British Car Week
2024-05-27 - 2024-06-02 | VA
“British Car Week is an annual tradition of promoting the British car hobby. It began as a response to columnist Peter Egan’s wake-up call titled “Seldom Seen Cars” published in the March 1997 issue of Road & Track Magazine. The latter part of May was chosen since it is a time of year when many British car owners begin thinking about preparing their cars for the upcoming driving season. The idea was to promote the British car hobby using the vast resources of the internet to contact British car enthusiasts wherever possible (email, clubs, blogs, list groups…), and hope they would join forces to help promote all of the many wonderful facets of the hobby. By getting cars onto the roads of communities everywhere possible during the week, it would help increase awareness of these once very popular vehicles, and in turn help keep the hobby and businesses that support our cars flourishing.”
Note that the SVBCC has four events during this week:

May 27: Cruise-In & Picnic @ Glenmore Country Club
June 1 (morning): British Invasion (& Breakfast) @ Cars & Coffee Charlottesville
June 1 (afternoon): Rockbridge Winery Afternoon
June 2: Drive To Luray Caverns for Brunch + Car & Carriage Museum

Mark Harris
Join former Club member Ken Brasfield and me for another thrilling weekend of vintage racing at Summit Point Raceway.
The event will run 5/16-19; come for the whole weekend or for part of a day. More information on the event here.
Ken and I will leave from the Charlottesville area Friday 5/17 and return Sunday 5/19. We have weekend accommodations at the Rodeway Inn in Charlestown, WV–located about 20 minutes east of Summit Point WV. We bring camp chairs, beverages, and munchies but rely on the snack bar for burgers, fries, and such. We usually set up in the Infield across from the principal grandstand then scope out different views from other parts of the track.
Many of us have attended the Jefferson 500 in the past and have enjoyed its excellent competition and high quality race cars. Some Club members have competed in the 500…not sure if any will race this year. British driver Brian Redman used to compete regularly in a Chevron but I have not seen him in several years.
For further information contact me.
