ROCK’N RED DEER SUPER RUN 2018 Registration is now open online for Rock’n Red Deer Super Run 2018. Super Run 2018 will be held in Red Deer, July 30th to August 5th. Traditionally a fairly good sized group of us go down on the Thursday for the festivities on Thursday, Friday, and the show on Saturday and Sunday. A good sized group of us are staying at the Red Deer Western Budget Hotel #2 for any members who want to stay there and get to know your fellow cruisers. There may still be some rooms left. The phone number is 403-347-2177. Registration for Super Run is open and can be done online at www.rocknreddeer.com/. If you think you might want to go down earlier, there are a number of event cruises happening from Monday on. Registration is limited to 750 vehicles and the Friday evening downtown cruise is super cool. If you haven’t been to a Super Run, you should take the opportunity to take this in. PRO TRUCK SHOP NIGHT Want to take a look under your classic car, hot rod, or muscle car but not too eager to get down on all fours to do it? Why not take advantage of Shop Night at Pro Truck Garage. Just call in ahead of time and reserve a time for you to drive over and put your car up on a hoist to check out the underside for only a donation to Jumpstart Charities. Just call Payton, Kayla, or Kevin at 780-509-6080 to arrange a time. You can book a hoist effective April 12th.

MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND DISBURY FUEL-A-PALOOZA 2018

The Didsbury Car Show is one of the earliest and is well attended with as many as 800 cars coming in to the show. This year the number was over 500 and filled both sides of the street downtown for 8 city blocks. I had heard about the show an wanted to see it for myself so we took the red car down. Marlene and I went down on Friday and registered before going on the cruise to Olds. We were able to have a good visit with my cousin who lived in Didsbury. Saturday morning the cars started being parked at 7 AM. We got parked and cleaned up the car and then took a walk (one of many) to look at the cars. Most of them were new to me. There were a good number of newer muscle cars like the dodge hellcats, mustang, corvettes, and cameros but I was interested in the older ones. Bob & Marlene Simpson
