Thunder Mountain Speedway hosted its awards banquet, dance and annual general meeting to a sold out crowd Oct. 18 at the Elks Hall.
After a successful season of racing local drivers, and even drivers from as far away as Prince George and Quesnel, gathered to find out who the respective winners were in each racing class.
Several local businesses donated items for a silent auction, which TMS outgoing president Tim Westwick said was greatly appreciated.
Prior to the awards banquet TMS hosted its 57th annual general meeting.
“A new look came together to help form the 2015 TMS executive,” Westwick said.
Former serving president Bob Lowen will be taking over the presidency again, while veteran Tim Taylor will be the vice president.
Kane Fraser joined the board of directors alongside John Haynes, Annaka Richter, Marius Dunford, Latisha Kirechuk, Lynn Dunford, Arnie Kunka and Shawn Knott.
Westwick, meanwhile, will be focusing his efforts in helping run the revived and successful Tri-City Racing Series that saw almost 30 cars take to the track this year at the season-ending race at Quesnel’s Fall Classic.
