Back in the day that event was the talk of the town. An old abandoned airstrip on the outskirts of Vancouver, British Columbia. Surrounded by farmland and pretty much sea level. A dedicated group of enthusiasts formed what was back then the Canadian Hot Rod Association , this is where the limited racing action took place. It must have taken some good talking to have such a professional cigar packing appearance or maybe just being at sea level and 3 hours North of the 1975 Seattle Fall Nationals. Several attempts were made for Boundary Bay to become a real dragstrip, but politics always intervened. Those memories live and today that airstrip and surroundings still remain the perfect place to have a dragstrip.
