Hello Hagerty Spring Thaw Hopefuls!

Knowing that everyone is experiencing heart palpitations with the agony of finding out whether they are “in” or “on the waiting list”…I thought I’d take the moment to highlight a couple of details or things I really need to you know. It takes a couple of weeks for me to put all the email addresses into our system and start emailing you as entrants, so this seemed like the most efficient way to reach all of you before that’s ready to go!

Start Location
The starting location has been confirmed, and this year we’ll be starting in Kamloops B.C. We have hotel space blocked on Thursday Night, and we’re currently working out the dinner details. Once that’s complete, we’ll be sure to update everyone as quickly as possible. But the basic details are:

Thursday Night – Coast Hotel, Kamloops B.C.
Thursday Night Dinner – expect a 7:30pm dinner time -> So you may want to arrange an early day from work, or *cough* that sudden 12hr flu before the Spring Thaw weekend.
Friday Morning MANDATORY meeting – 10:45am. All cars must be registered by 10:30am. Technically you can make it from Vancouver to the start in time for Registration (9:45am)…but we hate early mornings, and suggest you enjoy a Thursday night with us instead.

Finish Location
The Finish location is still a floating point on the map, but the possible circle is getting smaller and smaller. At this stage, with this being our ten year anniversary, you can be sure we’ll be doing the Duffy Lake road to the finish. Finish will either be Pemberton BC, or Whistler BC.

10 years of Photographs??
We would _really_ appreciate it if you could take some time between now and March to look through your photos from year’s past. What we’re most interested to find is photos of guests who have been on tour with us over the last ten years. We have LOTS of photos of your cars, but photos of our friends are going to be pretty fun to see after ten years. Warwick and Dave look like teenagers in year one, while some of you haven’t aged a day. If you have 1-5 great photos we should include in our Saturday slideshow, would you email them to info@classiccaradventures.com?
Bonus points for anyone who has a great photo of the 2011 Bonfire at 108 Mile House!

The 2018 Entry List
The 2018 Entry list will be posted shortly…after a latte and an arbitrary amount of time to add to the agony(!). Hmmm…maybe I should post it 10 cars every hour? Stay tuned…it’s bound to go up, or at least some of it, soon…
