early vancouver racing, adding to the addenum
Digging through the archive (i.e., cleaning up) I came across this 1911 motorcycle race at Hastings Park. From the text it sounds like there were earlier races.
Red Sebastian's name shows up in later years racing automobiles. And Earl Godfrey is named racing motorcycles later on as well.
Here's the results all typed out:
