| The Pacific Coast Mini Roadracing
Club (PCMRC) is the Lower Mainland's mini-road racing community.
The PCMRC has been in continuous existence since 1990, promoting
racing at several venues around the Fraser Valley. The club was
first created at a time when Yamaha was offering street legal 50cc
and 80cc motorcycles that could be modified for racing purposes.
These events are still ongoing in Europe (especially in the U.K.,
Spain and Italy), Japan and all over North America. The club has
expanded from these beginnings and now offers several classes utilizing
different motorcycles as authorized by the Canadian Motorcycle Association
(CMA) within the parameter of mini road-racing.
The club promotes on-pavement use of small motorcycles for fun
and entertainment. Club members range from those with limited experience
to those with significant on and off-road racing experience. Club
member's ages average in the early 30s, with individual members
currently ranging in age from 16 to 60.
The race season runs from March to October and we race rain or
shine. The PCMRC will hold multiple local races during this time,
plus as a club we will attend as many regional race weekends as
possible. On average there are 10 points races each season. We also
arrange Test & Tune sessions at the F440 Kart facilities throughout
the year for a nominal drop in fee.
The PCMRC mini-road racing is exactly like big bike racing. The
racing lines, acceleration and braking is all to scale of a full
size road courses but without the top speed. Racing a bike of these
sizes lets you go out have a great day of road-racing without the
fear of being seriously injured. There are points for each race,
and trophies will be awarded at the end of the year. It does not
take a new bike or a lot of money to be competitive in our club.
It is one of the cheapest forms of racing in the Lower Mainland.
Our club is really out to have a good time and a little bit of friendly
competition. Come on out and race!
