Saturday, June 24, 1978, Langley Speedway


Some confusion with the ads. And a revelation -- there was another sports car race at Langley. I thought the one from the early 70s was the only one.

This one isn't correct.

This one is.
Saturday, June 24, 1978

first ad reads: limited super stocks, modified sportsman and claimers.
