Langley Speedway, September 6, 1965



Second half of a two-day weekend show at the speedway, the Monday being Labour Day.

The A modified 50-lap main event Empire Trophy winner was Mel Keen. He was followed by Don Bennett, Wayne Wilbey and Cal Arnold.

The B modified main event winner was Ken Klatt.

The modified stock main event winner was Frank McCabe. He was followed by Walt McKitka, Doug Thompson (in Reinhard Unruh's no. 7) and Bill Inwood.

The jalopy/early-late main was won by Brian Thompson and he was followed by Dennis Corfe, John Rothwell and Glen Buckler.

This was the last points earning day for the BCTRA. Going into the day Wayne Wilbey was tied with Ralph Monhay and with his finish took the title. Ralph had been busy with the Canadian American Modified Racing Association races at Edmonton, Victoria and Nanaimo. (Check the clipping from Racing Wheels.)

The B modified points title for 1965 went to Dennis Goldstraw.

The modified stock title went to Reinhard Unruh.

And the jalopy/early-late main went to Carmen Parton.

A more detailed look will be posted shortly.
