Vancouver report

Formula Atlantic race results, Vancouver, Sept. 3, 1994:

Richie Hearn led most of the race until a full course yellow from about lap 25 to lap 30 allowed the other front-runners to close up. David Empringham passed soon after the green to take over the lead, and Greg Ray passed Hearn for second 3 laps from the end. The top 5 stayed in the same order from the start otherwise. Apparently Hearn was having brake and engine troubles after the half way mark.
