SOVREN, our Vintage racing 'cousins' from south of the border held a big race event over the June 29-30 weekend at Pacific Raceways in Seattle. This was their 36th running of the Pacific Northwest Historics. You can read all about SOVREN (aka Society for Vintage Racing Enthusiasts) and their events on their website (here). A number of VRCBC members and other 'northerners' took part and did well. The full results are posted on Race Hero (here).
Our intrepid photographer Brent Martin was there also and provided us with the photos below. Thanks Brent! He has posted many more of his photos of all of the PNW Historics competitors on his website (here).
We look forward to welcoming many of the SOVREN racers and their crews to our BC Historic Motor Races in August.
