Is it marque wars time? :-)
Nah. But while we're here, ever notice that the MG's on this list are
named things like "Grandfather" and "The Geezer", while the TR's are
named things like "Sarah" and "Elizabeth"? Must mean -something-..
-john, who is saving the name "Heather" for the E-type he
imagines he will own some year..

I was thinking about submitting the idea to the vintage race folks, but
that could work into something, If someone can come up with an good MGB,
and a driver. I don't anticipate Scott #1 is going to the party...
Careful folks- This isn't a stock TR4 by any means. Warm engine,
well developed suspension, and both owner and car are seasoned autocross
vetrans.
Even if my car were back together by then, it'd have a less-than-stock
engine, and the driver leaves even more to be desired.
