Thank you to everyone for coming out to the St. Patty’s Day BBQ at Emily Murphy Park this past Sunday.  We had a great showing of people, and even a couple of sports cars showed!

  Chris gave a few of us a ride in his Model T Speedster, and Dennis showed up in one of his Mini’s.

Thank you Dennis for taking me for a ride in your Mini.  That was a blast and it was my first time in one.

One of our newest members, Gary Leverett, will be arranging the drive to History Road this year.  There is a deadline of May 15th to register for the event.  Please make sure that you write in that you are from the Edmonton Classic Sports Car Club on your registration form.  Please send myself an email (geoffrey.allan@gmail.com) or give myself a shout if you are going.  We would like to have a good idea of head count before we head down.  Thank you for taking the lead Gary!

A few ECSCC members attended the Van Dusen ABFM this year.  Bob Woodcock drove out in his Lotus 7 along with Art Rutledge who drove Jonathan Smethurst’s MGB.  Bob’s nephew went as well in his Datsun 2000 Roadster.  This year it was “tops up” motoring with their overnight stay in Merritt.  Both Bob and Jonathan entered their cars and Bob won second prize in class  in the Lotus Open.  Doug Wilson enterd his MG TC and won best in “T” class and second in best new restoration in show.  Van Dusen was a raving success this year and broke attendance records.

Seventeen of us cruised Edmonton and St. Albert streets in ten sports cars searching for hidden treasures and highlights in discrete  locations.  It was a fun way to spend the day which concluded with  afternoon tea at Vintage Petals in Morinville.   A wonderful event followed by a tasty lunch.

Jasper Jaunt was a fun weekend.  Nine of us participated with five vehicles two of which were daily drivers (Jonathan & Deborah and Howard).   The roads were excellent encouraging top down motoring for John & Dee in their Tiger, Chris & Michelle in their MGB and Neil & Laura in their TR8.  Although a little chilly, the weather overall was sunny with periods of intermittent rain and smatterings of snow.  Jasper weather was gorgeous however Rocky received a burst of sleet.   Having found out about Jasper Jaunt while surfing the net, Jasper resident Bob Mercer joined us in his 1973 Porsche 914 for the run to Athabasca Falls.
