[July
17th 2004]
After a long break in between stops on
the BFGoodrich Sport Compact Nights Canadian Tour,
Team SCP was back doing what they do best as the
SCN Tour set up shop in Saskatoon's Prairieland
Park. Saskatoon marked the second stop of the
SCN Tour and the first time in The 'Stoon, and
much to the surprise of the show organizers, vehicles
from all over Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba
showed up to compete in the Meguiar's Show 'N
Shine.
Those who braved the sweltering heat and tornado
warnings from Environment Canada (more on that
later) were treated to a show unlike any other
ever seen in Saskatoon. The Alpine Civic Si-R
lived up to its feature-car status, with show-goers
spending ample time carefully examining the workmanship
and creativity that went into the construction
of this one-of-a-kind creation. Title sponsor
BFGoodrich stocked their booth with some serious
horsepower including eventual Best Of Show winner
Nick Chow's Honda Prelude. Steve Austin's 93 RX-7
walked away with a few trophies, including the
Castrol Outperformer award and also taking home
Best Mazda and 3rd Place Best Of Show.
No show can succeed without the support of the
local tuner scene and Saskatoon was no different.
The RevTek Tuners, led by Aaron Facca and Colin
Schneider, took home Best Crew and Audio Warehouse/Auto
Xpressions showed off some of their homegrown
demo vehicles. Krazy Kiley's also represented
The Stoon with its Alpine-equipped Honda Del Sol
and Lambo-doored Honda Civic.

As the night drew to a close, Environment
Canada announced a severe weather warning
which forced spectators, competitors and
organizers into the lobby of Prairieland
Park until the proverbial smoke cleared.
After an abbreviated trophy ceremony,
the party continued at Club Overdrive.
Partygoers lived up to the name of the
club as the drinking was fast and furious,
a fitting end to a wild and crazy show.
Next Stop: EDMONTON.
