I've been to a few races over the years when it was still up and running.... great location, and lots of fun!

My brother took me when I was 10 or so, I was so excited to go. It was a very cool track and in our own back yard. Shame it was turned into housing 🙁

My favourite spot was between Deers Leap and the Hairpin It wasn't a big track so when Camaros raced it got pretty tight.

I still have a green Westwood sticker on the back bumper of my Ghia. If anyone's interested, local historian Tom Johnston did a great book on Westwood history (https://www.amazon.ca/Westwood-Everyones-Favourite-Racing-Circuit/dp/189469449X/186-2445021-5795438?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0).
