[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]I'm sorry to have to report that there will not be a Canadian Hot Rod Tour from Ontario to BC (including Victoria and Northwest Deuce Day) in 2019.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Despite our efforts (since early this year), we have not been able to generate enough interest to justify, not only full-scale planning, but a full year's worth of work to implement the event.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]While it is still a full year away, an event of this nature requires that we have significant commitment from a core group NOW in order to make it viable - specifically relating to hotels and group block contracts. While we could carry on and make these commitments hoping that a larger core group would emerge over time, the risk is too high for us and for potential participants.[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]While there are people who are interested in a smaller part of the larger event, both in the east and west, the whole event is a 22 day on-the-road commitment - not only from us as organizers but to the core group referred to above.[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]As I said, I'm sorry to have to report this but we thought we should "pull the plug" early to allow alternate plans to be made.[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]As always, best regards.[/FONT]

I don't think what you see here represents the disappointment of those of us that were looking forward to the tour. I also received the email a few days ago and, like the others was very disappointed but understand Frank's position. I'm just totally baffled by the lack of committed interest. I would have thought that almost everyone that had participated in the last tour would be hung ho for this one and would have told others about the last one and introduced them to the plans for next year thus INCREASING the interest/participation from the last tour.So, this is all the response to this news? Pretty dissapointing
Still contemplating attending!!
