Belt Sander Racers vie for victory in Vancouver
McKillican Vancouver open house to feature belt sander races

SANTE FE SPRINGS, CALIF. ?Accuride International and the Belt Sander Racing Association (BSRA) are planning for full-throttle fun at a belt sander race set for September 15, 2011, at the McKillican Vancouver Grand Event. The planned festivities will be held from 1 pm to 4 pm at 20233-100A Avenue, Langley, British Columbia. The Vancouver Grand Event will celebrate the grand opening of McKillican’s new showroom; and, will feature representatives from a host of key suppliers who will answer questions and offer expert advice.


Meanwhile, race entrants will vie for trophies with souped-up and stock belt sanders designed to roar down a 75-foot wooden track. Complete with Christmas-tree starting signals, the sawdust—and sanders—really flies on this track, as racers aggressively compete for the fastest times. In addition to first, second, and third place trophies, a special Judge’s Award will be presented. 

Racers are encouraged to register right away to reserve a space in the competition. To learn more about the BSRA, or to register for the event, visit www.accuride.com/BSRA. For more information about the McKillican Vancouver Grand Event, contact Dean Favaro by e-mail at [email protected].
