Westwood
Stolen from another site(sorry, but I thought it was cool!):
Tucked high on a mountain in Coquitlam BC, a Vancouver suburb, was a modest yet challenging race circuit named Westwood. Built in 1959 with financing by members of the Sports Car Club of British Columbia, it was Canada's first purpose-built road course. Featuring an entertaining variety of turns and hilly sections Westwood attracted some of the finest drivers from the Pacific Northwest along with a number of international stars. Gilles Villeneuve, Keke Rosberg, Bobby Rahal, Alan Berg and Michael Andretti were among them, and even the great Sir Stirling Moss made an appearance.
