The president of the Igniters Car Club, Gary Rantala, presented this year’s MSRA (Montana Street Rod Association) award to Rick Blomdahl of Troy.

Blomdahl is this year’s People’s Choice Award during the Ignite the Nites Week in September. The MSRA award was presented later.

Blomdahl’s 1935 International pickup meets all the requirements for this award:

• Montana licensed

• Demonstrates an intentional design

• Excellent workmanship

• Exemplifies pride in its show condition

• It is a hot rod

Congratulations to Rick for a job well done.

“Thank you, Libby, for allowing us to put on the best car show in northwest Montana,” Rantala said.
