The VRCBC had to hold our BC Historic Motor Races in May this year, much earlier than our usual August date. Nevertheless, the weather (fortunately) cooperated and a good time was had by all. The BCHMR was the second race in our IWE/REVS points series for 2023.

The full story with Brent Martin’s photos, is on our dedicated BCHMR web site (here).
