The Horsepower Hooligans car club hosted its second annual swap meet and first-time car Smash ‘n Grab Sunday at the Williams Lake Stampede Grounds.

HH president John-Paul Albinati said the event was a “smashing” success, as the club raised $600 from the car smash to donate to muscular dystrophy research.

“A lot of people who saw the car at the car show made sure to come see it off [last weekend],” he said.

Here, club member and friend of Albinati’s, Westen Becker, takes his turn smashing the car.

“We chose muscular dystrophy because a good friend’s son, Westen, has it and we have seen the difficulties caused and he is the coolest kid you’ll meet.”
