Once again were going to fire up the Drag & Cruise season with possibly
the coolest Cacklefest in the entire Northwest, April 25 & 26 at the B.C.
Custom Car Show at the Tradex in Abbotsford B.C. with shows at 2 & 9 p.m.
on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Last year's show was so successful that Saturday's attendance shattered
the all-time attendance record and this year we're back and we're
bigger and badder than ever before.

For the first time ever it's your chance to get up close and personal
with what could be one of the most legendary cars in the history of the
Northwest. Yes my friend, you've seen it fly, now see it cackle as Twig
Ziegler and his Pizza Haven funny car invade our country and our sinuses.

Towing in from Spokane for the first time is the 1965 Eagle Electric Fueler
that was originally shoed by Frank Rupert. As a special treat the original
"1965 Ford Push Car" will also be in attendance! (Weren't push starts
the best?)

Be sure to Lock Up Your Grandmothers? as Wayne The "Peregrine"
King will be flying in to fire up the car that snatched the Smokers-field
Top Fuel crown in 1963.

Wayne King's car lights up the Abbotsford night at last year's show!
Don Love will be hitting the starter button on the beautiful 'Kansas' John
Wiebe digger and the Northwest Terror his-self Mr. Herm Petersen will be
there to belch fire from the pipes of the impeccable restoration of the
last front-motored car that he ever owned.

Then there's the amazing Bradford Fiat Fuel Altered of the
ever-lovable Randy Bradford and his wife, and a reminder
of the Southern California Junior Fuel wars as Jerry 'The Ruth' King
brings his snarling, juice-guzzling, injected small block to assault your
senses.

The King of Customizers George Barris sat in the car last year (his first
time in a dragster ironically) and just about died.

He may not want to try it again but he will be in attendance all weekend as
will one of the coolest couples in the automotive universe as we are
delighted to spend another weekend with Chip Foose and his gorgeous wife
Lynn.

But wait, there's more! The minute we hit the kill-switch on the
Cackle we move to the other side of the Tradex building for some fire and
smoke as we double on last years raving success as you will witness a side
by side, burning popping extravaganza with 2 Jet Funny Cars fired up on
the grass Saturday night at 9 and Sunday afternoon at 2.

Come early and stay late, grab an autograph from our Legends,
George Barris or "Overhaulin's", Chip Foose.

Always in April, and loaded with Cars, Stars & Guitars don't miss the
13th Annual BC Custom Car Show!
