No cage required in the spring thaw...mind you, there's no competition either...but hey, it's more fun dicing it up with things like Gordini's, Mini's and Porsches!

the things i liked most about the spring thaw was the extremely friendly group of folks that participated, the incredibly diverse range of vintage vehicles, the detailed route map with history highlights, the amazing roads, the different climates and terrain, and the feel of spirited participation without it being competitive! plus, quite a few local acvw & porsche people took part and last years turnout was way bigger than expected...which means 2010 will be off the hook!!

you can check out the pics that the participants (and andrew snucins...rally photographer) took of the 2009 spring thaw here...
