During Car Show season Dan is pretty much unstoppable. We sometimes call him the Energizer Bunny.
However, he is not Super Man and can not attend each and every show. We would like to represent shows even if Dan can't make it. So if anyone attends or is involved with a Show N Shine on Vancouver Island that Dan can not attend himself, and you have an album of pictures to share, we would be happy to feature these on our site as well. Remember, we would prefer to limit this to shows that Dan has NOT attended and only shows on Vancouver Island. Maybe this will allow us to represent even more of the Hot Rod culture on the island.
Salt Spring Antique and Classic car club now has a new name and a new logo. They are now the Salt Spring Cruisers car club. Looking for something to do on Canada Day? Why not take a trip to Salt Spring island and enjoy thier Show N Shine.
We would like to say a big “Thank you” to friend Gordie Strongman for contributing these 11 color slides of photos he took mostly at San Cobble Raceway on the old Bamberton Cement Rd in Cobble Hill. This strip was run by the Quartermilers Car Club. A few are from Van Isle Dragways as well. Thank you Gordie for the generous contribution to our “Nostalgia” section on our website and also for allowing me to keep the slides!
The Cars Show posters are starting to roll in. Be sure to check out all the posters on our Posters Page. If you know of any posters that aren't there, be sure to let us know and we will add them.
Here is the latest poster. The Redliners Car Group always does a great job hosting the car crazy crowd. A change of venue this year as the show will held at Original Joe's at the Country Club Mall. Be sure not to miss this one...
So I am at the Vette show today and I ran into friend Bruce Bell. He was hoping he would see me as he told me he had something for me from Van Isle Dragways. Of course my heart skipped a beat and he pulls out this plastic holder that had two color kodaks taken of him in his 1971 Charger RT leaving the line at Van Isle as well as two of his time slips and then tells me I can have these. Thought it was cool as well as friend John Dutton's Photography business address was on the back of the slips. John of course was the Van Isle Dragways strip photographer. Photos were taken in July 1971 by a friend of Bruce's. I would like to again express my sincere thanks to Bruce for thinking of me and also say a huge Thank you in general to all who have entrusted me with your material! It is beyond gratefully appreciated
If you were registered for, or in attendance at, the event in 2016
you would have possibly read or heard that Al Clark was stepping
down as the organizer of the event and that, as such, the future of
the event was in limbo.
Despite this, the good news is that Al and his crew will be doing it
again in 2019 (July 18-21) so you can look forward to another
great event.
