The chuckwagons were fast and furious last night in High River as the Battle of the Foothills kicked off.
High River's Jason Glass, coming off the huge win at the Calgary Stampede, ended up in seventh after one night of racing.
He was in the 8th heat where Chanse Vigen flew down the track and ended up with the top time of the night, 1:16.00.
Jamie Laboucane, last year's Battle of the Foothills champion, ended up just behind Vigen in second.
The wagons will hit the track again starting at 7:00 p.m. with gates and the beer garden opening at 5:00 p.m.
