Spring Thaw Entry List Posted

As promised, the accepted entries for the 2011 Spring Thaw Classic Car Adventure, April 29-May 1, have been posted HERE!

Congratulations to everyone who made it in – and thank you to everyone who entered! As in previous years, we will be running a waitlist in case of last minute cancellations. If you’re still interested in entering the Spring Thaw, feel free to send an application for consideration to the waitlist.

Spring Thaw: Deadline EXTENDED

In a tizzy because you’ve forgotten to go to the post office today? Panicked because you’ve just realized the Spring Thaw application deadline is THIS Monday, December 20th?

Fear not!

We’ve heard from quite a few people this week who have been busy/distracted/procrastinating on their applications and so we’ve decided to be nice and extend the application deadline to Friday, December 31st. (Merry Christmas!).  That said, please make every effort to send us your PDF application form via email by Monday, December 20th while we await your hard copy.

Thank you to everyone who has already sent in their application – it has been another great response this year with lots of hilarious and entertaining “page 2” stories. If you know of someone who is slacking on sending in their entry, please motivate them appropriately!

Thanks again,
Warwick & Dave

Spring Thaw Entries Open, plus 2011 Calendar Announced

It’s Big Announcement Day at Classic Car Adventures! Entries for the 2011 Spring Thaw Classic Car Adventure are now officially OPEN! We can hear the stampede to the post office starting already, but fear not – the application process has changed from previous years and it is no longer a race requiring the postal service to get your entry here first. Instead, there is now a soon-to-be infamous “page two” on the entry form where you will be able to convince, bribe, or otherwise tell us why you should be one of the 60 entrants in the 2011 Spring Thaw. Have fun with it – make us laugh, make us cry, make us cringe – we look forward to reading them all! If you don’t feel like writing, you could always make a video or sing us a song! Don’t take too long, however, as entries are due by December 20th. Note, the entry fee now includes selected meals including Saturday night dinner. Find out all the details and download the entry form on the Spring Thaw Info page.

Secondly, we are thrilled to announce a full year’s worth of events in 2011, including a luxury vintage event, an adventurous backroads exploration, a Fall Freeze event, plus we are bringing the adventures to Ontario!  The calendar at-a-glance is below, and you can see more details for each event on the Full Calendar page. We can’t wait to be back on the roads with you all!
