Alden Classic Sports Car Show

The 18th annual Alden Classic Sports Car Show will be Sunday, August 12th, 2018.
Sponsored by the Twin Bay British Car Club, the show features sports cars from all over the world – no hot rods, motorcycles, trucks, muscle cars or replicas, just sports cars.
Vehicles from Great Britain, Germany, Italy,
France, Japan and the U.S.A. have all attended in the past.
Last year we featured 130 entries in the quaint Antrim County resort village of Alden, Michigan, 25 miles northeast of Traverse City, Michigan. The village of Alden offers shopping and dining with a wonderful, supportive group of merchants who provide
door prizes to lucky entrants.
Lodging is complemented in the region with wineries, tasting rooms, casinos, breweries and hundreds of miles of great touring roads. A tour of the Torch Lake area is offered on Saturday, August 11th for show participants with a dinner following at a local restaurant. The tour highlights the region’s lakes, rivers, rolling hills and scenery that will not soon be forgotten. The route is on all paved roads and mostly, if not exclusively, on beautiful county byways that capture the essence of a peaceful and bucolic setting. The tour will conclude in Central Lake where we will enjoy a wonderful dinner at The Blue Pelican.
The main event is held the next day on August 12th.
Valve cover racing is also part of our unique and friendly show, with trophies being awarded to the fastest racer. Clubs from throughout the Midwest offer challenges each year to the racers and there is no fee to enter this contest.
Each year we choose a special make or model of sports car as the featured vehicle. For 2018, we have selected the Triumph, which began producing true sports cars in 1953 and continued a strong tradition of such vehicles until the end of the nameplate in 1981. A special parking area for Triumphs will place them front and center for the enjoyment of all who attend.
Awards are presented on Sunday in several categories to entrants in all classes. Show times will be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with awards presented at 2 p.m.
Please join us in Alden on Saturday, August 11th for the tour beginning at the beautifully restored Train Depot at 3:30 p.m., and Sunday, August 12th for the car show.
