FART's Fourth Annual FV Invitational Race Aug 3&4

[racingwife]

The Family Affair Racing Team is presenting its Fourth Annual Formula Vee Invitational Race at Mission Raceway Park in beautiful Mission, BC, Canada on August 3rd and 4th! We are also recognizing 50 years of FV. As always, there will be a complimentary dinner on the Saturday night - this year, we're having a pig roast! Lots of prizes! Tow money is in negotiations (last year was $75 per car for every state or province you drove through to get here). If you wanted to get your racing fix, there is an SCCA Regional race at the The Ridge on July 27 & 28, then the FART Race Aug 3/4 , then a CSCC Race at Portland Aug 10/11. We do offer FV rentals, but you would not be eligible for tow money. Last year, we had 28 cars with awesome racing throughout the field! Come race with us good 'ol Canadians, eh! All vees welcome...tire choice is yours. More info to come...check out our webpage with our new video at http://www.unionracing.ca
Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

Just an update on the FART race Aug 3 & 4:

We have tow money!! Courtesy of us, the Family Affair Racing Team, each driver that tows his/her own car will receive $50 for every state or province you go through to get to BC (including Vancouver Island residents). For example, if you’re coming from California, you would get $150.00 Canadian cash!

Also, this year we are shaking things up a bit and are introducing the TEAM CHALLENGE! By random draw, all drivers will be matched up into teams of two. The team with the most combined points at the end of the weekend will be the winners, so you still want to race hard individually and get as many points as possible. If a team member’s car breaks down during the weekend…well…that’s racing, but you should still race for as many points as possible.

There is no gas available at the track, but there is a Chevron with 94 octane nearby.

Accommodations: The Best Western Plus, Mission City Lodge (across the highway from the track) offers special rates for drivers. Just ask for the “Racer’s Rate”.

Don’t forget there is a complimentary pig roast dinner on the Saturday night for all the vee drivers and crew/family, as well as lots of prizes!!

Come out and enjoy some great people and great racing! The cost is $265.00 for Saturday and Sunday. What a deal!

Hope to see you there!
Thanks,
Jennifer Arthur
