ABOUT THE BCSSMA:
The British Columbia Secondary School Motorsport
Association (BCSSMA) was incorporated under the Society Act in the spring of
1992, by a group of Greater Vancouver secondary school Technical Studies
teachers, along with one Science teacher. The goals of the BCSSMA are to
encourage high school completion and responsible living and character
development by the students' involvement in motorsport competition.
Through the activities of the Association, students are taught that auto racing
can be done in a safe and responsible manner. The BCSSMA has experienced
continual growth since its inception.
The BCSSMA's program is unique to high school drag racing since the secondary
schools are directly involved. Although the real emphasis is on getting
students out in their own cars, of the over 60 high schools currently holding
membership in the Association, many have competing cars that are maintained and
driven by their Automotive Program Students. B.C.'s "student"
drivers have won the 1991, 92, 95, 96 and 99 Division Six High School
Championships.
