Stock car feud ends as Medicine Hat declines 1967 track
Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede Company directors last night voted not to build a stock car track at the stampede grounds in 1967. The Redcliff Auto Racing Association sought minutes amended to read would not build in 1967, but directors refused and said season timing made construction impossible. Stampede secretary Bill Roseboom and vice president Larry David framed the outcome as ending a personal feud, with Medicine Hat racers likely racing in Lethbridge instead of Redcliff this year.
