This past weekend saw the second CACC-sanctioned race meeting at the Mission Raceway Park Road Course for 2021. It was great to welcome spectators back! The weather was almost perfect – it was a little warm though!

The organizing club, the SCCBC had its usual full schedule of practice, qualifying and racing sessions for Open Wheel and Closed Wheel classes on both Saturday and Sunday. The Vintage racers were out on the Sunday for our REVS series. The full results are available on the SCCBC website (here).

Our thanks to Brent Martin for the photos. All of his excellent (as always) photos of the full weekend will soon be available on his website (here). Make sure to check them out and order at least one of yourself (or your favourite ‘hero’ driver) in action!

The Vintage racers will be back on track during the CACC #3 race weekend on September 18th and 19th. However, there will be more great road racing action at Mission before that. The ICSCC (‘Conference’) will be holding its big annual event at the track over the Labour Day weekend. See the SCCBC website (here) for more information as the date approaches.

See you at the track!

See you at the 2022 BCHMR! – Brent Martin photo

It is with great sadness and frustration that the VRCBC had to cancel the BCHMR for 2021. The Club thanks all those racers and volunteers who did register with a special thank you to our friends from SOVREN who supported us once again. However, we didn’t get the required absolute minimum 40 Canadian entrants we needed to make a go of it.

The BCHMR committee ultimately felt we would be better off keeping our ‘war chest’ intact to put on a bigger and better show next year, when we can get all our ducks in a row, and adequately advertise our event without worry about conforming to COVID protocols and possible uncertain restrictions.

Unfortunately, no spectators were permitted this weekend because of the current Covid restrictions. However, we are all hopeful that this situation will improve as the summer proceeds and we will see you at the track!

Frank Micucci of Driver’s Edge Autosport draws the winning name and the winner ‘Rocket Ralphie’ Zbarsky shows off the goodies he chose from Frank’s wide selection of motorsport products.

Last month the Club distributed an online questionnaire to a large number of current and previous members, BCHMR entrants, and other friends and associates. The objective of this survey was to gather data and opinions that would help the incoming 2021 executive make improvements to the Club’s future racing events and organization in general. The overall response was very gratifying. Our survey team then prepared a report (PDF here), which consolidates the results and also summarizes their conclusions from them.

 

As a thank you for those responding to the survey, the Club offered free entry to a draw for a $100 gift certificate at our long time supporter, Driver’s Edge Autosport . Frank Micucci of Driver’s Edge drew the winner’s name  – veteran Vintage racer Ralph (aka Rocket Ralphie) Zbarsky. Ralph recently picked up a bundle of goodies at Driver’s Edge.

 

Thanks to everyone who participated and to the Club members who initiated and organized this survey.
