Back in 2022, Bob Giesbrecht and Randy Reimer travelled to Cavango, Angola, with Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) to construct an airstrip that would give locals better access to essential supplies and healthcare. Knowing how much of a difference it made in many peoples’ lives, they returned earlier this year to offer further aid. 

Giesbrecht and Reimer grew up on the same Steinbach street. Little did they know that their friendship, and the games they played as children, would one day provide a lifeline for tens of thousands of people half a world away.

Not a day goes by when the Shippelt family isn’t thinking about powersports. Or revving their own dirt bikes. Or providing ATV sales and service to everyone else. For these owners of S5 Powersports in Rocky Mountain House, they’re enthusiasts first and dealers second.

“We used quads back when I was a kid growing up on the farm,” recalls S5 owner Wes Shippelt. “When I got a bit older, I got into dirt biking and have been racing bikes for the last 20 years. It’s our day-to-day, our work as well as our recreation.”

A timing system, a track, and powerful vehicles will be the constituent parts of an event that is sure to thrill this weekend. Altona Municipal Airport will host charity drag races, and this year, perhaps spectators will witness a record-breaking run.
