ATTENTION ALL VEE DRIVERS!!
Arthur Motorsports is pleased to announce that we are going to be putting on a race in honour of the legendary Al Ores celebrating his 50^th year of racing! We are joining up with the Vintage Racing Club of British Columbia (VRCBC www.vrcbc.ca) for their event, the BC Historic Motor Races (BCHMR www.bchmr.ca) on August 18-19, 2018 at Mission Raceway Park in Mission, BC Canada. There will be an open test day Friday, August 17 as well. This is an open invitation to ANY Formula Vee, modern or vintage, to come join us in celebration of such an amazing man who has had a very long and successful racing career! (He’s going to be 85 years old in May!!)

Every driver gets two tickets to the Saturday night dinner the VRCBC is hosting, and extra tickets will be available for purchase.

I'm coming' too but you must all listen to my story AGAIN of Al changing my valve spring so I could run my first ever race Westwood 1982 We were putting the bodywork on after the 5 minutes and Al was scrambling into his car, nearly missing his race to help me.

Everyone expects to hear all of your stories. Again.

Beat the drum down there Bob, it would be great to see a 20+ car field for Al's 50th!!
I have a line on a Vee rental if someone is interested, nothing fancy but it should get you into Al's big race.

What a fantastic celebration of Al Ores' 50 years of racing plus great racing in the all-FV group! There were 16 vees that put on a great show for the spectators and we'd like to thank everyone who came out to support Al, and all the volunteers, turn workers and safety team. We'd also like to thank our sponsors: the Vintage Racing Club of BC for allowing us to put this race on; NuTek Sign Creations for the beautiful t-shirts and trophies; CACC for tow money for our American friends; Driver's Edge Autosport for their donation of products; Andrew and Sheryl Mawdsley for donating wine; and Peter Vajda for supplying champagne for the toast to Al. Pictures and video of the weekend can be found on Arthur Motorsport's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/arthurmotorsportsfv/ and pictures can also be found at martinsactionphotography.smugmug.com (thank you Brent Martin).
