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.

Jasper Jaunt is a go in spite of our snowy week. For those last minute deciders, it shouldn’t be a problem getting a room at Pine Bungalows by calling 1-780-852-3491. The weather has improved. Feel free, however, to join us with your daily driver if you have concerns about driving your sports car. We are meeting at 9:30 AM Saturday morning (May 8th) at Arby’s on St. Albert Trail (on north side of Yellowhead) for a 10 AM departure.
