A ditty called "Mexican Road Race". Has little to do with greater Vancouver racing except that Hershel McGriff, from Portland, a regular a Langley in the late 1960s into the 1970s, got his big break at that race when Big Bill France invited Hershel to the southeast to race on the NASCAR circuit.
There is a story from Don Bennett, a Digney Speedway top gun, that there were plans to field a car in the early 1950s for the race. But those plans fell through, much to the relief of Don's mother.
Plenty of reports and stories on the net about the Mexican Road Race.
