7th annual Langley Speedway Reunion, September 8, 2013





Racecars! Show cars! Historical displays! Old drivers! Young guns! Music! Prizes!

7th Annual Langley Speedway Reunion and Car Show – south end 208th St. Langley - mark Sunday September 8th on your calendar.

Arrive prior to 10am to witness the event opening from the grandstand hill – it should me an impressive site – if you have a video camera make sure you bring it.

The event commences at 10:00am with the call  “Drivers – Start – Your – Engines!”
Mr. Langley Speedway will then wave his green flag and the inaugural “Victory Lap Parade” will begin to roll out.

In a salute to the fans, all display cars will take 1 parade lap behind the official pace car around the oval on the way to their pit stalls. Once parked and when safe to do so, in the long-standing tradition of racing, all visitors will then be invited to join them in the pits to begin the celebration.

We invite all show car and race car owners to be a fun part of track history – bring out your gear, show us your stuff - no pre-registration - no charge. If you want to be part of the “Victory Lap Parade” just arrive prior to 10 – if not, join us up till 4pm.

All participating racecars will be entered in a draw for prizes including an official driver’s suit and a Hans device.

All show cars on display that day will receive a free ticket for chances at their own prize pool of auto related accessories.

Talk about an affordable family opportunity - cotton candy, hot-dogs and water by donation – proceeds to go to the Historical Society. In addition there will be coffee, cold drinks and mini-donuts available at a reasonable cost.

The first 500 fans to arrive will also receive a free ticket for a chance at door prizes.

At 11:00 and 2:30 we are in for a special treat with the appearance on stage of “Elvis Within” – Jack Overbury is a local Elvis tribute artist who is a past winner at the prestigious Penticton Elvis competition. When not on stage he will be walking around the show area just waiting for people to ask him to pose for a photo.

It is our goal to honour the past while dreaming-n-scheming about the future of oval racing. We hope you are able to join us – bring your family, bring your friends, bring a lawn chair and a picnic lunch – plan to spend the day with old friends and great memories.

Don’t forget your sunscreen.
