Langley Speedway, July 25, 1965


A limited amount of information from various sources: Sun, Leader and Advance.

I suppose what happened was one car, a super modified driven by Chub Milo out of Bremerton, WA, went over the wall and that took up most of the coverage.

Ralph Monhay set another new track record with a qualifying time of 15.2o seconds.

Ralph also won the 25-lap A main.

Denny Goldstraw in his #40 car won the B main.

Milo, while trying to pass Bruce Bensmiller in his #66, clipped the Bensmiller front end and ended up doing a slow roll over the southeast fence. First car out of the park. Bensmiller was able to fix his car. Milo's front end looked bad but he was okay.

The Leader noted that Ralph Monhay was interested in joining the CAMRA circuit to do some racing.

According to the same newspaper there were at least 60 cars in the pits. Wish we knew what the stocks and the early lates were up to.

Like the regular press we'll look at the crash (we hope no one gets hurt but we don't want to miss seeing them). The top shot from the Surrey Leader and the bottom from Road and Motorsport in BC. The bottom is definitely by Ed Jacques. The top probably is as well.
