The Sports Car Club of BC (SCCBC) hosted their 'Pacific Coast Season Opener' event, sanctioned by the Confederation of Autosports Car Clubs (CACC).   As usual, the SCCBC ran their race classes on both Saturday and Sunday, while the 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 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).   The next races will be during the May 24th-25th weekend, with our Vintage races being on the Sunday as usual. See you at the track!

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] Posted: October 10, 2024 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.
