the upcoming season, 1970


Westwood motorcycles always seemed to have a full schedule. Here's one presented in February 1970.

April 26, season opener
May 24, Thunderbird 100 mile production race
June 14
July 4 and 5, B.C. Championship
July 26
August 9 or 16
September 27
October 18, annual Grand Prix
(Of course the ad makes the August date wrong, who knows why.)

The president of the Westwood motorcycle club for 1970 was:
Mac Fish
Allan Seddon, vp
Mike Addison, secretary
Ron Randall, publicity

The Sports Car Club of BC's schedule was as follows:
April 5, international conference
April 12, CASC regional
May 3, international conference
May 31, CASC regional
June 28, CASC regional, COWPAC
July 19, international conference
August 2, international conference
September 2, CASC regional, COWPAC
October 11, CASC 7-hour endurance

Been trying to remember what COWPAC stood for:
Canada Oregon Washington Pacific Auto Club?

Don't quote me on that.

And what about the Karts? They must have had a schedule as well.

Westwood was a happening place.
