Wetaskiwin 05 EVERYONE HAS TOLD ME THAT NICOLE AND THE GANG FROM WETASKIWIN CAN REALLY PUT ON A GOOD WEEKEND, AND MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME. NOW I'M PASSING THE MESSAGE ON TO YOU! WSDA HAS DONE THIS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW AND HAVE REALLY NAILED IT DOWN. VERY RESPECTFUL TO EVERYONE AND YET NOT A BUNCH OF SOFTIES! HATS OFF TO EVERYONE FOR BRAVING THE COLD. A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THE VOLUNTEERS THAT BUNDLED UP FOR THE EVENT! IT SEEMED THAT THE WEATHERMAN WAS IN OUR FAVOR ON SATURDAY, WHEN THE SUN BROKE OUT FOR THE AFTERNOON. BUT SUNDAY, HE BLEW IT. THE STRONG WIND AND GLOOMEY CLOUDS KEPT THE FANS AWAY, BUT DIDN'T DAMPEN THE SPIRITS OF EITHER THE RACERS OR THE ORGANIZERS. THE FATHER AND SON DUO OF THE TINKER FAMILY DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB FOR BEAR GREASE RACING AND I WOULD IMAGINE THAT RENE AND THE GANG ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR SHOWING AT THE FIRST MAJOR EVENT OF THE WINTER. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE EVERYBODY AGAIN AND GOOD TO MEET A BUNCH OF NEW ENTHUSIASTIC RACERS. SOME MAY BE A LITTLE TOO ENTHUSIASTIC, AS ONE CHAP GOT CAUGHT IN TECH. THERE WERE TWO TEAR DOWNS AND ONE GOT DINGED! I SUPPOSE THAT ONCE A PERSON HAS DONE IT AND GOT AWAY WITH IT, ITS ALWAYS WORTH A TRY! THIS BOTHERS ME, BECAUSE THE SAID PERSON HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN ADMINSTRATION OF DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS IN A BIG WAY! BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! YOU HAVE ALL HEARD WHAT MY COMMENTS ARE ON THIS SUBJECT, SO I PUT IT TO REST! SHARK STILL RULES THE WATERS IN WETASKIWIN! BUT LOTS OF OTHER BIG FISH LOOKING TO TAKE THE THRONE. COULD IT BE THAT I PUT THE BUG IN SOMEBODYS EAR. THE BIG MONEY WAS EARNED BY DOUG N RICK AND COULD NOT HAVE GONE TO A COUPLE OF BETTER GUYS! WAY TO GO ON KEEPING THE NUMERO UNO POSITION! I WANTED TO SAY HI TO BILL CHADWICK FROM CRESTON BC. HIS MILE HIGH RACING TEAM DID A SUPER JOB ON "OLD YELLER 2". THEY HAD JUST FINISHED PUTTING IT TOGETHER BEFORE THE RACES, AND HAD NOT HAD A CHANCE TO TEST IT. A VERY DEVILISH AND TRICK SLED! 150 SLEDS ON SUCH A COLD WEEK IS A TESTAMENT TO THE REPUTATION OF WETASKIWIN! A BIG THANKS TO MY SPONSORS, KELLY GRAPHICS, REBELSLED RACING AND HOGG WILD RACING, AND TO NICOLE, KENT AND THE WSDA, FOR ALL THEIR HELP AND SUPPORT! Rick - April 18, 2006
