Langley Speedway, August 21, 1966

A few less cars, around 50, in the pits. But the crashes were up, or at least being reported more for this week. Good news was that the problems between the BCTRA and Craig Frazer seemed to have been settled so the announcement was that the 'TRA would be returning to Langley the next week.

About a normal 4000 in attendance.

(There was a five-car pileup during the first lap of the modified main. Lee Kelly of the Examiner wrote "one lavender rear end job that had just arrived on the scene for the first time, looked very pretty before the crash....")

Kelly also made note of the 1958 Ford of Harry Ashbrook and the 1956 Ford of Otto Hein. Lee worked for George Black Motors, a Ford and Mercury dealership. Hmmmm....

Mention was made concerning the return of the BCTRA of Larry Sproule's success so far in the 1966 season. 14 trophies so far. His B modified sponsored by Highway Garage and crewed by Orville Neilsen, Ron Neilsen, Kent Williams and Bob Kehler
