"Canadian Cuda" Practicing Wheelies
We recently uncovered this rare 4 minute 8mm Film Footage of Doug Murray's "Canadian Cuda" practicing wheelies at Van Isle Dragways in Mill Bay BC. We would like to thank Wayne Roberts & Kevin Roberts for allowing us access to this rare footage from their VHS tapes.
Mill Bay Strip Signs
Friend Rick Rice(r) sharing Van Isle Dragways memories with fellow former racer Dennis Ireland(l) yesterday out at Dennis's home in Sooke with my future sign. I can't wait to meet Dennis soon. Dennis raced the Ireland/Walton 55 Chevy at Van Isle Dragways
I wanted to say a huge "Thank you" to friend Rick Rice for dropping me off these awesome pieces of memorabilia from Van Isle Dragways. These signs once were a part of the strip in Mill Bay and I thank Rick for allowing me to have these awesome pieces of memorabilia that I will certainly cherish! Thank you Rick for making my day and then some!

Join the VI Cruises crowd for the Hwy. 97 Wildfire Recovery Cruise, starting with a picnic in the Williams Lake Stampede Park on Sunday July 8 from 10:00 until 2:00 and consider finishing up the week at the 100 Mile House “Hot July Nights” show and shine on July 13, 14 and 15. If you can’t make Williams Lake, make sure you take in Hot July Nights!
