Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame - Victoria, B. C. Canada is located on the Southern tip of Vancouver Island.
This city is very unique with its Auto Racing heritage and history. It all began at the Willows Fairgrounds in 1912 and has continuously flourished, with the exception of the war years (1941-1945).
The Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame began with a couple of racers discussing historical information and spawning the idea of recognizing the many past personalities from Vancouver Island and their racing histories. The initial meeting was held on June 19, 1984 at the Rockett residence. Attending were (L-R) Ross Rockett, Bill Smith, Ted MacKenzie, Frank Kitto and Norm Wilcox, with Barrie Goodwin photographing the moment.
From this early beginning, the Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame was formed, the first of its kind in Canada solely dedicated to the sport of Auto Racing.
The Hall of Fame has continued to grow and eventually moved next to Western Speedway
