This will also be the first appearance in a WPCA championship final heat for Ridsdale.

Winner of the night money went to Mike Vigen’s outfit, however it was his son Chanse posting a Saturday-best time of 1:01.58 as his father could not drive due to injury.

The final day of chuckwagon action gets underway at the Stampede Grounds at 2:00 pm, with Walters, McCurrach, and Ridsdale all competing in the ‘Dash for Cash.’
