vintage modifieds at Agassiz Speedway

Apparently a handful of vintage modifieds will be at Agassiz Speedway Saturday July 19th. One scheduled to be there is Ralph Monhay and his number 33.

Looking forward to it.

Here's some recent footage of Ralph Monhay running his restored modified at Stateline Speedway in Idaho.

the 1964 car in 1965 and later

So "Wild" Bill Dagg bought the number 33 Monhay/Marchant modified and did well with it up in Prince George.

It moved around a bit after Bill Dagg sold it but Ralph tracked it down, and with the help of various enthusiasts got it rebuilt.

1964 modified, some more

More stuff from the Prince George Citizen. At the end of the 1964 season the number 33 of Jim Marchant and Ralph Monhay was sold to Prince George racer Bill Dagg. Also included in the photo montage is the Moe Vaillant number 8 car that was sold shortly after this race to Len Jalouse, also of Prince George. Moe stopped racing for a number of years before coming back to help his sons in mini-sprints.

Nice letter of thanks by Ralph and Jim to those who helped them race up in PG. Ralph kept coming back to PGARA to race and promote races. He must have liked it up there.

1964 modified

Ralph Monhay finished having his old 1964 modified restored a few years ago. Here's a few bits about Ralph and the car from back in the day. Clippings from the online Prince George Citizen motherlode.
