Hi Jim,

Unfortunately, there is no test and tune on the 11th.

Jim If you enter the regional as well as the fv race,there is an abundance of track time. Don't worry about learning the track - you'll have about 3 hours to figure it out. Bob Posner

OK, thanks Jennifer and Bob. I hope to have about 6 races under my belt by then so hope not to be too much of a hazard to navigation.

It appears there is a regular group of vees that run routinely at Mission, once I get through the novice program with IRDC, I presume I can race with you folks at Mission? It's closer to me than Portland and I'd rather run with vees than all by myself.

Have no fear Jim, I will be around to give you a run for your money! I am looking forward to it!!!

Hi Jim - yes, you'll be very welcome to race with "us" at Mission with your ICSCC license!

No one needs to worry about being a hazard at Mission - we've had fantastic races with big fields, with cars running on lap record pace all the way to 10+ seconds a lap slower. You'll find that everyone here will be more than happy to help you learn the track and get up to speed quickly

Thanks guys, appreciate the welcome and don't worry Troy, I plan to race in Portland as well. Got my engine back from Noble, so I just need to drop it back in and see if it runs!

What a great weekend of racing here in BC! 16 cars started the Fifth Annual FV Invitational Race at Mission Raceway on Saturday, with Paul Higgins taking first place, Bob Posner second and Dennis Andrade third. No major incidents in that race, other than Martin Phillips having to pull over in Turn 2 with clutch problems. Saturday night we had a piggy barbeque thanks to Charlie and Gayle Baird and their helpers Lil Ron and Crystal! Lots of prizes and many thanks to our sponsors: CACC for supplying tow money for our out-of-town racers; SCCBC for supplying $1000 prize money which was split up equally for all the drivers; California Import Parts Ltd came through for us again this year, giving us over $1000 worth of vee parts to give away!; Driver's Edge Auto Sport; Lordco Ladner; G3 Racing; O'Hayre Motorsports; TNT Signs; Big Fat Graphic House. Sunday's race had only 13 drivers start (a couple of people had car issues and one wasn't feeling well because of the intense heat - 38 degrees celcius I believe). Paul Higgins took off like a bullet and raced against himself, the next six cars of Dennis Andrade, Bob Posner, Scott Arthur, Jim McAdie, Martin Phillips and Adam Munn had a great race dicing back and forth; the next three cars of Al Ores, Ross Baillie and Alan Baker were having a fun race, Tim Brausse started last and did a great job trying to catch the leaders; Gayle Baird retired on the eighth lap with some issues; and Tim Leavitt and Bruce Jamieson were having a great time too! Sunday's results were Paul Higgins first, Bob Posner second and Adam Munn third. Points were awarded for both days and the combined totals overall for the weekend were:
1) Paul Higgins
2) Bob Posner
3) Dennis Andrade
4) Adam Munn
5) Jim McAdie
6) Tim Brausse
7) Al Ores
Ross Baillie
Alan Baker
8 Pam Williams
9) James Dallimore
Martin Phillips
10)Gayle Baird
Bruce Jamieson
11)Tim Leavitt
12)Chuck Sowards

Congratulations to our winners and thank you to all the drivers and their crew/families that came out to attend! (Quinn Posner FART missed you!) Huge thank yous to our mechanics Graham Hay, Adam Munn and Robbie Arthur! You guys are amazing! We look forward to next year and hope you all can make it! Check out pictures on our Facebook Page!
