Unlike the previous race weekend, the weather was 'less than ideal' for the SCCBC’s ‘Fall Finale’ / CACC #6 October 26th-27th race weekend at the Speed Fanatics Motorsport Course at Mission Raceway Park. 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!

Visible behind them are (left to right) Werner Berger ('90 BMW 325is), Robin Liu ( '71 Datsun 240Z), Jon Wright ('90 BMW E30) and almost hidden behind the Porsche, Pat Hall ('72 Datsun 240Z). - Brent Martin photo[/caption]

The weather was perfect for the Vintage racing on the Sunday of the SCCBC’s ‘Wet Leaf Classic’ / CACC #5 October 5-6 race weekend at the Speed Fanatics Motorsport Course at Mission Raceway Park. This was the sixth IWE-REVS points event for 2024 for VRCBC members.
The VRCBC always say: 'The Cars are the Stars!' and 'Vintage means Variety!' and this weekend proved it! The Vintage entry included in (approximate) alphabetical order, an Austin 'Big' Healey, four BMWs ( a 2002, three E30s) a Camaro and a Corvette, six Datsuns (a 1200, two 510s, three 240Zs), a Ford Focus SVT, a Honda Civic, a Mazda Miata, a MGB, a (tube chassis) Pontiac Grand Am, two Porsches (a 911S, a 911RSR), a Triumph (Dolomite) 2000, and a Volvo 142S. This is why Vintage racing is so much fun to take part in and to watch; the cars are so different and everyone has someone to race with.
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).

The third event of the VRCBC's 2024 Vintage racing season was held on Sunday, July 21st during the SCCBC's 'Dog Days of Racing' weekend at the Speed-Fanatics Motorsport Circuit at Mission Raceway Park. 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).

SOVREN, our Vintage racing 'cousins' from south of the border held a big race event over the June 29-30 weekend at Pacific Raceways in Seattle. 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.
