This past weekend saw the fifth - and final - CACC-sanctioned race meeting at the Mission Raceway Park Road Course for 2021.
The organizing club, the SCCBC had its usual full schedule of practice, qualifying and racing sessions for Open Wheel and Closed Wheel classes on both Saturday and Sunday. The Vintage racers were out on the Sunday for our REVS series. The full results are available on the SCCBC website (
here).
Our thanks to Brent Martin for the photos in the above 'collage' and also below. All of his excellent (as always) photos of the full weekend will soon be available on his website (
here). Make sure to check them out and order at least one of yourself (or your favourite ‘hero’ driver) in action! You can download a high resolution image for only $10.99!
See you at the track next season!

Wire wheels and wood rimmed steering wheels were the style over the CACC September 18th - 19th race weekend at the Road Course at Mission Raceway Park. The SCCBC was honouring its most senior member, Paul Lautard who was celebrating his 99th year! Paul used to race an MG TC many years ago, so some local MG enthusiasts brought out their classics to put on display in the Paddock and to also do some parade laps.
The MG TCs. TDs and TFs are generally credited with leading the rapid growth of sports cars in post war North America. They might look pretty antiquated to modern eyes but they were a lot of fun 'back in the day' and they still are! Thanks as always to Brent Martin for the great photos (below).
