One terrifying time, I could not turn the stearing wheel anymore and it was very dangerous! I had no choice but to stop right on the spot, get out and show the big chunks who was really the boss!
But they sure taught me!

Is that really you?
I recall all the joking around about the bumper chunk kicking in the 60s. I was in high school.
As I recall there were rules to the contest, but I don’t recall what they were.
I work for the Lake City, MN Graphic, the local weekly newspaper, and am thinking about writing a column about chunk kicking, since we hav such an exceptional season for.
I would love to hear more of your recollections.
Thanks

It was in the 1960′s. We formed The International Association of Professional Chunk Kickers (IAPCK.) WCCO’S 50,000 watts of clear channel power aroused thouands of compulsive kickers. Chunk Kicking even became part of the yearly St. Paul Winter Carnival. Randy and I had a kicking match with Minnesota’s Governor, broadcast live.

Well, was compelled to do it by some kinda OCD mechanism. But very very satisfying! Now I live on the west coast where it never snows. I guess the equivalent here would be scraping moss off a roof??
