Deuce Days in Victoria, B.C.

Hi all, I guess it is a bit late but I just wanted to remind everyone that Al Clark is hosting the North West Deuce Days again. The weekend of July 19-20-21, show on Sunday . Lots of car stuff all weekend. 968 cars registered and half will be deuces. Always a good show. I will try to post some pics after it is done.

Just found out about this event yesterday. Met a couple of dudes headed out for it. One was Jamie Burns from Canada. Making the trip in a 29 roadster pick-up with "NO" top. Real road warror and a nice guy. Sounds like a great road trip. Might have to add this one to my bucket list. Jamie said they only have it every 3 years.

 

Every 2 years actually. Vic Edelbrock Jr always brings several Deuces from california for the show. Lot of fun!

 

we're on our way out. Last night, Grand Island, NE. Tonight Casper, WY. Then, Bozeman,MT, Spokane, WA, three nights in Langley, BC, then on to the island next Thursday. Hope to see some of you HAMB ERS there.

 

I will be there, hoping to have my car on the road for it.
It started out as every two years, but after 2004 they decided to do it every three years. Just read it on there website under "About"

 

I went in '07 for the 75th Anniversary show, it was terrific. Some really great cars there. And Victoria and the surrounding area is beautiful.

 

I went in 2010 with 9 cars from my roadster club and was fortunate to get the "participents pick " . Will be going again this year , leaving Sunday AM for a leisurly 5 day roadtrip. Here's some pics of the 2010 event. There is one pic of 120 hotrods loaded into the ferry from Port Angeles , most cars they ever had on that ferry .

 

The 2010 show looked quite fantastic !!! thanks for the pictures.

 

I've been working on my car every day for the last two weeks to get it ready to go. Can't wait!

 

Always a good time. The city of Victoria welcomes everybody with open arms too.

 

You bet we do! Come and enjoy our beautiful city!

 

My family will be there,all driving 32 fords.

 

There were 4 cars that made the trip in 2010 from Southern Ontario, including Jamie, Wayne Roachon (29 Ford roadster) Bill King (27 Ford roadster) plus Clarke Pringle from the USA (32 Ford roadster) and me trailing. Was a loot. We met up with the Canadian Rodder group in Lethbridge Alberta.

 

Thanks for the photos and have a safe trip.

 

Please take a lot of photos for us guys that can't be there. HRP

 

I was there for the 75th deuce birthday. No passport so will not make it this year. We drove up form eastern Oregon. Stayed @ a B&B on the island was very nice. Got to visit with old fart (Doug Mager & Sandy his lovely bride). Had a grand time.

 

I run the pub right down the street called Garrick's head Pub. 45 taps. gear heads welcome!
might see my ratty 56 international truck around as well.

 

Hey Phil,
I hope you, Jamie, and my old buddy pringle are having as great a time as the four of us did in 2010. Did Donnie from Buffalo go along as well?

 

Short drive for me and will be there as well

 

Hey Roachie.... I didn't make it. My knee replacement fell apart on me in June, had to get another one put in, and I'm still recovering. Donnie decided not to go when I couldn't make it. I'm just glad Jamie and Phil are our there. This only comes around once every 3 years, so I'm already planning for '16...
See ya on the road.
Clarke

 

We'll be there, with the Fordy8 this time.

 

Leaving first thing Thursday morning! (beat the ferry traffic)

 

I live about an hour north of there and have never been to it. My schedule just never works out. Maybe this time!

 

I saw Jamie and Phil at lunch today, here in Langley. Jamie was getting some repairs done, but is now good to continue.
There were six guys at lunch today headed over, Brian

Sorry to hear Jamie had some problems. Hope he got it fixed and back on the road.

 

if anyone needs some tools and jack in Victoria, Im a stones throw from downtown (and far to lazy to scratch the shit out of someone elses car). Ill be around with my rolling project '31 Tudor in grey primer with no rear windows or a Blue 65 Studebaker Daytona. or just message me here for a phone number.

 

He had rear end problem, but it was fixed and ready to go yesterday.
