Sorry I could not make it to Medicine Hat. The car is getting a fresh Jerico. No more granny shifting that toploader for me. Hope to be ready real soon.

Take care,,,,,,,Danny Durham

Hey Danny when I was talking with Clarence he said he got the car from Abe Loewen in 1979 and Abe had gotten it from John Irving before that.

Allan good to hear you are joining the 21st century haha look forward to seeing your double nickel out soon.

A couple of post event notes, Clarence Bidniak won and Ernie Penner r/up on saturday, Sunday winners were to be determined when my pregnant wife couldnt take the heat anymore (early exit). There was some carnage as Tom Skjonsberg broke some rocker stands ,Darrel Dietz had something scarring his supercharger ,and Phil Archibald figures he hurt the mill in the vette. For our last qualifier this morning there was a wagger between G.P. and C.B. for best RT........they had the worst ones out of the whole combo......hehe, great event, great weather, too bad I had to lose three times to tight races but oh well next time it was still fun all around.

It was hot weekend typical of the Open and a big congratulations to Saturdays winner Clarence Bidniak and runner up Ernie Penner and the Sunday wine for Ernie and runner up Mike Semeniuk. It was a good weekend with lots of laughs and Carla and myself look forward to seeing hopefully all of you in a month at Thunder in The Valley.
