Wire wheels and wood rimmed steering wheels were the style over the CACC September 18th – 19th race weekend at the Road Course at Mission Raceway Park. The SCCBC was honouring its most senior member, Paul Lautard who was celebrating his 99th year! Paul used to race an MG TC many years ago, so some local MG enthusiasts brought out their classics to put on display in the Paddock and to also do some parade laps.

The MG TCs. TDs and TFs are generally credited with leading the rapid growth of sports cars in post war North America. They might look pretty antiquated to modern eyes but they were a lot of fun ‘back in the day’ and they still are! Thanks as always to Brent Martin for the great photos (below).

This past weekend saw the fourth CACC-sanctioned race meeting at the Mission Raceway Park Road Course for 2021.

The organizing club, the SCCBC had its usual full schedule of practice, qualifying and racing sessions for Open Wheel and Closed Wheel classes on both Saturday and Sunday. The Vintage racers were out on the Sunday for our REVS series. The full results are available on the SCCBC website (here).

Our thanks to Brent Martin for the photos in the above ‘collage’ and below. All of his excellent (as always) photos of the full weekend will soon be available on his website (here). Make sure to check them out and order at least one of yourself (or your favourite ‘hero’ driver) in action!

The Vintage racers will be back on track during the CACC #5 race weekend on October 9th and 10th.

See you at the track for this, the last event of the season!

This past weekend saw the second CACC-sanctioned race meeting at the Mission Raceway Park Road Course for 2021. It was great to welcome spectators back! The weather was almost perfect – it was a little warm though!

The organizing club, the SCCBC had its usual full schedule of practice, qualifying and racing sessions for Open Wheel and Closed Wheel classes on both Saturday and Sunday. The Vintage racers were out on the Sunday for our REVS series. The full results are available on the SCCBC website (here).

The Vintage racers will be back on track during the CACC #3 race weekend on September 18th and 19th. However, there will be more great road racing action at Mission before that. The ICSCC (‘Conference’) will be holding its big annual event at the track over the Labour Day weekend. See the SCCBC website (here) for more information as the date approaches.

See you at the track!

See you at the 2022 BCHMR! – Brent Martin photo

Posted: July 9, 2021

It is with great sadness and frustration that the VRCBC had to cancel the BCHMR for 2021. The Club thanks all those racers and volunteers who did register with a special thank you to our friends from SOVREN who supported us once again. However, we didn’t get the required absolute minimum 40 Canadian entrants we needed to make a go of it.

The BCHMR committee ultimately felt we would be better off keeping our ‘war chest’ intact to put on a bigger and better show next year, when we can get all our ducks in a row, and adequately advertise our event without worry about conforming to COVID protocols and possible uncertain restrictions.
