Geoff Vantreight contributed a huge amount of time and effort to keep the sport of auto racing alive and well in Victoria. He sponsored two of the major annual trophy races at Western Speedway - the Daffodil Cup and the Strawberry Cup. Started in the 1960's, they are still being competed for in 1990's. Geoff also served as Speedway president for 16 years. From the early days at Western Speedway, Geoff always seemed to have cars competing at the track carrying his name as sponsor. Some years he sponsored as many as three cars during the season. Some of the drivers he has supported over the years reads Iike a Who's Who of Victoria racing: Mike Newton, AI Smith, Albert Smith, Ron Hancock, Mike Currier and three-time Daytona 500 racer Roy Smith. Geoff was also generous in his sponsorship of a number of sports teams ranging from Little League Baseball to soccer. He never said no when teams needed help and was inducted into the Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame in 1986.

From 1975 to 1984, the Vic West compiled a Canadian soccer record equaled only by the legendary New Westminster Royals dynasties of 1928 to 1936 and 1951 to 1959. While the Royals were assembled from places far and wide, Vic West matched them with a locally produced team of players that came up through the Victoria minor soccer system. Vic West won four Canadian and six B.C. championships in their nine-year golden span. Included in that run were four straight B.C. titles -- the only team to hold that distinction in the history of the Province Cup. In its time, Vic West was the dominant amateur soccer team in Canada, taking the national title in 1976, 1979, 1983 and 1984. A team with no superstars, the Wests did it with a commitment to teamwork. Team members included Steve Forslund, Frank Woods, Dan Henry, Jim De Goede, Darryl Hooker, Ralph Anderson, Gary McLaren, Tom Lavasseur, Henry Paul, Alex Stewart, Mark Crisp, Butch Foster, Garnet Moen, Greg Mellish, Jaraslav Hrasky, Lew Williams, George Fuller, Ed Dewhurst, Ken Calve, Waining Lee, Rob Williams, Tim Achtzner, Bob Duncan, John McGuire, Steve Moss, and Bob English.
