and lets be honest. the number of people on this forums who actually use their cars for motorsports is negligible compared to the user base. the auto chat is just anything scraped off the web car related. the people into motorsports are not stupid enough to use revscene to find legitimate events.

The number of people interested in motorsports is negligible in most all car communities, whether import, domestic, classic, modern, exotic, or otherwise; and of those interested in motorsports even fewer would make use of a short circle track. Vancouverites who aspire to own a drift or circle track car have limited options, but this isn't California, and that's unlikely to ever change, so learn to enjoy the drive to Agassiz.
I've attended many drag racing events at Mission, and the stands are always half empty. I've attended autox events, and the number of participants is small, and this is a much more accessible activity than circle track racing. I would more strongly consider the Langley Speedway re-opening proposal were motorsports more popular but they aren't; that's why the track closed, that's why it will remain closed.
The last count shows approximately 4500 horse owners in Langley and essentially all make use of Campbell Valley, so speaking strictly on numbers, there would need to be 1400 race car owners to make a 25% time sacrifice fair. I'd be willing to bet their are less than 100 cars that could run that track in Langley.
I doubt MRP will stay open indefinitely either; almost undoubtedly, it will go the way of westwood plateau within all our times.
