Four car owners can claim to have the loudest vehicles in Pontiac after
results for the Absolute Sound & Security Stereo Competition were recently
announced.
The event took place last month at the sponsor’s place of business.
Calib Baxter, owner of Absolute Sound & Security, put on the event to raise
money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
The proceeds tallied $500 that Baxter ceremoniously gave MDA Tuesday
when he presented the check to his niece, Elizabeth Hallam. Hallam has
spinal muscular atrophy. The check will be sent to MDA.
Baxter said in June that this cause has special meaning to him and that
his car club goes to Peoria to help with the phone bank during the Labor Day
telethon.
“It went great,” Baxter said of the event. “I’d like to especially thank
all those who helped and the Pontiac Police Department.”
Paul Tharp won the Class 1 title. The speakers for this classification
had to be 8 inches to 23 inches. Ben Roe won class 2, which had speaker of
24 inches to 36 inches. The loudest in Class 3, which had speakers 37 inches
or larger, was Kevin Schneider. The Outlaw Class winner was Ken McDorman.
Baxter said Absolute Sound & Security hopes to continue to sponsor such
events in the future to raise money for MDA.
