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 www.unionracing.caThanks! Jennifer Arthur Family Affair Racing Team arthursix@shaw.ca

Hi Everyone,
Here is some more info on our race:
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”. 1-604-820-5500 direct or 888-552-5542 toll free reservations
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 two days of great racing with some great people!
Thank you! Jennifer Arthur Family Affair Racing Team

We have PRIZE MONEY!! Thank you to the Sports Car Club of BC for giving us $1,000.00 for prize money! So....who's planning on coming and joining our racing Family? Last year we had 28 Vees! Mission Raceway is only 2 hours north of Seattle, 5 hrs north of Portland, 7 hours from Spokane, 13 hours from Thunderhill Raceway....and remember you get $50 for every state you tow your car through to get to BC! We look forward to seeing you there! Thank you, Jennifer Arthur Family Affair Racing Team

Just a reminder that the Fourth Annual FV Invitational Race is one month away! Registration is now open through www.motorsportreg.com (Sports Car Club of BC- Mission Raceway Road Course) We would like to include driver profiles in our program for that weekend, so if you could send me an email with the following info: Number of years racing; Location of first race; How did you get started; What do you race now; Greatest racing memory; Advice for those looking to get started in racing; Anything else you would like to add. Please also send me a picture of your race car and a head shot. Could you also please let me know how many people will be with you (we need to know how big of a pig to get for dinner).

I second Quinn's comments. Fun event and great food. It was pretty neat to have the Canadian club put up prize money and everyone left with goodies. My thanks to the F.A.R.T. team, CIP1, & Snap On. The trophies from Snap on were cast replicas of larage sockets that doubled as a beer mug and trophy.. very cool.
