some more from Nanaimo, Sunday, August 9, 1964

Another hot Grandview Bowl August afternoon in 1964.

while in Victoria....

Went to UVic to check the microfilm. Decided on Nanaimo from July to September 1964 because that's where the BCTRA went (amongst other places) after the split from Haney Speedway.

It started in August.
