Milt had a unique hot rod in 1954. It was an English 1949 Ford Anglia with an American Ford V8 60 engine. He displayed the car at car shows and drag raced it at Abbotsford Airport in 1955.

Milt joined the British Columbia Custom Car Association (BCCCA) in 1954 and served as club photographer for many years. He served on the exec-utive committee during the late 1950s.

In late 1955, Milt bought one of the hot new 1955 Chev Bel Air cars. He raced it to several stock class wins at Abbotsford Airport. Milt made many modifications to the Chevy over the next three years and displayed it at the Motorama car shows.

In 1957, Milt teamed up with good friends Denny Clarke and John Ashton to assemble a Chev V8 powered drag-ster, which they named The Big Three. They raced the dragster to many wins at Abbotsford Airport, and displayed it at motor shows.

In the 1960s, Milt started racing go-karts. He took to it naturally and was soon winning races. In 1963, he won the championship at the Westwood go kart circuit.

Milt decided to go full-size at Westwood and acquired a sponsorship from Zephyr Mercury to race a Mercury
