Langley Speedway, June 19, 1966
Missed a week so I better get back on it:
Because the BCTRA had pulled out of Langley at the start of the 1966 other modifieds were enlisted to race. Mostly it was the dirt track modifieds from Skagit Speedway.
A & B combined 25-lap modified main:
1st, Lloyd Armey
2nd, Butch Gilbert
1st B modified, Alvin Edwards
25-lap early-late main:
1st, Dennis Corfe, #37, mauve 1952 Packard
2nd, Vic Mossey, #83
3rd, Mike Oshaski, 53 Ford
4th, Jerry Merry, #81
5th, Ric Lester, #3
A modified dash:
1st, Butch Gilbert
B dash:
1st, Wayne Trotter (another item noted Wayne drove an early-late, so is this the early-late dash or the B modified dash?)
Some numbers:
#34, Wayne Trotter
#98, Bob Frant
Rick Lester got a roll over trophy.
Also running that day: Waly Madden and Carmen Parton.
Parton hit the outside wall in one race narrowly missing starter Leo Vanderkamp.
Top photo I doubt is of the accident in question as Carman's early-late is on the inside. But Leo and Bob Desormeaux are in the starter area watching it all unfold. Photo courtesy of Barry Youngston.
The photo below I believe is Lloyd Armey. It also looks like Langley. So..., is it?

This is at Skagit from the 1964 yearbook
I thought it wasn't Langley. Wrong back drop. Thanks for the update.
