Nl'akapxm Eagle Motorplex

Nl'akapxm Eagle Motorplex was a ¼ mile IHRA-sanctioned dragstrip located near Ashcroft and Cache Creek, British Columbia.

[1][2] The motorplex was begun in 1980 on the Ashcroft/Cache Creek Aero Club's old airstrip by Les Edmonds, the leader of the Ashcroft Indian Band.

The name of the track, Nl'akapxm, is pronounced IN-clap-cappum; this is the local dialect variant of the native name for the Thompson nation whose territory extends from Cache Creek south to just north of Seattle.

[3] The motorplex won the NHRA Division 6 Track Of The Year Award in 1990, 1991, and 2003.

Reasons included a declining car count and numerous technical and mechanical issues that led to not only expensive repairs but difficulties in finding qualified personnel able to repair the facility.
