A&W Ladysmith Sponsor
/
I am happy to announce a new sponsor this year. Jason Kellan and A&W Ladysmith were gracious enough to support us this year. Jason has been a huge supporter of the Classic Hot Rod crowd for years hosting the Thursday night Cruisin The Dub get together for years. If you go back through the years, you will see thousands of photos from these fun evenings on our site.
With the restrictions that are still on, we greatly miss these weekly meets. For now the memories will have to be enough. Hoping for the future when we can get together with friends again.
Thanks Jason. Greatly appreciated!

Ride of a Lifetime
/
Adele is reaching the end of her life's journey very quickly and when asked if there were any things she'd like to do while she's still here, she replied " she would love to go for a ride in a hot muscle car". Feel the rumble, hear the throaty growl, listening to classic rock! It's a dream come true for her - we're making it happen and want YOU to join us to make this event even MORE SPECIAL. ...and there's a BONUS! We're also going to make the day special for a young boy, Kayden, who's father is dying of cancer and this is likely their last birthday together. (see the event "Josh's son Kayden's birthday")
Find all the details here (The Ride of a Lifetime).
