The August 8th – 9th weekend saw the fourth CACC-sanctioned, SCCBC-organized race event – “Hot Summer Days” – of the season at Mission Raceway Park Road Course. As usual, the Vintage racing took place on the Sunday only but there was lots of action on both days in all classes, including Open Wheel racing cars and Sports Racers, and modified production Closed Wheel sedans and sports cars. There are many tight championship points battles across all of the classes, so the action was intense!

The full weekend Race Results are available on the SCCBC web site (here). The Sunday results for both Open Wheel / Sports Racer (which includes Vintage formula cars and sports racers) and Vintage Closed Wheel are also available on this web site (here).

Our friends across the border, the Society Of Vintage Racing ENthusiasts – better known to all as SOVREN (here) – held their premier annual event, the Pacific Northwest Historics at Pacific Raceways over their July 4th holiday weekend. Many VRCBC members and friends of the Club, who often race with us at the Mission Raceway Road Course, took part.

Brent Martin was there too and has provided us with some great action photos (see below). You can see more of Brent’s photos of this and many other motorsports events on his web site (here).

The weather was almost too perfect for the SCCBC’s June Bug Race Weekend at the Mission Raceway Park Road Course. It was warm!

There was a good turn out of Vintage racers for the VRCBC REVS races. A real highlight was the appearance of Collin Jackson’s beautifully restored and very fast 1973 Brabham BT40, a well-known Formula Atlantic competitor from the past.

The Vintage Closed Wheel and the Open Wheel / Sports Racer results for the Sunday are available on this web site (here). The complete results for the weekend are available on the Race Results page on the SCCBC web site (here).

Brent Martin has again provided us with some great photos – see below. He has also posted many more photos of the weekend’s action on his web site (here).
