From NICKLELODEON”S NICKY, RICKEY, DICKEY & DAWN show
The first weekend in February is
always reserved for the first big
indoor car show in South Dakota,
Sioux Falls in this case. It is the annual WINTERFEST of WHEELS.
The other news is that Ole Man
Winter has his way in the eastern
Even Rat Rods can be cool This is a different rod Wild 1931 Chevrolet
part of SD. This year was no different with VERY slippery roads. The
good news was it wasn’t too bad on
move in day so they had a great selection of Rods, Customs , Machines
and Trucks along with a variety of
bikes.
Denny Henrikson was fortunate
enough to make the trip with his

Air hardtop.
Thanks to Denny for furnishing all
these “cool” photos of some of the
cars on display at this quality show.
Awards are not given for best of
class and the profits from the show
go to Kids Cure For Cancer.
This RARE ‘62 Bubble Top sported a RARE 427 When have you seen a
convertible Judge?
Several of the cars stayed in Sioux
Falls until coming to the Counts
show held 2 weeks later due to the
extreme weather on Sunday and
Monday.
Denny will attest to how slippery it
was pulling a loaded trailer down
Interstate 90 with a strong wind
pushing you all over the road.
Denny’s interest in eary ‘60’s Impalas is evident
Rare Classic ?
He saw many accidents and had
some close calls himself! That reminds us of 3 years ago when 3
Counts members took 3 cars to
Winterfest and had the same experience coming home, right Steve,
Floyd and Bob!
At least everybody made it home
safe both times!
Nice 1970 SS Chevelle ‘Shades of the 50’s Merc Another cool classic

The COUNTS are planning a trip to San Diego, California to take part in the 43rd. Annual
Over The Hill Gangs STREAK to be held at Campland on the Bay in San Diego, California over
Mothers Day Weekend 2016. May 6th, 7th, and 8th.
This is going to take much planning on all club members parts. If you plan to attend you need to
send in an entry form by the end of MARCH 2015. Those needing motel reservations in San Diego
will have help finding a place to stay by the group that was here for our Black Hills Rod Run last
July!
Skip has done a lot of pre planning so we can all cruise at about 350 miles a day in a group for
safety and convenience sake and stay overnight at specific locations and arrive in San Diego on
May 6th. In time to enjoy the beach festivities from start to finish. The plans are to travel on mostly 2 lane roads so it won’t be so boring as traveling on Interstate Highways that far.
For sale 2014 MTC 20' plus V enclosed trailer...floors and
ramps recently painted with white grip paint...new winch and
deep cell battery...10 extra tie downs added...with new
spare...only 3500 miles, no accidents, no hail. $8800. Also
