The Vintage races on Sunday were the seventh and last (already!) IWE-REVS points events for 2024 for VRCBC members. Time flies when you're having fun! The Vintage results are available on this website (here) under the Race Results menu, and the full weekend results are available on the SCCBC website (here). Brent Martin braved the rain to take his usual great photos of the on-track action. You can see some of them below and the rest on his website (here). Our REVS Sunday Vintage races are part of the full weekends of road racing organized by the Sports Car Club of BC (SCCBC) and sanctioned by the Confederation of Autosport Car Clubs (CACC). The full 2025 season schedule will be posted on the SCCBC website Schedule page (here) once it is finalized, probably some time in January. Make sure to check it out and in the meantime, get those Vintage racing cars ready!

This was the third IWE-REVS points event for 2024 for VRCBC members. The weather stayed great throughout the weekend and we had an excellent grid reperesenting a full cross-section of Vintage-eligible racing cars. 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).

See you at the track on August 10th and 11th!

This was their 36th running  of the Pacific Northwest Historics. You can read all about SOVREN (aka Society for Vintage Racing Enthusiasts) and their events on their website (here). A number of VRCBC members and other 'northerners' took part and did well. The full results are posted on Race Hero (here). Our intrepid photographer Brent Martin was there also and provided us with the photos below. Thanks Brent! He has posted many more of his photos of all of the PNW Historics competitors on his website (here). We look forward to welcoming many of the SOVREN racers and their crews to our BC Historic Motor Races in August.
