That road we raced on was in Cawston, just east of Keremeos.

"This next series of photos is from 1975 on a section of old highway between Osoyoos and Keremeos BC. A bunch of guys got together and made arrangements with local authorities to close it off a few times that summer for drag racing. Word got around and it was pretty well attended. Cars from the southern interior of BC, and a few Okanagan County, Washington cars ran there. No timing equipment at first, but a good time was had by all. I did relief flag starting duties, but mostly took photos. I did run my 4 spd W31 there for the one time it was open in 1976. It shut down after it was determined that the insurance that they had wasn't worth the paper it was printed on.
The local RCMP constable fully supported this as well. You'll see his police car in the background of a couple of the photos. (454 Biscayne ) Of course there was an ambulance and tow truck there too."

Hi John, I was fortunate enough to be on the 'Southern Garage Tour' a few weeks ago and were on that exact road. There have been some significant changes over the years but it still remains a beautiful part of BC. By the way my 55 Gasser and L72 Biscayne arrived last week but fortunately they transited through Calgary not Summerland (no abuse on the way) LOL.
