The Knox Mountain records show that John Haftner, of New Westminster, first started racing at Knox Mountain in 1972. He's won it a few times since his start in a dune buggy. And, to this point, holds the quickest time up the mountain -- 1:37.065 for the 3.5 km (2.2 miles) climb.
He also raced solo gymkhanas at various locations in the lower mainland. One year, 1974, he had fast time of the day for a national solo event. Clubs ran events across Canada on the same layout and the times were recorded as if they were all in one location. Like I say John was number one. Not sure if he repeated that or not.
Here is one of his more recent runs up Knox Mountain.
