Here's some photos from the run up Mt. Baker that Benny organized a couple of years ago. A good time was had by all!

Q: "When you say " a friendly competition ", what does that mean?"
A: It's means cutting brake lines/rods & oil slicks are prohibited.

Re: The Can-Am Model A Reliability Run;"Mt. Hood A-dventure"
Q: " I don't belong to a car club. Can I still participate?"
A: Sure you can! The Can-Am is a time where ALL old Ford lovers can get together and have a good time. The contest is to see which COUNTRY not CLUB can get the most A,B or C powered vehicles to one spot at one time. If you're in a club? The Can-Am is a great time to try to promote your club because you might meet people who are on the fence about joining. The Can-Am is good opportunity to show these folks what being in a club is all about. Weather folks are lone wolfs or travel in a pack, it doesn't matter, we are going to have a lot of fun!!!

Re: The Can-Am Model A Reliability Run;"Mt. Hood A-dventure"
Q: " I can't drive a clutch anymore so I put a pinto engine with an automatic in my A so I could still tour. Is it ok if I come anyway?"
A: Sure can! Now the Can-Am is a reliability run and out of fairness to the folks who still have 90 year old running gear, we are asking the folks who have Shays or none A,B,C running gear to run the flag of Switzerland on their radiator (you can get the flags off of amazon.). You folks are more than welcome to tour but to be counted in the contest part of the event you need to have A,B or C running gear.

Sounds like a fun time. I will advertise this in our club and make every attempt to participate myself. Thanks for putting this together. btw, Switzerland flag because they are/were neutral? I hope you Canucks can make it down here!

Re: The Can-Am Model A Reliability Run;"Mt. Hood A-dventure"
After a test run of the Can-Am's tour route was completed, it was agreed that the original meeting spot was NOT going to be adequate. So the new meeting spot will be: Safeway Parking Lot,2249 Cascade Ave, Hood River, OR 97031. Now the Can-Am Model A Reliability Run is not the type of event you register for,however,if you plan on participating it's a good idea to make contact with the folks of Tyee.You can call 360-659-4135 (leave message if no pick up) or email [email protected].

Here is an endorsement. This is how I found my Hotel/Motel for the Can-Am. https://www.cheaptickets.com/. Rooms in Hood River fill up fast, so might want to book now. Also maybe try and find a place in a near by town.

Re: The Can-Am Model A Reliability Run;"Mt. Hood A-dventure"
Q: "So what happens if the Canadians win and the Americans lose? Or the Americans win and the Canadians lose?"
A: If the Americans lose, we have to convert to the metric system. If the Canadians lose they have to promise NOT to put mayonnaise on everything!

Re: The Can-Am Model A Reliability Run;"Mt. Hood A-dventure"
Q: "That's a long drive for me. Is it o.k if I trailer my car there?"
A: You sure can! Just remember, where you park your truck & trailer is the responsibility of the participant. The Can-Am is a bare bones event.

Re: The Can-Am Model A Reliability Run;"Mt. Hood A-dventure"
Q:" My Model A is a highboy with a B motor. Is it okay for me to participate?"
A:Sure can!!!!! A,B or C powered is what really matters. Nobody said anything about no fenders or any body mods either. You could show up with a doodle bug if you REALLY wanted to?

Re: The Can-Am Model A Reliability Run;"Mt. Hood A-dventure"
Don't know? Since the Can-Am is also opened to period Hot Rods ( Not just stock Model A's) and 4 cylinder Fords built from Oct '27-34. We could see a respectable showing. It all depends on how much they value their mayonnaise?

Re: The Can-Am Model A Reliability Run;"Mt. Hood A-dventure"
Just got off the phone with a fella with a Speedster that wants to participate. The corrected meeting spot location didn't make the latest Restorer deadline. So just a reminder, we are meeting at the Safeway parking lot, 2249 Cascade Ave, Hood River, Or 97031. At 9amish, Saturday, July 20th. It's not a requirement that you make contact with us if you are planning on going, however, it's a good idea! Benny

Re: The Can-Am Model A Reliability Run;"Mt. Hood A-dventure"
24 Brave Americans went up to Timberline Lodge claiming vicktory for the Americans! To my Canadian friends I hope you had fun at Duece Days hope it was worth it, no mayonasie for a year! The rest of you I all hope you got to do something fun that promotes the hobby. There was not enough parking up top we had to party at the bottom, I forgot to drink fluids, so all for now. Benny

Re: The Can-Am Model A Reliability Run;"Mt. Hood A-dventure"
Thanks Dick! It would have been nice to get a picture of everyone at the top but parking was a nightmare. I was told that I could have reserved some space. Only one problem about reserving : I don't know how many cars will show? Besides the Can-Am is called "The Can-Am Tour" by some which is a bit of a mis-nomer. The Can-Am is a Reliability run. Tours are all staged and planed out. Reliability run, expect some chaos and some "plan B's".
