Missed a week so I better get back on it:
Because the BCTRA had pulled out of Langley at the start of the 1966 other modifieds were enlisted to race. Mostly it was the dirt track modifieds from Skagit Speedway.
A & B combined 25-lap modified main:
1st, Lloyd Armey
2nd, Butch Gilbert
1st B modified, Alvin Edwards
25-lap early-late main:
1st, Dennis Corfe, #37, mauve 1952 Packard
2nd, Vic Mossey, #83
3rd, Mike Oshaski, 53 Ford
4th, Jerry Merry, #81
5th, Ric Lester, #3
A modified dash:
1st, Butch Gilbert
B dash:
1st, Wayne Trotter (another item noted Wayne drove an early-late, so is this the early-late dash or the B modified dash?)
Some numbers:
#34, Wayne Trotter
#98, Bob Frant
Rick Lester got a roll over trophy.
Also running that day: Waly Madden and Carmen Parton.
Parton hit the outside wall in one race narrowly missing starter Leo Vanderkamp.
Top photo I doubt is of the accident in question as Carman's early-late is on the inside. But Leo and Bob Desormeaux are in the starter area watching it all unfold. Photo courtesy of Barry Youngston.
The photo below I believe is Lloyd Armey. It also looks like Langley. So..., is it?
This is at Skagit from the 1964 yearbook
ReplyDeleteI thought it wasn't Langley. Wrong back drop. Thanks for the update.
