05 Sep Sixth Vintage Races of the 2023 Season
He’s back! It was great to see long time (and fast!) VRCBC racer Ian Thomas back on track. Here he is in his familiar 1970 BMW 2002 leading Jon Wright (1990 BMW E30), Gayle Baird (1991 Honda Civic) and Michael Hawthorne (1987 Porsche 944) at the Speed Fanatics Motorsport Circuit on Sunday, August 20th. – Brent Martin photo

The August 19th-20th weekend saw the ‘Race to Shade’, the SCCBC’s (CACC-sanctioned) fifth race event of the year at Speed-Fanatics Motorsport Circuit at Mission Raceway Park. As usual, the VRCBC’s IWE/REVS Vintage series points races took place on the Sunday.
Thanks again to Brent Martin for his photos (see below) of the action. All of Brent’s photos of this and many other events are available on his website (here). The complete results for the weekend, including those for Vintage, are available on the SCCBC web site (here).
The VRCBC’s next (and last for the season) Vintage races will be on Sunday, October 20th during the SCCBC’s ‘Turkey Chase‘ weekend. But before that, there will be the ICSCC (‘Conference’) race weekend at the track over the September 16th-17th weekend. There won’t be any Vintage racing but there will lots of great closed and open wheel action! Check the SCCBC Schedule web page (here) for the latest info on this event.
Spectators are always welcome! See you at the track!
