Saturday, July 15, 1972, Langley Speedway

Saturday, July 8, 1972 was rained out. Scheduled as a regular "super stock/modified stock/claimer" meet.

The next weekend, Saturday, July 15, 1972, was a one time attempt to run sports cars at the track. Regulars from the SCCBC made a go of it. (And, no, this is not an April Fool joke. It really happened.)
