1966
Ken took a road trip to California and saw drag racing and came back and built a dragster, a “C-Gas” dragster with an injected 327cid small block Chevy engine. Ken raced the car in Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg and was also the first car to go down the new Saskatoon drag strip, Southwind’s Dragway (now Saskatchewan International Raceway). He was hooked on racing.
