Gord Hidber brought his 1955 Chevy back to where it came from July 1st and took his 3rd straight ‘Peoples Choice’ award at the Kitimat July 1st Show & Shine. Previous ‘People’s Choice’ awards were presented to Hidber in Prince Rupert at the Seafest Show & Shine and the Fathers Day Show& Shine in Terrace.
The ‘Peoples Choice’ is the hardest Award to garner, as it is voted by the public.
Hidber took home Three First place awards including ‘Best 50′s’ and ‘Participants’.
Another Rupert resident who participated in the Threefest was Sandy Menzies. Menzies brought his 1968 Camero and garnered a First in ‘Best 60′s, a Second in ‘Peoples Choice’ and a Second in ‘Participants’.
Drag Racing is the main theme this weekend, as the Second of four dates this year, runs at the Terrace/Kitimat Airport. If the Season Opener in May was any indication we should be treated to a great weekend of racing.
‘King of the YXT’ and ‘Gamblers’ will be run Saturday and Sunday will have regular ‘Bracket Classes’.
Prince Rupert racer Kham Shantz leads the year long points series in ‘Super Pro’ Class with 85 points and Terry Frizzell is tied for 7th place with four other racers at 31 points.
