It wasn't just the racing that was hot at the SCCBC's fourth event of the season over the July 14th - 15th weekend; it was really warm out there!
The Vintage racers were out on the Sunday as usual, with some of the cars (and some drivers too!) showing the effects of the heat. Nevertheless, it was fun. The complete results are available on the CACC #4 Results page on the SCCBC web site (here).
Once again, thanks to Brent Martin for the photos below. You can find all of his albums on his web site (here).

Two of the VRCBC's top 'draft picks' for 2018 battle it out in the Saturday Novice Race! Ewen Dobbie (1959 Porsche 356A) and Gunther Ruppel (1960 Austin Healey 'Bugeye' Sprite) will be 'graduating' to Vintage racing very soon. We are really looking forward to having these two plus Scott Whidden's Alfetta on our grids. - Jim Moody photo[/caption]

The weather was great for the season's second race weekend at the Mission Raceway Park Road Course on May 5th-6th. A good time was had by all!
The Vintage results are available here; the complete results for the weekend are available on the SCCBC web site (here). We have a break in the action now until the third event - the June 23rd-24th weekend. That will give everybody a good chance to get some of those new 'go faster bits' on their cars!
Thanks to Brent Martin for more great photos of our Vintage action (see below) and check out all of his photos on his web site (here).
See you at the track in June!
