Start making your plans to race at one of the fastest tracks in all of North America. It’s time to block your vacation plans right now for September 3rd thru 5th, 2010, when we plan to take 56 racers to the famed Mission Raceway Park in Mission, British Columbia. “Revin’ for Seven” will be Team Firebird’s slogan next season when we attempt to sweep a third straight and seventh overall team championship in Canada.

As most will attest, Mission is “outer-space” quick. Quick as in jaw-dropping elapsed times and speeds, as the track sits a few feet above sea level right on the Fraser River. The setting is spectacular and the air can be extraordinary, especially in the Fall time of year.

Best of all and thanks largely to our first place finish at Woodburn this past September, all Firebird racers will park in Mission’s most desirable pit area at next year’s race (a right of the reigning team champs).

Many of you have already obtained a passport to travel out of country, but for those of you who have been looking for a reason to get one—here’s the motivator to run down and secure one.  Bear in mind, you can’t pick up a passport in a day or two, it takes time for all the processing and paper work. Don’t procrastinate; act soon, so this aspect of your trip gets taken care of early.

Mark your calendars today for:

Event: Division 6 Summit E.T. Finals
2010 Venue: Mission Raceway Park, Mission, British Columbia
Dates: Thurs. – Sun., September 2-5, 2010
Firebird Slogan: Firebird’s “Revin’ for Seven!”

We know most of you will plan to camp at the track, but those who want to secure a hotel room early, here’s our recommendation. The Best Western Mission City Lodge is one (yes!), one mile from the track and is a very nice property. You can contact them direct to secure a discounted Mission race track rate by calling (604) 820-5500. Don’t wait too long to make a reservation, `cause they have less than 100 rooms to fill (and we know these will go rapidly).

Looking ahead to 2010, we’re already planning to take the 56 toughest racers in the history of Firebird to try and pull off a 7th team championship. Make plans today to be a part of the trek to Canada next Labor Day weekend.
