2011-12 Classic Car Adventures Events

April 27 – April 29, 2012
Spring Thaw Classic Car Adventure (4th Annual)
The Spring Thaw is a budget-minded 3-day, 1200km driving adventure through British Columbia for pre-1979 touring and sportscars. This is for those who enjoy spirited driving on some of the most challenging and beautiful roads in the world. Concours cars are more than welcome, but we also encourage those less-than-mint, hard-driven, budget classics to take part. As anyone who’s been on the Spring Thaw will tell you, the cars are cool…but it’s the people that keep us coming back. The 4th Annual edition will be starting from Hope in 2012.

Classic Rag Run(2nd Annual)
Save all your old car magazines from the cruel hand of the recycler, and bring them on the Rag Run! This is a free-to-enter event for classic cars, featuring a short (approximately 1hr) drive on some of the Fraser Valley’s finer twisty roads before gathering for lunch and a chance to trade car magazines with other participants. A donation to the food bank is the only requirement.

August 5-7, 2011
Rush to Gold Bridge (aka “Heaven is Hell to Drive To”)
The Rush to Gold Bridge returns enthusiasts to a time when remote roads, sheer drop-offs and untouched scenery were the order of the day. It’s just you, your tools, your wits, and hopefully a helping hand from the car behind you. Meant for the truly adventurous, this event will feature some gravel roads and a semi-rustic Wild West atmosphere.

Sea to Sky Thanksgiving Run (3rd Annual)
The traditional Thanksgiving Day run from West Vancouver to Britannia Beach is back again, offering up one more chance to drive our classics before the winter sets in. As winter approaches, so does the need for donations to the Food Bank so once again this will be a by-donation event.
