The Billy Barker Days festival was cancelled in 2016 due to the wildfires.
Price beat out 36 other vehicles in his #96.
He also won a dash and a heat race leading up to the win in the main.
For the second year in a row Dylan Apps, in the #55, was the runner-up.
Third was captured by Williams Lake’s Gord Bettles.
In qualifying there were 42 cars timed in, and for the main 37 cars made it, both setting a record for car counts.
There’s racing Saturday night at Goldpan Speedway for the Billy Barker Days weekend as well.
