Effective March 17, 2025, the CACC will provide licenses to CACC Officials or Competition License applicants in digital image format only. Reduced demand coupled with obsolete equipment and increased capital and production costs have necessitated this policy change.

Digital licenses issued by the CACC are accepted by motorsport organizations across the country and south of the border including ICSCC, SOVREN, CASC-OR, ARMS, WCMA and others.

CACC digital licenses are provided as an image attachment sent by email. When you receive yours, be sure to save the image on your smartphone for presentation at CACC-sanctioned and other events.

If you require a printed license card, you may use a third-party service such as Zazzle.ca to quickly and easily upload your digital license and order a printed license card.

CACC affiliate clubs are reminded that the CACC event insurer will levy a $50 charge when an application for event insurance is received less than 14 days prior to the event. The CACC Permit and Insurance Application will now automatically apply this charge to any application that lists one or more events occuring less than 14 days in the future. Please get your applications in early to avoid this penalty.

The addition of Touge to CACC Time Attack events was approved by the CACC Board of Directors at the May 14, 2024 board meeting under Rule Change Proposals RCP-2023-844 and RCP-2023-1937. Supplementary bulletin 2024-TA-001 has been issued to guide CACC-sanctioned Time Attack events hosting Touge competitions until formal rules are approved at the CACC Fall General Meeting.

At the SCCBC/CACC April 27-28 race, a penalty for passing under the yellow flag was issued to the driver of open wheel car #94 along with a $100 fine. Drivers are reminded to be cognizant and compliant with all flags to avoid penalties and fines.

A Message from CACC President David Bell

Hello CACC Members,

The Confederation of Autosport Car Clubs needs your help.  As you know, the CACC is dedicated to the promotion of motorsports in the province of BC and a staffed completely by volunteers.

At the March 2024 CACC AGM, we were unable to fill the CACC board positions of Vice President and Treasurer. As a result, the CACC is looking for two volunteers to step up and join our board. 

The Vice President supports the role of President and acts in the place of the president in their absence.  The Vice President may assume the role of President once the latter leaves the organization.

The Treasurer manages the finances of CACC. A background in bookkeeping, finance, or experience with Quickbooks would be beneficial to anyone wanting to take on this role.  Pam Stec, CACC’s current Treasurer, is willing to mentor a replacement, transferring the role fully to the new Treasurer when they are ready. 

The Vice President and Treasurer are two of the four Officers of the Board and have full voting privileges. Both roles require a few hours each week to carry out duties. There is a board meeting each month and two general membership meetings annually to attend.

If you are interested in joining our board to help build motorsports in BC, or would like more information about these positions, please reach out to me at president@caccautosport.org.

Thank you for your continued support of motorsport in BC.

David Bell
CACC President
