to the winner


August used to be the traditional time for the Gold Cup to be run in Edmonton.

This year it was held on July 12th, and won by Brock Lemley from Bellingham, WA. It's now a dirt race and not held on the pavement.

All sorts of traditions end. And new ones begin.

Reminds me, the Daffodil Cup at Western Speedway is happening August 16th. That used to be held on the Labour Day weekend. And it was a two day event. Traditions end, traditions start.

Has kissing the trophy girl remained a constant?

1968 winner Jim Roberts passed away earlier this year which was noted on this blog.
