LOFTING THE FRONT end of his ‘86 Nissan truck off the start line was Peachland’s Phil Walter at Richter Pass Motorplex in Osoyoos, BC. Walter and his opponent, Warren Brown (‘02 Kawasaki are a well-matched set as two of the fastest vehicles on Osoyoos’ tarmac. DAN HODSON
Peachland’s Phil Walter claims Super Pro trophy The Wine Country Racing Association (WCRA) had their final drag racing event of the 2016 season yesterday at Richter Pass Motorplex. It was a time for one last kick at the can before all of the vehicles are tucked away, and Old Man Winter makes an appearance in the South Okanagan Valley. What a kick it was. More than 60 drivers and a nice showing of fans turned out on the Thanksgiving weekend to have some fun with friends and family. Track regular, Phil Walter and his 1986 Nissan truck made his way down the valley with a nice surprise under his hood for everyone. The black and white truck delighted everyone in attendance with its new high-wheeled launches from the starting line. To say that the Super Pro winner had daylight under his tires was an understatement of a lifetime. One fan in the grandstands could be heard announcing, “that’s high enough to walk under!” When Walter was asked if the truck slams down after the wheelie he commented, “No! It’s quite gentle going back down! You’d be surprised!” Sportsman Bracket: Jason Kirton from Penticton (1982 Chevrolet S-10) beat Penticton’s Bryce Russell (1994 Lincoln Marquis) to the winners’ circle. Pro Bracket:

Paul Fode (1970 Plymouth Cuda) from Kelowna, BC fell to Gary Conto (1967 Camaro). Conto brought his ride from Westbank, BC to take home the prize. Super Pro: Wheel-standing Phil Walter (1986 Nissan truck) from Peachland, BC zipped away with the Super Pro trophy, besting Levi Weiberg from Grand Forks, BC (1981 Buick ). Bike/Sled: Penticton, BC’s Steve Clement (2003 Arctic Cat) beat out Oliver, BC’s Warren Brown (2002 Kawasaki). Reaction Time: Phil Walter (1986 Nissan truck) was on his game this weekend. An absolutely PERFECT reaction time of .500 is just one more bit of proof. Ron Tasker Memorial Trophy: Brad Quwek from Bruderheim, AB (1973 Astra) was awarded the Sportsman of the Year Trophy. Brad is a gentleman that is always ready to lend a hand or offer up strong competition. His kind manner and easy smile are a pleasure for everyone that meets him. A big thank you goes out to the club, racers, volunteers, sponsors and fans for a fantastic racing season. Ending on a high makes it harder to wait until spring for the next event.

every Monday at noon with Kay. On Thursday Kay also offers an “Iron & Silk” class at 10:45 which is very popular with our Seniors – this involves a chair, very light weights, silk scarves and gentle movements. At our Potluck Friday September 23, Lucy Blu was fabulous. They provided entertainment through dinner and another set following. We can’t wait to have them back. Our Potluck Friday in October is on the 28th. Triskele, Celtic Musicians & Singers, are back by popular demand. They are from West Kelowna and use their profits for humanitarian work in Mexico. As October 28 is almost Halloween, we invite you to wear a costume to Potluck Friday – there will be prizes. Everyone is welcome; including non members, families and children. Bring a favourite food item to share along with your own dishes and cutlery. Cost is by donation. The Westside Health Network stopped in to share information about their MediWatch system
at our last Potluck. Containers are now available from the office at the 50+ Activity Centre. In a nutshell: you keep your medical information in a small labelled container inside on your fridge door and post the provided sticker on the outside of your fridge. Emergency responders are aware to watch for these stickers. These are especially helpful for Seniors who live alone. Mark your calendars: The annual Flu Clinic is scheduled for November 2 from 12 noon to 4 pm at the 50 + Activity Centre. We are still looking for more Duplicate Bridge players. Lessons are offered Wednesdays at noon with a game following. Call Marv at 250 767-6446. Its time to book your Christmas Parties, we still have rental dates available.
