28/06: DURHAM'S RAIN BROUGHT OUT "SMILESHINE"
June 26,2010 was a great day for P.T.C.
It was on this day that P.T.C.s hometown of Durham,Ontario Canada.celebrated it's return,and to host
the ever Ride-A-Long,in the area the car came from.
Last year,at almost this time,the talk was of a tornado,that ravaged the community.
This year the local citizens where talking about their
special race car that was making international news.
Thanks to Chief Rene Berger,West Grey Police Service,and
Fire Chief Phil Schwartz,of West Grey Fire Service.
With their assistance,I took the wheel of the P.T.C. car,
and was escorted through the streets of this wonderful little community in rural Ontario.
The P.T.C. convoy also include the Pace Truck from Sauble
Speedway.
The purpose of the convoy was to move the car from one
location in town to the site of P.T.C.s 26th Ride-A-Long,
located at the Durham Community Arena.
P.T.C. would like to THANK the arena staff,and Angi Becker of the Durham Lions Club,for the great job setting up the parking lot for the huge number of riders with
special needs who braved the heavy rain showers to have a ride in the P.T.C. car.
Some had travelled from as far away as Exeter,and Meaford
Ontario.A good hours drive,in one direction.
The Ride-A-Long,also featured the area's mayor,Mayor Kevin
Eccles behind the wheel.Along with him,a long time supporter of P.T.C.,and news reporter Chris Clark of the
Mount Forest Confederate,(Ont,Can)
As a resident of Durham,(2 years),it was a very special
treat for me to share my concept,and the support of ALL
my friends,to this great community.
My deepest THANKS! to the many drivers from Sauble
Speedway who helped,along with Jason Thom,track owner.
THANK YOU!,Dale McArthur,and Wendy Bye (Varney Speedway)
for bringing your very dear son Wyatt,for his first ride
in the car while in his wheelchair.
To the 100% of the ALL the shops,and stores in Durham,
I am most grateful for your tremendous support,by way of donations.
God Bless you ALL!
