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.

Thanks to Paul Bonner we have a great selection of photos of VRCBC members 'chasing the gobblers along The River's Edge' in the Vintage races during the SCCBC's Turkey Chase Weekend at Mission Raceway Park Road Course. The photos below have been compressed for the web site. If you are a big fan of one of these 'star' drivers or (more likely) are one of the Turkey Chasers yourself, you can get larger, high quality versions by contacting Paul Bonner directly by email at: phbonner@shaw"dot"ca

Nine of the VRCBC's best racers made the trip across the border on the Labour Day weekend to take part in the 9th Annual Columbia River Classic put on by our friends, the Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN) at Portland International Raceway (PIR). Thanks to Paul Bonner we have these photos of them in action. Thanks Paul.
