Langley Speedway, July 17, 1966

Doesn't appear that any racing happened at Langley on July 3rd or 10th. Rain-outs? If I find different from further research I'll change the record.

From information out of the Columbian, Advance and Leader comes the following:

60 cars in the pits.

To add to the excitement driver Carman Parton and Columbian newspaper columnist Alan Jay layed on the hood of the W00 early-late and drove through a flaming board fence. Jay looked up at the last second and broke his nose. But he got a column out of his for the Monday edition.

The side of the W00 early-late said "WATCH W00 GO THRU". Great poetry for a 1966 nine-year-old but for older guys it was best to be inside W00 if it was actually going to go through.
