On March 7th, after a shortened monthly meeting, some of the members of the Edmonton & Area 567 Club cruised on over to Speeders Go-Karts to participate in the 1st ever “Edmonton & Area 567 Club’s Mini Grand Prix nite “.

There were 8 members & two guests that had shown up, once we all got suited up, there was a 14 lap practice/qualifier session then the 14 “hot Lap” final.. Once we all got our fill of screeching tires, aggressive driving, paint exchanging & bumper tag behind us.. The top 3 were decided, we all had fun & the competition was “stiff'.

After the dust had settled , the “top Three” were named. They are as follows :

  • 1st place – Andrew Cornish ( Don’s son & guest) aka “Slowpoke”

  • 2nd place – Mike Pettigrew aka “Rusty Nuts”

  • 3rd-place – Daymion Weiss aka “Greasy D”

As I stated earlier, IT WAS FUN !!! and we do hope that we can do it all over again but with more participants.. Here are some “pics” of the Night. Thank-you to Lori Reykdal, Laurie Cornish & Linda Kennedy For your contributions !!
