Maple Ridge resident Peter Strachan, in his #52 1972 Datsun 510, will be joining close to 100 other vintage racers from B.C., Alberta, and Washington state at the B.C. Historic Motor Races next weekend in Mission.
Mission Raceway Park will be hosting the event, as part of the Speed-Fanatics Motorsport Circuit, on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 6 and 7. The main gate opens daily at 7 a.m.
