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 (

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). Check out the full season schedule on the SCCBC website Schedule page (

The next Vintage races will be our very own
BC Historic Motor Races held over the August 10-11 weekend. Check out the separate BCHMR 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.
