Hi all,
As October nears the end, so does our appearances for 2014. We had a terrific year with all 4 cars as we didn’t experience any breakdowns or major issues. In all, we made 53 events starting with the Las Vegas Police and Fire shootout where we brought 2 trophies back to Canada. From there it was schools and community events until the IHRA Rocky Mountain Nationals at Castrol Raceway where we had 6 police cars make several side by side passes for around 15000 fans. The big celebrity was Sgt. Scott Graham with his beautiful LA County Sheriff’s 67 Barracuda.
Later in July we were part of the Edmonton Police Service parade of vehicles for the K-Days parade where there was a record 200,000 people lining up and down the city streets to see all the entries. As usual, the crowd gave us big “thumbs up” as we passed by. We continued to be busy with displays at Castrol Raceway where I had the opportunity to meet NASCAR racing legends; Kenny Wallace, Michael Waltrip and Kenny Schrader. Later in the year, we attended a MAC Tools event where we met and spent some time with Chip Foose. These were some memorable moments and make a lot of the work we do pleasurable.
We had also been requested by many members within the EPS who used our cars for an array of community events. Our city is growing tremendously (about 3200 people per month) so the cars are still very new to so many and loved by all.
At the end of the season, we were fortunate to team with Fleet FX, Arlon, and EM Plastics, who, took on the challenge to wrap our truck and trailer with a full size graphic. We are very excited to unveil it for the 2015 season as it will definitely make a profound statement where ever we park.
We are now gearing up to attend the SEMA show in Las Vegas, so those of you also attending, we will be seeing you next week.
I want to thank everyone for the support we received 2014 and look forward to seeing everyone in 2015.
Take care,
Sgt. Mike Wynnyk
