All,
I'm pretty familiar with the mid-west. I've lived in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma,
Colorado, Texas, and am now in Tennessee. If I may humbly propose a good place
for a National Event, it would be the Ozark Mountains of north-west Arkansas,
south-west Missouri. There is a little place called Eureka Springs nestled in
the Ozarks (go to http://www.eurekasprings.org/ ) for further details. Here's a
map showing the location , http://www.eureka-usa.com/maps/distance.html
This is one of the hilliest towns I know of, and it's not far from I-44, which
runs from coast to coast.
Just a suggestion.
Regards,
Jay

The local MG club has a day at the track at Heartland Park here in Kansas.
I think it's co-sponsored by Victoria British (a large Triumph/MG parts
house) and the Kansas City MG club. I believe they charge $40 or $50 per
car and have a day or half-day of open track time.
I vote against holding a national event in Kansas because there's just not
much to see here. The roads have few curves, and our mountains here
are nothing more than cumulus clouds sucking up the 80% humidity and
blessing us with hailstones and tornadoes!

That's funny, I thought Shasta *was* the national show! I put close to
6000 miles on the roadster last summer making it to Shasta, then B.C.,
then back to Kansas. I had a blast and wouldn't trade that experience for
anything.
Cheers!
