Our Vintage racers were on track during the Sunday of the SCCBC's 'Summer Sizzler' August 3rd-4th Weekend at Mission Raceway Road Course. In addition to these 'golden oldies', there was lots of other great action throughout the weekend as well.

This weekend also featured the Family Affair Racing Team (aka F.A.R.T.) fourth annual Formula Vee Invitational Race. The Vees always put on a great show from the front to the back of the pack and this year was no different. More info on the F.A.R.T. Facebook page (here).

The final results are available on the Race Results - 2013 Season page (here).

Check out Brent Martin's photos of the action below.

The Show was open from Friday April 19th to Sunday April 21st. The booth featured three all-out racing cars: the former Speedvision World Challenge Corvette C5 of Tom Johnston Racing, the beautifully prepared and very fast Vintage Formula Ford Tiga of Alan McColl and a newcomer on the local scene, the 1965 Fournier-M​arcadier Barquette 1.6 litre sports racer of Ian Wood. (These photos were taken late at night before the setup was completed.) Thank you to the many show-goers who dropped by the booth and said hello; we hope to see you again next year. And a very big 'Thank You' from the VRCBC to the many META folks who showed up (in race day uniform) to help us promote road racing at the Mission Raceway Park Road Course. The next big event is of course, our BC Historic Motor Races (here) on the May 25th - 26th weekend.
