Langley Speedway, August 15, 1965


This was the fourth race of the International Challenge Cup between Langley and Skagit Speedways. At this point I only have information from one source: the Columbian.

75 cars were in the pits from many locations: Keremeos, Victoria, Grand Coulee as well as the Skagit area.

The mains were as follows:

A modified -- Ralph Monhay
B modified -- Ken Klatt
stock -- Bob Warman
early late -- Carman Parton

The trophy dash winners were:

A modified -- Ralph Monhay
B modified -- Ken Klatt
stock -- Reinhard Unruh
early late -- Carman Parton

Rollovers included Bill Mandy in his early late and the modifieds of Glenn Parsons and Barry Chamberlain.

The photo comes from the Barry Youngston collection. Photographer unknown but probably Ed Jacques. No idea about who the driver of No. 2 is or whether he could see much.

Like the poor historian at times, "driving blind".
