The website is still active:

but I'm guessing that nothing will happen in the next number of years until they can come up with the brazillion dollars they would need.

like usuall.... everybodies got big plans.... but no money or financial backers....
THIS TRACK WILL NEVER BE BUILT.... i have been hearing about this for almost 6 years now.
i say...put a pool together... do heavy campainging... start running some girls and selling crack and weed and then maybe if we are lucky and our syndicate doesnt get busted maybe JUST maybe... we can get our own track in 10 years!!

Have you ever been around Merrit? Oh well, maybe Comox will get a speed skating oval or something. No winter Olympics for Ontario!

...you can afford to race!
It would be nice to see a decent track. I may be able to watch my son race by the time the west coast can support a class track.

Merrit rears it's ugly head again......
Although I applaud the efforts of those whish full thinkers involved I'll be old and racing vintage before we see a change of venue from Mission. My advice to those that think otherwise is to have their asses checked. All the smoke we've seen blown up their ass surely must have caused rectal cancer by now....

It's deader than a doornail.
The main page is now completely blank, and the resort main page is saying project under review which means they're reviewing even selling condos.
I spoke at length with the owner of Stratotech park in Edmonton who was approached to be an investor and he wouldn't touch the project with "your" ten foot pole. In his opinion the track layout was far too dangerous and the dollars involved to make it safe enough to attract anything other than local daredevils would have been too much for the project to bear. Apparently the layout included such things as a warehouse sized rock in the runoff area at the end of the fastest straightaway (that they wanted to keep) and numerous corners with little to no run-off and 150' cliffs. After his description of the track I rethought my position on Mission being too dangerous. Sounded hairy to say the least, and he knows how to build a track right. He had even brought in the same consultants he used when he built his track and they told him to walk away and save his dough.

·it was going to be a great track when it was first envisioned...
3/4 mile oval, road course using up the majority of the oval, kart track, grandstands...
oh well. reality bites again.
