There were a lot of sprint cars laying dormant around the island until Norm Wilcox and Ross Rockett came up with the idea in 1995, to return these cars to their original stature.

The catchy (and fitting) name of WILROC was proposed by former super stock champion Ross Surgenor. Wilcox and Rockett had also created the popular old time stockcars in 1978 with Dave Ireland.

Their first year at Western Speedway in 2000 was a tremendous success. The opening race saw 10 cars on hand and by years end, the field had increased to 16.

With the high interest shown by the fans, WILROC continues to grow and prosper, and the co-founders see it as becoming the premier racecar class on Vancouver Island.
