Biography
As a member of the B.C. Custom Car
Association since 1951, Ron was deeply involved in building Mission
Raceway, in 1965. Ron managed the track until it was sold in 1978 to the
District of Mission for an industrial park. Part of that deal gave the
club the property for a new motorsport facility and promised government
help to prepare the site. But, along the way, the politicians forgot
their promises, and Ron Farmer led the battle all the way to the
Ombudsman's office of the B.C. provincial government and to the Supreme
Court. Today, the new Mission Raceway Park is thriving. And Ron Farmer
was still managing it up until the end of '95.
