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.

SOVREN, our Vintage racing partners from across the border, held their big annual Pacific Northwest Historics event at Seattle International Raceway over the July 5th-7th long weekend. A number of VRCBC members took part and thanks to Brent Martin, Jim Moody and Jock Hobson we have photos of some of them - and others - in action. See below.

Update - July 12, 2013: Jock Hobson's photos added below. Visit the VRCBC Facebook page  (here) to find links to more photos by Marshall Autry and also two in-race videos from inside Paul Kuckein's Z-28, and one from Gunter Pichler's XKE.

There were lots of great machines on display but - although we might be biased - we think the stars of the show were the two 'Open Wheelers' of the VRCBC's very own; BCHMR Chairman Tom Johnston and Vice President Dennis Repel.
