2024 car shows

I look forward to the Torrington show, not only for the cars, but it's always fun to take a walk down memory lane with Paul DeVos, owner of Old School Autworx and organizer of the show. Paul and I were both racing stock cars at Race City Speedway back in the nineties. There were a few standouts at the car show including a rare1969 Dodge Daytona with signatures from notable … [Read more...] about Torrington – Aug 24, 2024 – 44 photos

Memorial Park in Carstairs was the scene of another excellent car show. I especially enjoy this show, not only because of the cause it supports but for all the friendly dogs I get to see.

One of the best parts of the show was talking with the residents and reminiscing about the old days. The live music was excellent and the food … [Read more...] about Calgary – The Edward – Aug 18, 2024 – 37 photos
