If you use the coordinates N49 18 35, W122 47 08 in Google Earth you can see the site.
There is a band of undeveloped land that contains most of turn three and half of the back straight up to deer's leap (the top right hand portion of the track in the photo) that remain, overgrown.

And this from Glen Hartley (don't know if he's related to Brendon), Golf Event Manager at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club...we hope to have a tour of the site of the former track as part of our Westwood reunion next July:

"...From what I have been told, the old finish line runs right down the 18th fairway in front of the Country Club Clubhouse...I have attached a map of where the two facilities are in relation to the race track (pardon the penmanship)..."



The "two facilities" he refers to are the Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club and the Westwood Plateau Golf Academy. We plan on golfing at the Academy before the tour of the Golf and Country Club. More here:

One of these days, I hope to read of a golf course or housing development being torn up...to build a race track!
