1960's Video footage of San Cobble / Van Isle drag strips BC Canada

.

 

Wow! Thank you for posting this up........... what a time warp..

I hope that some of the Owner/drivers get to see it.

 

WOW! The Back Up Pick Up, Yellow Fang, one of the Henry J's that has been in several configurations and still races to this day, the black 69 Camaro that beat Jenkins when he came to Seattle, the yellow 55 4 door altered, Gunfighter, and a ton of Stock/Super Stock cars; it's all pretty impressive. I've seen lots of pics of the Spy Machine "Lancer", but this is the first time actually seen it in action. Butch/56sedandelivery.

And for everyone that does't know, the San Cobble track was an access road for a cement manufacturer, and only had a single set of clocks. Most cars made single runs. Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

And did you know that Jerry Ruth ran his fuel car down the San Cobble cowtrail. Alot of you guys probably have driveways wider.

At 24:30 The King Rat is shown doing a Fire burnout, backs into it a 2nd time and then Blows it up Big Time, serious carnage...... But these Guys did try to put on a show!

Wow! Thanks for the show. Never seen a twin engine wheelstander before. Too cool!

 

Yes it was Jimbo,coming down the narrow return road with rear brakes only was a treat too.

 

Kevin, great work on the videos.
Do you have a copy of some of your grampa's home movies from the Abbotsford days?
He made some of us club members dvd copies years ago.
