SIDEBAR...
April 2018 Winnipeg World of Wheels, Hot Rod Drag Week 2017 Winner Dave Schroeder is originally from Winnipeg. His cousin, mechanic and co-pilot on Drag Week is John Ens from Winnipeg.

Several buddies are friends with John and Dave... The car was currently in Winnipeg and with the promise of our help for the weekend, we twisted John's arm to put the car in the show. Unfortunately Dave was unable to make the trip.

Big John with Ken Murray who does the engine work on the Reher Morrison 872



After the show, we were tearing down the display while John went for the truck and trailer... Next thing I know John says get in you're driving it out!
None of the other guys fit in the car, BONUS !!!
Not only was I driving it out, I had to go about 6-7 Blocks to get to where John left the trailer. He wanted a picture with the Parliament Building.
Holding it back on the brakes almost the whole time, close to freezing temps, no jacket, still sweating.



Another Highlight of the show was a couple of Bob Marvin's cars from "The Shed" collection. Real Yenko 67 427 camaro !! Beautiful !!
