1963 results of the later Mt. Douglas hill climb

From what I understand the hill climbs -- both at Mt. Douglas and Little Saanich Mountain -- were held twice a year. I don't have all the news clippings so I'm guessing this is the second one for the 1963 season.

Veteran Arleigh Pilkey, from Vancouver, missed winning by two-tenths of a second.

More Arleigh. A photo of one of his specials at the Westbank hill climb in 1958 that would have seen action at Abbotsford Airport. And a 1960 photo of a Lotus he campaigned at Westwood and elsewhere.

Arleigh Pilkey

Arleigh Pilkey is one of those almost forgotten pioneers of Greater Vancouver motorsport. His name goes right back to the late teens of the 20th century when he raced on the half-mile horse track at Hastings Park. And he was still racing up to the mid-1960s with sports cars at Westwood.

So some clippings and photos about Arleigh over the next few days.
