Fellow fiends:
Well, several cigars later, I'm back home from Mid-Ohio and the June Vintage
races. I wanted to report on the presence of MG cars in the races. This
will be a (mercifully) short report as there were, with the exception of a
gaggle of spridgets, only a few, by my reconing. First off: a black MGC
roadster and a brg pull handle (yes!) roadster. I spoke with the owner of
the pull handle car for only a few minutes; it's vin is "around 12,000" and
is a rhd/ww car. This is, for the most part, "gentleman" racing, so
frankly, I never saw either car really scrapping it out with some other
iron. There were also two MGAs; an off yellow coupe, and a dark blue and
pink (yes) MkII roadster (that only ran in exhibition). The coupe actually
did some racing, if you know what I mean. I was a bit surprised not to see
any T-cars competing.
God, I love these cars.
Cheers,
WZ
