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 (

The VRCBC's 2024 Vintage racing season kicked off on Sunday, April 27th during the SCCBC's 'Spring Fling' weekend at the Speed-Fanatics Motorsport Circuit at Mission Raceway Park. This was the first IWE-REVS points event for 2024 for VRCBC members.
