The Vintage Racing Club of British Columbia (VRCBC) is very pleased to announce that the 35th running of its annual marquee race weekend, the British Columbia Historic Motor Races (BCHMR) presented by Titanium Ford, will be held on August 10-11, 2024, at the Speed-Fanatics Motorsport Circuit at Mission Raceway Park in Mission, British Columbia, Canada.
The BCHMR is the largest vintage race event in Western Canada and a significant one in the Pacific Northwest, with typically 100 vintage and historic racing cars, and several thousand spectators in attendance. This year’s event will be co-hosted with our long-time partners, the Sports Car Club of British Columbia (SCCBC). Titanium Ford joins us again this year as the events presenting sponsor, and that well-known racer, Vancouver native Ross Bentley is our Grand Marshal.
For 2024, the BCHMR will again feature three main Vintage race groups, one for the very quick open wheel and sports racing cars, and two for the sedans and sports cars that many fans remember from their younger days. In addition to the regular races, there will be a feature Spridget Challenge race for the ever-popular Austin Healey Sprites and MG Midgets on Saturday, and an all-comers race for sedans and sports cars on Sunday. See the club website for the other six IWE-sponsored REVS race day schedule.
Other Attractions
A big classic and performance car display will be featured in a special spectator area, known as “The Field of Dreams”, creating a unique show of its own.
Adding to the atmosphere are the sponsors’ booths and automotive product displays. The food concessions, informative track side commentary and excellent grandstand viewing, all make this an entertaining weekend for families as well as long-time motorsports enthusiasts.
