“Roundy Rounding” from my memories
Bunny Jeboult
When Andy Digney opened his speedway on MacPherson Street in Burnaby in the late ‘40s, it was my ‘place to be’ most Friday and Saturday nights. If you showed your
‘Student’s Card’ Andy gave us teens a break and I often rode my bike to get there. I loved the “Hot Rod’ races and Dave Clark’s ‘8 Ball’, a ’32 hi-boy was my favorite.
Dave was a hard charger, but often broke, it was Larry McBride who took it to the winner’s circle most of the time. The rods were sparse in number, racing parts were hard to get, expensive and the ‘purse’ was pretty light.
