The Mission Raceway Park (MRP) is a motorsports complex located an hour ride away from Vancouver, in Mission, British Columbia, on the northern bank of the Fraser River, in Canada. It's been the place to go for street racing and hot rodding since the 1950's when the local government decided to support the formal development of these activities. After many years of money raising and construction, a drag strip was paved in 1965, followed by the motocross course in 1973. The 1.4-mile (2.25-km) River's Edge Road Course started operations in 1993. The local humid oceanic climate means mild summers, cool winters, and heavy rainfall during most of the year, so finding a wet track surface is very common at MRP. 

There are nine turns at Mission Raceway Park, and races start at the largest straight segment of the track, going on a counterclockwise orientation. The first corner is super tight, almost as a hairpin, and leads into another similar corner, the Greg Moore Turn, going in the opposite direction. The 60-degree turn number three comes after a short straight and allows heavy acceleration on its exit into another straightaway. The Cascade Corners are number four, five, six, a left-right-left turn combo elevating the track maneuvering difficulty. Turn number 7 consists of two parts, 7A, and 7B, followed by two fast-paced turns to close the circuit back in the begining.
