Episode: 069 Collision Course
Scene: Westwood Springs Race Course

Coquitlam, BC
Unfortunately this track was closed in 1990 to make way for the Westwood Plateau housing development and Golf & Country Club respectively.
The final race ever run on the track was a seven hour endurance race held on October 8, 1990. The race was won by brothers Ross and Gord Bentley, who went down in history as Westwood’s final winners.
As you can see in the then and now photos below, the area is still fairly recognizable and pretty easy to see where the track used to be.
The track was a 1.800 mi (2.897 km) 8-turn track located on the slopes of Eagle Mountain (known locally as Eagle Ridge).
