Anji Bemben - on her way...

If the first full year of a racing career can be considered the starting line then Anji Bemben is sitting in the pole position, ready for challengers. The North Vancouver, British Columbia-based driver was the series winner in the Production 3 class (P3) and second overall in the Westcoast Sportscar Championship Series held from April through October of this year at the picturesque Mission Raceway Park in Mission, B.C.

"I'm so happy how the first season went,² said Bemben, who drives a West Coast Hotrods-built 1987 Mazda RX7, and is sponsored by TONI&GUY, Diamonds Direct and Richmond Autobody of North Vancouver. "It was such a great experience and I couldn't ask for a better result, well, except winning the overall, but who knows maybe I'll get that next year." The only professional car roadracing series in Western Canada, the Westcoast Sportscar Championship Series consists of seven one-hour enduro races with mandatory one minute pit stops and optional driver changes. Bemben, who co-drives with her husband Ryan Ennis, was the only woman in a field of 46 drivers in the Sportscar Club of British Columbia

Bemben also raced in the SCCBC sponsored invitational only, non-points event earlier this summer at the Molson Indy Vancouver.
