Jack Williams, RIP
Sad to learn that BC drag racer Jack Williams has passed away. He put in close to 75 years into the motorsport community here.

1907 races
Way back I looked at a couple races at The Willows (Victoria) and Hastings Park (Vancouver) that happened in 1907. The same group travelled around the northwest.
Here's a race date from Walla Walla, WA.

Lynden, WA, 1920
A couple ads from the Lynden Tribune in 1920. One for a race, one for a "Ford Bug" that you could probably have raced if not there, somewhere.

Not sure, Mission 1966
Not sure on where these results are from: Mission or Arlington. Or the date. Will need to pull out a few more sources to confirm. But here is something to look at in the meantime:
