes and improvements coming soon to Mission Raceway Park, our 2008 schedule is almost complete and will be posted asap.
