2019 British Columbia Historic Motor Races (BCHMR)

 

The Vintage Racing Club of British Columbia (VRCBC) is very pleased to present the 2019 British Columbia Historic Motor Races (BCHMR) at Mission Raceway Park Road Course, Mission, BC on August 10 - 11, 2019. 

There are three race classes for 2019:

1. Vintage Closed Wheel (CW) This class for Production and Improved Production –based sedans and sports cars will have two groups: CW(A) for “Not So Fast” and CW(B) for “Fastest”.
2. Vintage Open Wheel / Sports Racer (OW/SR), Formula Ford and Exhibition class for purpose-built racing cars. (Formula Ford has three sub-groups: Vintage FFord, Club FFord and Modern FFord.)
3. Formula Vee class, which has two sub-groups: Vintage FVee and Modern FVee

This year features the return of the Hagerty Formula Festival and the annual ‘all-comers’ Jim Latham Memorial Race for Vintage CW sedans and sports cars, which is always a favourite of both the drivers and the spectators!

The regular awards will again be presented for on-track performances: the Abbotsford Trophy, the Westwood Trophy, and the Pete Lovely Memorial Award. As well, there will also be:

• The Chairman's Trophy for the most outstanding entry of the race event
• The Historic Battered Cup for the entry having the most ‘shattering’ experience
• The SOVREN Canada Cup for the most significant US-based SOVREN club entry

In addition to the racing, the BCHMR will again feature the very popular Charity Rides in support of the VRCBC’s ‘Charity of Choice, the Mission Hospice Society. For a nominal donation, fans can go for a ride on the track in a Vintage racing car or other high performance car during the Saturday and Sunday lunch breaks.
