This past weekend marked the 25th Anniversary of the Lac La Biche Festival of speed. Every year there is a 'Media Race' featuring people from the media such as my self, Genevieve from 1310 CHLW, Chris Gill from 95.3 K-ROCK, Scott Campbell from Big Dog 103.5, Mark Cappis from The River 94.1, and some dude from "View Weekly" which is a free magazine out of Edmonton (damn memory).
Now if you are unfamiliar to what this is, it is a weekend event feature car racing, motor bike racing, and ski-doo drags, all on the lake. There are a few divisions for the car racing such as Chevette Rubber, Chevette Studded, and Neon Studded.
I raced in the Neon Studded category the last 2 years. Last year I was able to win quite easily as I got out front and didn't let up. I was presented a nice trophy which is proudly on display here at KOOL 101.3.
This year I went into the race with confidence riding high and was able to defend my title. It was a tougher race as the 'view' guy was on my tail and in front of me all race but when the checkered flag came down I was in front and was presented with my second straight 1st place trophy. It is a ton of fun and if you ever get a chance to race a car on ice DO IT!
Here is an aerial view of the track we raced around
I understand more pictures will be coming my way so when I get them I will post them on here as well as Facebook.
Next year I go for the "Three-pete"!

From what I hear, you're not happy with first place anymore, as you called up the third place winner today and tried to swindle him out of his third place trophy.
Look, Lee, if you want the third place trophy so bad, I will gladly kick your butt next year, but for now, let me enjoy the fact that I actually made the podium.
And from what I hear understand you have a tough time taking some ribbing
