LOAFERS EVENT PART OF ‘CAR-VANA’ WEEKEND

Deuce Days show for pre-1951 vehicles channelled the famed 1932 Ford

- CAM HUTCHINS

With the long weekend upon us, one word sums up this B.C. weekend: car-vana.

Don’t miss the Langley Loafers Old Time event at Mission Raceway Park, a race and car show all in one.

The highlight last weekend was the huge Northwest Deuce Days car show in Victoria. Put on by local racing and hot rod building legend Al Clark, it was open to only pre-1951 cars and trucks.

Have a great long weekend and no matter where your travels take you, have fun, drive safe and take a kid with you.
