Cleaning up a pile I came across something I knew I had (but couldn't find) -- a photo I'd taken of the late Dick Brunt's BC Roadster Racing Association (BCRRA) membership card from 1950. He was number 2 in the club. They raced at Digney Speedway in 1950, never getting to a critical mass of members with racing cars to make a solid go of the two day a week racing that Andy Digney wanted, so the club waned and disappeared.
The BCRRA did race once or twice at the Cloverdale fairgrounds around that time as well as being responsible (according to a newspaper clipping from 1954 or so) for the almost legendary Wonderland Speedway at Brown Road and the Trans-Canada Highway (24o Street and the Fraser Highway now) east of Langley City.
Just to round out this find (an archaeological dig in my own home) a couple roaring roadsters from the 1950 Digney Speedway season -- Larry McBride with his no. 10, and the late Larry Miller in the no. 8 and Frank Kratzer in the no. 11.
