The Can-Am Model A Reliability Run;"Mt. Hood A-dventure"

[37Benny]

Q:" My Model A is a highboy with a B motor. Is it okay for me to participate?"

A:Sure can!!!!! A,B or C powered is what really matters. Nobody said anything about no fenders or any body mods either. You could show up with a doodle bug if you REALLY wanted to?

Benny,
The Volcano A's will be bringing 7 Model A's.
We are really looking forward to this run.

Thanks Roger for the update! I'll see you then! Benny

Just out of curiosity, how many Canadians are coming?

[37Benny]

Don't know? Since the Can-Am is also opened to period Hot Rods ( Not just stock Model A's) and 4 cylinder Fords built from Oct '27-34. We could see a respectable showing. It all depends on how much they value their mayonnaise?

Also a little birdie told me that a Tim Hortons is having a grand opening in Hood River! So we will just have to wait and see.

Just got off the phone with a fella with a Speedster that wants to participate. The corrected meeting spot location didn't make the latest Restorer deadline. So just a reminder, we are meeting at the Safeway parking lot, 2249 Cascade Ave, Hood River, Or 97031. At 9amish, Saturday, July 20th. It's not a requirement that you make contact with us if you are planning on going, however, it's a good idea! Benny

24 Brave Americans went up to Timberline Lodge claiming vicktory for the Americans! To my Canadian friends I hope you had fun at Duece Days hope it was worth it, no mayonasie for a year! The rest of you I all hope you got to do something fun that promotes the hobby. There was not enough parking up top we had to party at the bottom, I forgot to drink fluids, so all for now. Benny

Where are the pictures? It didn't happen if there aren't pictures!

Benny eMailed me some pictures of the event. Looks like fun!

[37Benny]

Thanks Dick! It would have been nice to get a picture of everyone at the top but parking was a nightmare. I was told that I could have reserved some space. Only one problem about reserving : I don't know how many cars will show? Besides the Can-Am is called "The Can-Am Tour" by some which is a bit of a mis-nomer. The Can-Am is a Reliability run. Tours are all staged and planed out. Reliability run, expect some chaos and some "plan B's".
