In 2015, I picked up some 8mm films at a garage sale in Coquitlam.
After viewing the films, I decided to transfer and return them to the filmmaker, Bob Davis, as they were too good to miss! I believe the films started around 1969, and you can see a brand new YVR terminal in one of the clips. The drag strip is in Mission, BC, now confirmed to be shot in 1973. Update in the comments if you recognize more details in the film.
Here's a quick rundown of the film:
Vintage Car Club Meet
Acadian & Delivery Truck
Dragstrip Racing 1973
Down & Out in Victory Square
YVR 1969
Log Jam on the Fraser River, New Westminster
