So a beginning on Mission. This from the first race (miss identified as September 29th when it was actually August 29th) from the September 1st, 1965 issue of Road and Motorsport in BC.

Story from the summer of 1971. Mission. The headline is about Twig Ziegler. He sometimes makes it up to Abbotsford for the Tradex show. And to the new Mission for the nostalgia funny car meet.
