Growing up in Atikokan, we were invincible, Bill in about a 52 meteor car accompanied by Chester Draper & Ken Danard with Gradeon Bird would race around Cedar Crescent before there were any houses there. There was a deep ditch on the south side, full of water & Ken would drive through the ditch, Bill would follow going a little further in. Around they would go. Ken not to be undone, would go in a little further followed by Bill. About the 3rd time around Bill's headlight would disappear, as Ken came around again Bill & Chester were in the car in the ditch with water over the dash. Dropping the tailgate on the truck Ken backed into the driver's side window, Bill & Chester ( on crutches) crawled out of the car thru the window into the back of the truck. This put a wet damper on the evenings outing.
