It’s finally here! We’ve been working quite hard on next year’s events schedule, and as you’ll see there has been a LOT happening here in the CCA office. In this email you’ll find information on all our 2015 events, including new events in both the USA and Canada. We’re pretty excited about these new events, and if you have friends or family who live in our new regions, please be sure to send them a link to this page.
Hagerty Spring Thaw
Vancouver, BC
The radio is playing Christmas carols, the malls are packed and your shopping list seems never-ending…this could only mean one thing: Hagerty Spring Thaw registration is just around the corner! Yes, the Pacific Northwest’s favourite classic car event is returning for its seventh year, and we couldn’t be more excited. We’ve been scouring the maps, and spent the fall testing new roads which haven’t been used in any of our events. The Hagerty Spring Thaw will begin on April 24th, and finish April 26th. Registration forms and entries will be uploaded onto our website Friday January 2nd, with supplementary regulations ready on December 15th. Further details on the event info page.
Hagerty Silver Summit
Denver, Colorado
While road-trippng across the USA this past spring, we entered Colorado with the intention of “pushing through” to our final destination across the state. After 20min on our first b-road, however, the plans changed and we spent three days exploring possibilities for a new event. By the end of the three days we fell in love with Colorado’s roads, and when we mentioned to our friends at Hagerty that we were thinking of Colorado, they immediately agreed it was a “must-do” event. This new event will feature our famous blend of great roads, great people and fantastic value. We’ll be starting on May 15th, at the new Hagerty Classic Car Insurance office in Denver Colorado. We’ll finish up on May 17th, having completed approximately 700 miles on some of the best tarmac roads we’ve ever discovered. Registration forms and entries will be uploaded onto our website Friday January 16th. Further event details will be ready December 15th, and will be found on the event info page.
Rush to Gold Bridge
Vancouver, BC
The Classic Car Adventures Rush to Gold Bridge is our mixed Tarmac and Gravel event. For 2015 we’ve moved the event to the end of May, giving us better weather over remote mountain passes. 2015’s running of the Rush To Gold Bridge will feature a lightly-organized style of road trip, designed for the budget traveler looking for adventure. Open to 1989 and earlier classics, we’ll explore some of the best and smoothest gravel roads BC has to offer. Further event details can be found on the event info page.
The “Event With No Name”
Washington / Oregon
While we certainly love exploring the roads of British Columbia, we thought we’d take our blend of events a little further south into the great roads of Washington and Oregon. This budget-minded event follows the traditional style of our famous Spring Thaw, and is one of the best ways to close out the motor season. We also thought we’d have some fun, and ask you to help us name the the new fall event with a contest! We’re offering a 50% discount as a prize to the winner of our naming contest. Full details, and entry to the naming contest, can be found on the event info page.
Maple Mille
Toronto, ON
Traditionally at CCA we think of mountains as the ultimate source of twisty roads and fantastic views. Glaciers on the east-coast, however, created thousands of lakes which early road builders had to go around, and around, creating some absolutely fantastic twisty roads. The Muskoka Lakes, Canadian Shield region and the Laurentian Mountains each serve a unique blend of twists, turns and scenery. The history of Upper Canada and early cottaging has also created some fantastic resorts and destinations, all a part of this new event for CCA. Registration for the event will open this winter, with further event information found on the event info page.

I’ve been dicking around with my MG 1100 for eight years now and am determined to be registered for the 2015 Spring Thaw . . . come hell or high water! I have a couple of questions though.
I’m in Portland, Oregon but have some friends in Vancouver, CA that have done this before (Henry Reisner and Rick Davis). If I’m reading your instructions correctly, can I fill out the registration form on the 2nd, email it to my friends and have them physically enter it? Also, is it required that our check for payment accompany the registration form?
I think that’s it. Thanks.
