Mission Raceway Park, also known as MRP, is an auto racing facility located in Mission, British Columbia, Canada. The facility features a ¼ mile NHRA-sanctioned dragstrip, a 2km 9-turn road course, and a 3km motocross track. It is owned and operated by the B.C. Custom Car Association, and the BCCCA operates the drag strip directly. The road course and motocross tracks are operated independently by the Sports Car Club of British Columbia (SCCBC) and the Lower Mainland Motocross Club (LMMC) respectively.Drag Strip HistoryThe BCCCA originally drag raced on unused runways at Abbotsford Airport from 1952 to 1957. The original Mission Raceway Park opened in 1965, and the facility operated until 1978 (a motocross track was added in 1973). However, MRP was shut down when the District of Mission wanted to establish an industrial park on the site. After years of negotiating and legal wrangling, the new MRP was opened on March 14, 1992, on land near the Fraser River. The drag strip was awarded a National Open by the NHRA in 1993.MRP won the NHRA Division 6 Track Of The Year Award five years in a row, from 1994 to 1998. It then won the same award three years in a row from 2005 to 2007.Road Course HistoryThe SCCBC originally road raced on unused runways at Abbotsford Airport. In 1958, the SCCBC opened the Westwood Racing Circuit, which operated until the club lost their lease in 1990. The SCCBC worked out an arrangement with the BCCCA, and in 1992 opened the River’s Edge Road Course at Mission Raceway Park. The road course was used for driver training classes during the first two years, and began full road racing operations in 1994.With our custom trip planner, Mission attractions like Mission Raceway Park can be center stage of your vacation plans, and you can find out about other attractions like it, unlike it, near it, and miles away.

Came here to support one of our friends who was racing that day. Got to walk around the pits and rest area. Seating is sparse, not much cover when it rains, and definitely needs more upkeep dollars in... more »

There is nothing like a family weekend at the racetrack especially on event weekends it is very loud very cool to see the cars and sometimes the wheelie cars that leave Flames behind them are very neat especially when the Jelly Bean truck comes and throws jelly beans and frisbees to the entire audience it is a great place to go on a summer's day if you're looking for something fun to do

Have had such a great time coming here for many years. Very inviting environment, they do a lot with the resources they have. I come here on many friday nights street legal races to race my camaro and i always bring my wife and 2 young sons along. We love the sights and sounds and exciting environment. You can get right up close to the action, check out all the amazing race cars in the pit area and talk to drivers about their cars and racing etc. I have also recently started watching a few sccbc events at the road course, and that was also an amazing experience. The road course is quite short by road course standards, but seems to have some good technical sections and offers great views of almost the whole track for the spectators. I definitely recommend coming here, no matter what type of racing you enjoy!

A great track for both novice and experienced drivers, really hard on the brakes though!!

Very nice race day experience. Mission is a cornerstone of racing in Western Canada. I had read or heard about it all my life. Being a temporary resident of Vancouver, decided to make a day at the races. The track is flat, wide and provides good traction, pretty equal in both lanes. The grandstands well situated on both sides, and on at the top end! Most impressed by the park like setting, trees, shrubs and potted plants. Everyone was amiable, easy to talk to. Highly recommended.

Theres always a great variety in events and in the cars that come out to make some passes! Excellent way to spend a Friday night
