I had another look at the 2007 Northwest Deuce Day 75th. Anniversary event video recently and it sure brought back a ton of great memories. I must say though that we’re mourning the losses of both Malcolm King who was a great supporter/volunteer at the event and the gracious Minister of Tourism for BC., the Hon Stan Hagan.

It was an incredible sight seeing all the 2007 Canadian Hot Rod Tour cars coming off the ferry, reliving the “pageantry” at Bear Mountain and, of course, the fabulous Sunday event day on the harbour. In the event that you weren’t there, haven’t heard about it, were on an extended stay on the international space station (or beyond), let me reminisce further.

Being the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Deuce, a special edition of Northwest Deuce day was held that July. And, the first ever Canadian Hot Rod Tour was held that year which brought us from Ontario to British Columbia. After the conclusion of the Tour, a large contingent carried on to Victoria for the celebration.

The Friday of the Deuce Day weekend was all about participants arriving in town. The Saturday featured a spectacular on-lawn participant car show at the Bear Mountain Resort followed on Sunday by the actual event – a great and memorable time.

Looking ahead, plans for the next Northwest Deuce Day are underway with the dates being: July 16-18, 2010.

Canadian Rodder is pleased to announce that it is sponsoring a new web site dedicated to Northwest Deuce Day. It is currently under construction but is available now HERE so visit it and add it to your favourites.

Finally, to whet your appetite, in the event that it needs whetting, please visit the brand new Canadian Rodder Album area for photos from the 2007 Northwest Deuce Day. An album for Bear Mountain and two for the main event are there. Enjoy! Thanks to everyone who contributed photos.
