girls, nine and under, 10-12 and 13
to 15. No girls entered the contest.
Ben Finlayson won first prize in
the most competitive category, the
boys 10-12 grouping that featured
four competitors on three cars.
Murray Fell of Petrolia was second.
Because two brothers sharing the
same car, David and Chris Arm
strong, were the only entrants inthe
13-15 age group, Ben Finlayson
was elevated to the class to provide
competition. He proceeded to beat
both brothers in heats to win the
senior category as well.
In addition he won the prize for
the best decorated rutabuggy in a
Rutabaga Festival theme.
In the boys nine and under,
Anthony deBoer beat out his broth
er Raymond to take first place.
They were the only two entries.
