The weather conditions for this season's second race weekend couldn't have been more different from those at the first. While it was soaking wet in May; it was baking hot for the SCCBC's 'Race for the House' event during the July 12th-13th weekend. The heat took its toll on both racing cars and drivers. (Of course, crew members, turn workers, safety crews and the other race officials and volunteers who are well-known to be much tougher, hardly noticed that the sky was cloudless!)
The results are posted under the 2014 Race Results menu (here). As always, thanks to the SCCBC for making them available.
New: Check out some of Brent Martin's photos below. More to follow soon. (Thanks Brent.)

The 2014 Vintage racing season at Mission Raceway Park Road Course got off to a very soggy start on May 25th. The weather was OK on the Saturday of the SCCBC's "May-niacs" Weekend, but the Sunday - when the Vintage races were run - was a real west coast-style soaker! Not all of the VRCBC racers had the ideal tires for the conditions but nevertheless 'a good time was had by all' - sort of. After all, being out on the race track - no matter the conditions - is always better than doing chores at home!

The VRCBC racing season opened the evening of Tuesday, April 15th with the VRCBC - IWE Piston Cup Kart Race at our favourite venue, TBC Indoor Racing in Richmond. This time, the members of each team were selected by a random draw held just before the start. As a result, some former team mates became 'arch-enemies' and former enemies found themselves on the same team. Interesting!
The Final Results are available here.
Our sponsor, IWE-Rear Ends Only, donated some fabulous trophies and Western Driver (our annual host at the All British Field Meet) provided some other goodies. Thanks!
And thanks to Jock Hobson for the photos below.
