We would like to give special thanks to Alan Enns for allowing us to access to his personal albums of photos he took at Van Isle Dragways back in the day and for allowing us to share these photos. Some great nostalgia from local Van Isle history.
Thank You Alan.....

67 Shelby GT500 #832
It was raced at van isle back in the day.
Does anyone know of any information on this car? Trying to get any information or even get a hold of past owners.
It was on Vancouver island and Hornby island for most of its life.
With thanks, Dan
The interview I did over the phone a couple weeks ago has now been published in the What's On Digest, you can get them free at grocery stores, etc. Great publicity for the club! The woman used photos taken by Dan Dertien in her article, and talked a lot about the upcoming car show. Good stuff!

These are, I'm pretty sure, signs from the Van Isle Drag-way. I don't remember how they came to be in my possession.

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
