Seems like this weekend the early-late flatheads and overheads got sorted out to be early-lates and super stocks.

The lack of A and B modifieds probably was due to the big Daffodil Cup race at Western Speedway in Victoria over the long weekend. The problems with VITRA and Western mirrored some of the same problems that the BCTRA had with Langley. And everything had been sorted out for this weekend. The big races got run.

The beneficiary of the aggro at both tracks was Nanaimo's Grandview Bowl. I'll have to chronicle the modified races held there over the summer of 1966 at some point.
