LANGLEY SPEEDWAY: Abandoned Historic Raceway

Langley Speedway was a 1/4-mile paved oval track used for stock car racing located in Langley, British Columbia. The track opened in 1965 and closed in 1984. The track hosted numerous classes of racing during its operational existence, including several visits from the NASCAR Winston West series in the 1970s. For the last few years prior to its closing due to its lease not being renewed, the track was known as Action Raceway. The Langley Speedway Historical Society (LSHS) has lobbied governments in the area to preserve the facility, holding clean-up events at and around the track. In 2006, the GVRD Parks Committee voted unanimously to support heritage listing of the speedway. The GVRD Board also voted unanimously to support the listing. In September 2006, the Council of the Township of Langley voted unanimously to include Langley Speedway on its Heritage Resource Listing. The LSHS is currently working with the GVRD staff and other interested groups in its efforts to preserve the site and promote it for various event uses, including car shows. #abandoned #abandonedplaces #langleybc #thruthegiftshop 🔴 SUBSCRIBE: https://tinyurl.com/exitsubscribe 🔴 🌐 Interactive Map: https://tinyurl.com/exitmaps 🌐 ⏰ TIMESTAMPS ⏰ 0:00 Abandoned Langley Speedway 0:06 History of the Langley Speedway 0:33 Campbell Valley Regional Park 1:00 Abandoned Langley Speed Track 1:40 Remains of the Langley Speedway ABOUT EXIT THRU THE GIFT SHOP Join me in exploring roadside attractions, museums, oddities, points of interest and other diversions before finally...exiting thru the gift shop.
