This was the second IWE-REVS points event for 2024 for VRCBC members.   Thankfully, although the skies were mostly grey, it did stay dry, unlike our very wet first race weekend. The Vintage results are available on this website under Race Results (here) and the full weekend results are available on the SCCBC website (here) . Brent Martin took his usual great photos of the on-track action. You can see some of them below and the rest on his website (here).   Our Vintage races are part of full weekends of road racing organized by the Sports Car Club of BC (SCCBC) and sanctioned by the Confederation of Autosport Car Clubs (CACC). Check out the full season schedule on the SCCBC website Schedule page (here).  The next Vintage races will be on the Sunday of the SCCBC 'Dog Days of Racing' event during the July 20-21 weekend.  Registration is already open on MotorsportReg.com:

Our regular Vintage racers were joined by several 'special guests' on the Sunday. There were some excellent battles and everyone had a lot of fun - which is what Vintage racing is really all about. The complete results for the weekend are posted on the SCCBC web site (here). And as always, thanks to Brent Martin for the photos (see below) of the action. Registration for the next (and last scheduled) SCCBC / CACC race weekend ('That's Fall Folks') is already open. Check the Schedule page on the SCCBC web site (here) for full information.

The April 21st-22nd weekend was a very busy one for the VRCBC. Some members were 'working' our display at the BC Classic & Custom Car Show in Abbotsford, while everybody else was 'playing' at the race track!

The 2018 race season at Mission Raceway Park Road Course began under sunny skies with the first Sports Car Club of BC (SCCBC) event, sanctioned by the CACC. As usual, our Vintage REVS series races were held on the Sunday. The Vintage results are available here; the complete results for the weekend are available on the SCCBC web site (here).

And now that spring has finally arrived, it's time to get that grass cut, as VRCBC Vice President Paul Haym so ably demonstrated with his highly efficient Datsun 510 'mower' in Turn 5!

(Thanks Brent.) The rest of Brent's photos of the whole weekend of racing are now posted on his website (here).

[caption id="attachment_13618" align="aligncenter" width="450"] Everybody was heading for the 2018 Vancouver International Auto Show! - Brent Martin photo[/caption] Updated: April 24, 2018

Our local motorsport sanctioning body, the CACC secured a  very high profile space at the Vancouver International Auto Show for its member clubs and other BC motorsport groups to display their cars, clubs and events. The show was held at the Vancouver Convention Centre at Canada Place.

The CACC's objective was to showcase all facets of our sport in BC, including Slalom, Hill Climb, Time Attack, Ice Race, Road Race and (our own favourite of course!) Vintage. This year's big display included many specially selected (including three Vintage) competition cars, video footage, club schedules and brochures, and other promotional material.

A special focus this year was to show visitors how they can be involved in all of the action and have a lot of fun, without having to actually race a car. They can volunteer and be trained for flagging, communications, timing and scoring, and many other key positions.

  Some of Brent Martin's photos of the VRCBC moving in their cars on Sunday, March 25th. Good fun!
