Langley Speedway, September 25, 1966


No information on any racing at Langley Speedway on either September 11th or September 18th, 1966. Rain? Not sure. Nothing in all of the usual newspapers.

So onto September 25, 1966, the championship races for LARA and BCTRA.

trophy dashes:

early-late
1--Al Baldwin

super stock
1--Clare Walsh, no. 70

modified stock
1--Reinhard Unruh, no. 7

B modified
1--Larry Sproule, no. 75

A modified
1--Wayne Willoughby, no. 29

foreign stocks
1--Jim Glasgow, no. 19

The rest of this is confusing as various clubs awarded various first place finishers. Top that off with rains shortening the event. This is the best I can glean from the newspapers.

30-lap early-late main
1--Ron Morrison, no. 94E (BCTRA)
1--Clarence Regenwetter, no. 73 (ELRA)
1--Mike Olshaski, no. 90 (LARA)

modified stock main
1--Reinhard Unruh, no. 7 (BCTRA)
1--Jim Dinsmore, no. 49 (LARA)
2--Doug Firth, no. 2 (LARA)

75-lap A & B modified main
1--A--Ken Hamilton (LARA)
1--B--George Wyse (LARA)
1--A--Ray Pottinger, no. 44 (BCTRA)
1--B--Ken Klatt (BCTRA)

I think the LARA modified drivers were mostly from Skagit Speedway. And Ray Pottinger was from Nanaimo. First time for the foreign stocks on the track. They appeared indoors at the Agrodome during the winter.
