Updated April 30, 2012: Thanks to Paul Bonner and Brent Martin for the additional photos.

The SCCBC hosted two full days of CACC-sanctioned racing at Mission Raceway Park Road Course on April 14th and 15th. The SCCBC named the weekend 'Robert Remembered' in memory of Robert Currie, who sadly passed away in February.

The first VRCBC REVS races of the 2012 season were held on the Sunday. It was great to see some new faces (see the photos below) and there was some excellent competition throughout the field in both afternoon races. The complete Vintage results are posted under the Race Results menu and are also available directly here.

The next REVS races will be during the May 12th - 13th 'Mother's Day Special' weekend. This will be a special double for us, with a Vintage qualifying session and two races on each of the Saturday and the Sunday.

Update: The Final Results are now available here.

The Thanksgiving weekend 'Turkey Chase' was the Sports Car Club of BC's last event of the 2011 race season at Mission Raceway Park Road Course. The VRCBC's own Vintage racers were out on Sunday, doing their part to run down any stray gobblers that happened to also be 'racing along the River's Edge'.

It is very easy to see from these photos - a big thank you to Karen Gibbons - why Vintage road racing is popular with so many. Vintage racing cars cover the whole spectrum of type, size, age and potential performance on the track. It is this variety that makes it so much fun for everyone. The cars really are the stars.

The weather was perfect and the racing was excellent. It was a great way to end the VRCBC season. Thank you to our hosts - the SCCBC.
