The fourth CACC-sanctioned, SCCBC race event of the season - 'A Lap Ahead Weekend' - was held at Mission Raceway Park Road Course on August 6th and 7th. The VRCBC REVS races took place on the Sunday as usual. For some of the drivers, this was the perfect warm up for the BC Historic Motor Races during the August 20-21 weekend.

The complete results for all of the weekend's racing are available on the SCCBC website (here). The Vintage and the Open Wheel / Sports Racer results are also available in PDF under the 2016 Season menu on this web site (here).

Check out Brent Martin’s photos of the Vintage action below. (Thanks Brent!) His complete gallery of photos from the weekend will be available on his web site (here) soon.

See you at the BCHMR!
