SHORT SHIFTS GET BUSY
THIS SUMMER IS FULL OF GREAT EVENTS FOR GEARHEADS, AND ALL THAT’S MISSING IS YOU. HERE ARE SOME OF OUR FAVORITES.
Stefan Lombard
THE GREAT RACE (June 22–30) America’s favorite time-speed-distance rally is back.
The Great Race will take entrants “Down the Mighty Mississippi,” from St. Paul, Minnesota, to Mobile, Alabama. If you’re scoring at home, that’s 10 states in nine days for a total of 2,100 miles. Cars, bikes and trucks manufactured before 1969 will compete.
Once again, Hagerty is fielding three teams, including Jonathan Klinger and Davin Reckow in the 1917 Peer- less “Green Dragon,” Tabetha Salsbury-Hammer and Tricia Felski in the Hagerty resto-project 1969 Cama- ro, and John Hollansworth and Janet Hedke in a 1940 Cadillac sedan. We'll have live updates and albums on our website throughout the event, so follow along at
hagerty.com/greatrace. And look for the race recap in these pages in our Fall issue.
OLDS COLLEGE GOODWILL (June 21–23) The classic car hobby is full of generous people, and
J.C. (Jack) Anderson is one of them. Olds College, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is celebrating its 100th an- niversary this year, and Mr. Anderson — who is not an alum — has donated 103 classic cars to be auctioned in a fundraiser for the school. The inventory includes a 1918 Maxwell, several Model A Fords, a 1936 DeSoto Airflow, a variety of cars from Studebaker, Cadillac, Lin- coln, Jaguar, Chevrolet, AMC and more. The sale takes place at Olds College on June 23. To make a weekend of it, the college has added a show and shine, cruise night, fundraising dinner dance, tradeshow, swap meet, and much more.

GILMORE CAR MUSEUM (July–September) The Gilmore Car Museum has its roots in a single car —

The Great Race (above) is a Hagerty favorite, not just for the cars and the competition, but for the camaraderie among entrants. This Ford Model T (below) is one of 103 vehicles to be sold to benefit Olds College.
