Model T racing, Saskatoon, 1945

Mention of Model T racing (actually reviving an old Don Radbruch thread, from here) reminded me that I had managed to copy these items off the net. A Dominion Day Model T race at Saskatoon.
Like Alberta, the Saskatchewan races began during the Second World War.

imca, 1923 part two
I like the photo from the Toronto Star. There was a big article in the magazine Auto Racing Memories by former IMCA stalwart Aut Swenson who traveled with the group back in those days and eventually had a thrill show that came through the prairies during the 1950s and beyond that talks about the train coaches that were attached to the fair train by Sloan that went from town to town. I'll have to search that one out.
The further exploits of Emory Collins, Regina, SK, come to light. First as a "mallet welder (sic)" for the automobile polo match that was part of the show and then in Ontario as a driver.

imca, 1920 part two
Second of what will be three parts to the 1920 Canadian IMCA season. This part finishes out the prairie provinces. Interesting to see a town like Yorkton, SK on the schedule. Wish I had some info on what happened there. As I remember I couldn't find anything in the Regina newspaper.
And why I have nothing from Winnipeg, MB is a mystery right now. Hopefully it'll get sorted soon. But, to this point, we have what we have. And we have:

imca, 1919 part one
It's Wednesday and time for the IMCA recap. Only will need two parts for this year.
Again noticeable for the names: Dave Koetzla went on to work at the Gilmore Stadium midget race track in Los Angeles; Sig Haugdahl's name became synonymous with the IMCA in the years to come; and Irving "Putty" Hoffman's name is mentioned in the most recent issue of The Alternate by future IMCA start Emory Collins. Seems Hoffman was a cousin to Collins and at age 13 Emory got his first chance to drive a real race car, Hoffman's. Might have been this year.

imca 1918, part 2
Second of three goes to deal with the IMCA in Canada during 1918. More than most years as there was a tour going on in Central Canada as well as the prairies.
Have to shake my head at the names in both series. Gaston Chevrolet, who would go on to win the 1920 Indianapolis 500, in the east. In the prairies it was Leon Duray working a fictitious French name (his real name was George Stewart) to help make Alex Sloan's International circuit very international. The name stuck and Duray started numerous Indy 500s. And the Ben Gotoff of 1918 was the Ben Giroux of 1917. French to German in the span of one year. Things were a bit loosey-goosey in the Sloan world of racing.
As with the east races there was an aviatrix, Katherine Stinson, as part of the show.
So, the results:
July 11, 1918, Edmonton, Alberta, exhibition, 1/2 mile
