Things are starting to really get serious in Smoky Lake and some big weights are arriving every year, even with our stupid climate. Congrats everyone!

And Eddy, it just wasn't the same without you. You were indeed missed! Hope to see you there next year.

Great Weigh-off! Congrats to John Lobay for the win and the new Alberta record. Probably not much left of the vehicle Dons 1180 cratered.

Congrats to John and Alan! Always a great time. Sure did miss the Iceman though. I uploaded some pics of the car crushing pumpkin drop to my diary. There definitely was an earth shattering kaboom!
