Magazine had a good Techniques web page
(now I see only a monthly column).
Where?
(On their page, "Submit" means send your query, not add to to the database of places to ski.)
U-R Dancing school, Seattle WA (with links to sites giving tips)
Baltimore-Washington DC (Hollywood Ballroom)
Limited to metal construction sets like Erector and Meccano, now on a separate page
Sports Car Club of BC
(Their site is not race car fast - seems to be too heavy with graphics files to get good acceleration.)
(Westwood sports car racing circuit is gone, but SCCBC's web site has some history,
you might try to get SCCBCs's 50th anniversary souvenir program of July 28&29, 2001, and Tom Johnston's book "Westwood - Everyone's Favourite Racing Circuit".)
Keith's Observations on Mission Raceway Park
There may be a stock car racing track further up the Fraser Valley, at Kent which is in the Aggassiz-Harrison area.
The UBC Sports Car Club has been holding autocross (gymkana/whatever you call it ) timed races at the Pitt Meadows airport east of Vancouver - in winter weather. It has low cost of entry as less driver training and car preparation are needed than other forms of racing. The skill of the drivers can be seen easily - how else could a Dodge Neon be so quick? ;-) Click here for information from the UBC Sports Car Club. And look on the track for the black 2004 Porsche G3 and the 2003 Mercedes SLK 32 AMG roadster.
