B.C. Historics Set May Date

The 26th running of the British Columbia Historic Motor Races will be held May 25-26 at the Mission Raceway Park road course in Mission, B.C. Organized by the Vintage Racing Club of British Columbia (VRCBC), the meeting has been held since 1976 when first staged at the late, lamented Westwood circuit in Coquitlam, and has become the largest vintage race in Western Canada and among the most significant in the Pacific Northwest, with more than 100 vintage and historic racing cars and more than 3,000 spectators in attendance.

“The BCHMR is unique,” said event chairman Tom Johnston. “Nowhere else in British Columbia can road racing fans get as up close and personal with these wonderful machines and their drivers. The paddock is open to the public all weekend and the on-track racing is fast and competitive, stirring nostalgic memories from a (mostly) bygone era of motor racing.”
