Ian Fraser's Album

A special thank you to our friend Ian Fraser for generously sharing photos from his personal collection. These pictures date back to 1958-1962 and cover some of the greater Victoria indoor car shows as well as racing coverage from the old Bamberton Cement Road in Cobble Hill, which was run by the Quarter Milers car club.  Thank you Ian for this contribution to our Nostalgia section.  Dan & Lyndon

Van Isle Dragway, April 1970 Motorsport Magazine.

Thanks to my Coal Miners Baseball League buddy and fellow car guy Jordan Brandback I recently received a box of old drag racing and hot rod magazines and various drag racing related stuff, including this cool 2-page story on Van Isle Dragway that ran in the April 1970 Motorsport Magazine.
