| When
the members of PCA Polar region get together, a good time
is had by all -- and this year's Annual Banquet and Awards
Night proved no exception to that rule. The faces of
those attending tell the story.
And the Winners Are ...
In
addition to great conversation and laughs, Autocross
Director Barry Ryziuk presented the awards for the last
autocross season.

And
for a Little After-dinner Entertainment ...
Following
the autocross awards, Newsletter Editor Bob Drew presented a
slide show that included some great CanAm memories from the
early days of Edmonton Speedway (circa the 1970s), as well
as a look back at our last season. As part of that,
there were a few miscellaneous awards ...
