Here is a few photos from the Spring Thaw (April 29, 2012) – usually the first major car event of the year.  Held at the end of April each year for about 20 years.  This year there was a couple hundred cars of all kinds, from antiques, hotrods, race cars and a few exotics.

Check the gallery set for a few of my favorites.

A really nice vintage racer from the Alberta Auto Racing Association – raced from 1951 to 1954 and restored in 1980.

Here is a Vintage Drag Racer – runs low 8 second 1/4 mile.  Garth just bought a HANS Device – hope he never really needs to use it!

Turbo anyone!  A couple of these ‘Rat Rods’ gathered a lot of fans!

Part 2 of the year in review photos include a bit more fun, creativity and of course girls   Full Gallery!

#1 Guess this has to be my favorite as it won a Calgary Tourism photo contest for sporting events!

#2 DirtCup Rallycross at Race City showing lots of gravel flying,

#3 Autoslalom at Deerfoot Mall, Calgary – I like the angle of this shot as well as the closeness of the racing line!

#4 Jet Boat Racing – World Championships in Northern Alberta! The first time I’ve seen jet Boats, 120 mph+ on the river is impressive. One customer bought a HANS device before this event Unfortunately my camera failed in the rain so only got a few shots of the preliminary classes.

#5 Rocky Mountain Rally – worst weather conditions EVER but some cool water shots

There’s 20 more in the gallery! From Rallying in the snow, to Sprint Cars at night, more road racing, drag racing and autoslalom!

Tomorrow we’ll add some FUN PHOTOS to the gallery!
