Like I say I better double up to get Langley info out there. Here's the Sunday, July 4, 1965 race results. Again, sparse, with the Surrey Leader and Robert G. Hunter's Racing Wheels as sources.
Mel Keen won the 25-lap A main for super modifieds.
Ken Klatt won the B modified main.
In the stock class Neil Van Horne was the winner.
No information on the early-late class.
The Leader made a note of driver Frank Carr in the B modified class saying "the cool methodical driving habits of Frank Carr in his class B rig marks him as a man to watch as the season wears on. His moves around the corners gives him an edge on his opponents, but he still loses some ground on the straightaways. With a super modified, he'll be clearing the field and building his trophy collection."
I believe Frank Carr's son is Jimmy Carr. The same Jimmy Carr who raced sprint cars at Skagit Speedway and then the World of Outlaws sprint tour. Jimmy is now a crew chief for a World of Outlaws team.
The Leader also noted that seven of the cars finished racing Sunday and headed south to Skagit Speedway for another race. It was July the 4th, after all.
"Driving his 'S', Bobby Desarmiux (sic) (Desormeaux is closer) placed third in the C man and Dan Dow in his No. 8 special placed 4th in the C heat.
"The big winner at the Skagit meet was Jerry Birdsey, diving car 10, to take the trophy dash and the fast heat for the super modified class."
The photo below is of Mel Keen's super modified. Mel isn't in the photo but I believe the big guy on the right is mechanic/builder Blackie Green. Again it comes from the Ken Klatt collection.
