BCSSMA

British Columbia Secondary School Motorsports Association

SERVICES

SAFETY

All racing is conducted at National Hot Rod Association approved tracks. Technical inspections of each vehicle that races ensures that they meet the NHRA safety guidelines. The BCSSMA encourages students to learn and enjoy racing in an environment that is a safe alternative to the street.

KNOWLEDGE

RACING

Students can race their own/parent’s vehicles and most schools also have a school race car (or cars) that students help build and maintain. Valuable mechanical, troubleshooting, and communication skills are practiced and developed through participation in a drag racing program.

Students get to participate in both Test and Tune practice runs to develop their racing skills and Elimination rounds, where they can accumulate points throughout the season. Trophies and prizes are awarded in multiple categories.

ABOUT US

ABOUT 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 30 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, 99, 01, 06 and 2019 NHRA Division 6 High School Championships.
