Oliver car club looks to even the score

Kelowna Kustoms: 2
Okanagan Rodtiques (Penticton): 2
Coachmasters (Oliver/Osoyoos): 1

By looking at the scores, one would have to assume that the home team down at Richter Pass Motorplex (Osoyoos airport) may have an axe to grind.

The volunteers of the Wine Country Racing Association (WCRA) are busy getting set to host the sixth annual Rumble in the Valley car club challenge September 27th.

Any club interested in joining the excitement brings their best cars and brightest drivers in an attempt to drag home the coveted trophy and prize money. The day is filled with things car enthusiasts live for: side by side 1/8 mile drag racing, loads of beautiful vehicles, friendly people and never-ending good natured competition.

Dalin Haryett of Red Deer, AB drove his black 1941 Ford to the winner’s circle on behalf of the Kelowna Kustoms. Certainly the other two car clubs have different plans for this year’s outcome.

The gates open at 9 a.m. Any fully licensed driver can come register. Their vehicle must pass through a safety technical inspection. Show up early to avoid missing any runs down the track.

Racing starts around 11 a.m. Final elimination round begins at 1 p.m. Concessions are available on site. Fans can fill the grandstands or bring their own lawn chair.
