MOPAR MADNESS The 27th Annual Mopar Madness Car Show (July 8) was a huge success this year. It was a beautiful sunny day for Mopar owners to showcase their awesome rides for hundreds of spectators to admire and drool over. The show featured over 160 vehicles registered to compete for trophies in 33 different categories. Also enjoyed by all was a commercial midway with local sponsors and vendors...and let s not forget the great tastes from the specialty food trucks! Club President, Ray Myles, stated the continuous dedication of Mopars Unlimited Club members in hosting the largest and best Mopar show in Western Canada for 27 years, is a heritage to be proud of (quote shared from interview with the Langley Advance ) Open for business! It s all about delegation page 2

A Letter To Mopars Unlimited Car Club I recently received the letter below from Sue (organizer and founder of this show) and was asked to pass it along to the rest of the club members. This was the first show Karin and I took Duke to. In 2016 we were out for the maiden cruise and stopped at Campbell Valley Park where we first met Sue and after talking for a bit, Sue invited us to BurnOuts In The Sky. This will be the third year for us and we would encourage anyone who enjoys a car show with great live entertainment, friendly people, and supporting a terrific cause, to attend this show. Jim & Karin We are getting ready to celebrate our 6th year, BurnOuts in the Sky Bradley McPherson Memorial Show and Shine. Our plan is to continue to strive to expand and bring awareness to the community of this event and its cause. We are now gearing up to our 6 th Annual show and as we have advertised it in years past thru flyers and posters and visiting all our fellow car shows to meet fellow enthusiasts at other events and support them as well. This year we wanted to go on a more personal level and directly contact the car clubs in the lower mainland and beyond. We want to personally invite you all, to this Show & Shine and introduce you to our cause. The Bradley McPherson Memorial Show & Shine is a memorial car show in memory of Brad. He loved everything with wheels, was a true car and truck enthusiast. His future was going to be in the high performance auto technician field. But his life was taken from him on December 24, 2011. If you want to read more you are welcome to read the vast amount of social media available online. But I have attached the brief story to this email as well. All we ask is that you talk amongst yourselves and fellow club members and please join us at this year s show. We will be celebrating even bigger this year as the trial will have come to an end finally and Justice will be served in memory of Brad. Pre-registration is available as well as car club recognition ie: trophy s We know there are so many shows to choose from and many you attend year after year, please put this one on your list. Thank you, Sue Wunderlich-Simning Click below to go to the FB page: Burnout's in the Sky page 5
