Halle (from left), Reece and Nash Overton have some fun with the air coming out of the back of the Cedar Rocket car on display at the Canadian Tire Show ‘n’ Shine Sunday.

The car, designed by the kids’ grandpa Gerald Overton, Louis Horschel and Bryan Reid Sr., is the current Guinness World Record holder for the world’s first and fastest log car.

The Cedar Rocket will be touring Canada and the U.S. this year, stopping at various trade shows and automotive events.

After its year long tour, the car will be auctioned off with all proceeds going to Yellow Ribbon America, Medal of Honor Foundation and other various veteran’s charities — a cause very dear to Reid.
