Bonnyville Chuckwagon Races Final for 2012

It's all over but the planning for next year's event. Great Weather, Excellent crowds of people and a new track record capped off an exciting four days of racing in north eastern Alberta.

Kirk Sutherland established a new fastest time on the the track with a final day run of 1:15:20 besting the previous record set by Mike Vigen in 2011 by just 1/100ths of a second. That run along with two other first place finishes and a second place finish on the first night gave him the best aggregate time of the race meet. His total time of 5:11:49 beat that of John Walters who posted a total of 5:12:75 over the four days. Close behind was wiley veteran "The Bashaw Flash" Reg Johnstone with an aggregate time of 5:13:47.

Sutherland and his outriders - Dustin Gorst and Chance Flad, picked up a championship George Normand Memorial buckles for the win plus Kirk got to drive away in a 2012 GMC diesel courtesy of a few of the main sponsors including; Tercier Motors, B & R Eckel's Transport, CSI Safety, Sign Solutions and MoKo Transport among others.
