The Loafers Hot Rod Club was founded in 1957 and has been active in motorsports throughout its history. Our present membership is comprised of thirty active and enthusiastic street rod and race car hobbyists. The members come from diverse business and career backgrounds and includes several of the original founding members.

In 1988, with the experience of many successful car shows and rallies behind us, we presented the inaugural B.C. Oldtime Drags. These annual events at Mission and Ashcroft have become major Motorsport gatherings in the area, attracting up to 8,000 spectators and participants.

The financial success of these two annual race events, with the contribution from our many sponsors and race supporters, have enabled our club to undertake a scholarship program in Langley High Schools.

Club Community Involvement

We present five $500 scholarships to Automotive Shop Career Program students, which we believe are the first such awards in B.C. The schools benefitting from this program are D.W. Poppy, Walnut Grove Secondary, Aldergrove Secondary, Brookswood Secondary, and Langley Senior Secondary. We plan to continue these programs in addition to supporting the B.C. Secondary School Motorsport Association.

We also support the High School drag racing program at Mission Raceway, Eagle Motorplex in Ashcroft and North Central Motorsport Park in Prince George by furnishing all the trophies and prizes.

We are actively involved with the D.W. Poppy High School car show - a fundraiser for the school which buys computers and analyzers for their auto-shop. Participants from 20 different high schools are involved from Hope to Victoria.
