Local race care driver David Richert took two Winnipeg Jets and an Olympian gold medalist for the ride of their lives on September 10 at the Gimli Motorsports Park. Jets centre Mark Scheifele, goalie Michael Hutchinson, and freestyle skier Dara Howell hit speeds upward of 170 kilometres per hour.
"I had a lot of trust in him," says Scheifele. "It was crazy, though. I was just hoping I wouldn't throw up. That was my main focus."
The event was organized by KidSport Winnipeg, an organization that helps remove financial barriers preventing children from playing organized sports.
