SCCBC Awards
SCCBC is proud of its long history, now spanning over 60 years. Throughout its history, the club has had its share of skilled competitors, dedicated volunteers and rabid motorsport enthusiasts. To recognize the accomplishments and reward the devotion of our drivers, volunteers and support crew, each year our SCCBC Executive and the SCCBC Race Drivers Committee (RDC) select the best candidates for a variety of awards. The table below lists the current and historical holders of each of our award categories. Congratulations to all our award winners. Without them, our club would not be on the vanguard of motorsports in British Columbia.
