August 2nd, 1977 — While watching the 1977 Gastown Grand Prix, spectators were able to sip a beer as they sat on the curb next to the many sidewalk cafes around the course. Very civilized, very European, it would be nice if those days came back. In the picture below, the winner of the 1977 race, Lawrence Malone from San Francisco, does a parade lap along Water Street. The 2012 Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix takes place Wednesday, July 11 at 6pm.
