The VRCBC held its annual banquet and awards presentations at the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club on November 21st. In the true VRCBC tradition, everything was kept very informal and a good time was had by all.  Check out the photos of the various award winners below.

Next up is the Annual General Meeting on January 15th. Then it is time to get your car(s) ready for next season; the first Vintage races are on April 11th! See you at the track!

He’s baaaack! Long time Vintage racer and VRCBC member, Paul Haym managed to get his ‘new’ 1972 BMW 2002 finished in time to make the season’s last race event. It looked great and we look forward to seeing it at every weekend next year. Closely following Paul is Jon Wright in his ‘much younger’1990 BMW E30 and the rest of the pack. – Brent Martin photo

The weather was perfect for the sixth and final race event of the 2025 road racing season at Mission Raceway Park Motorsports Circuit over the October 4th -5th weekend. The Sports Car Club of BC (SCCBC) hosted their ‘Fall Finale’ event, sanctioned as always by the Confederation of Autosports Car Clubs (CACC).

The SCCBC ran their usual Closed Wheel (CW) and Open Wheel (OW) race classes on both Saturday and Sunday, while, as always, our Vintage cars raced on the Sunday only. All of the results for the full weekend are available on the SCCBC website (here). The Vintage results are also available on the Results page of this 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).

It has been a very competitive and enjoyable season. We look forward to seeing everybody back at the track again in 2026!
