Fans of all ages have enjoyed auto racing here since 1954, when A.J. Cottyn opened the speedway as a half-mile dirt track. In 1982, local businessman Frank Wille took ownership, securing its status as the longest operating speedway in Western Canada. It is also home to the Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame.
