MG2001 - AN MG ODYSSEY
JULY 2 - 6 2001 - St. PAUL, MINNESOTA
Have you made your reservations yet for THE MG EVENT in 2001?
Only once every five years do North America's five Premier MG Registers come
together for an All Register Meet. This is the year. The last time was
MG96.
Hotel rooms are filling up quickly at all five host hotels. Over 300 rooms
have already been booked for the event and we're still a number of months
away from July. Make your reservation now before your first choice is full.
However, all hotels are about the same distance from Abingdon Village where
most activities will be taking place. Check elsewhere on the website for the
list of hotels.
WIN A TRIP TO LONDON FOR TWO or A FULL SET OF WIRE WHEELS.
Thanks to vendors like LITTLE BRITISH CAR COMPANY, BRITISH WIRE WHEEL and
artist KEVIN WALSH, many great items will be available for auction or
raffle.
The LITTLE BRITISH CAR COMPANY is donating two round-trip seats to
England -
worth about $2,500. BRITISH WIRE WHEEL is donating a complete set of wire
wheels and British artist KEVIN WALSH is donating a signed and framed full
colour MG print from the OAKWOOD GRANGE COLLECTION, worth over $700.
Abingdon Hall will be packed full of vendors with thousands of parts needed
by you to help along that restoration or to help you find that elusive part.
Need some MG regalia or the car care product that will help you win "Best in
Class"? This is the place to find it.
The week will be full of great MG Fun including eight Rallies and Tours
through some great Minnesota scenery, Tech Sessions, a Talent Show, a Huge
Car Show (with over 35 classes) featuring MG's from a very rare 1937 VA
Tickford to one of the last MGs off the line.
If you have another British Car in addition to your MG, bring that too since
there will be classes for other British Cars as well. Sunday will see the
start of the 24-hour endurance run, which will end at Abingdon Village, and
Monday afternoon will host the Walleye Rallye.
Want an MG degree? Then MG University is the place to enroll. Tuition is
free
and you're guaranteed to graduate. We have tech sessions that will be
informative to the pro and the novice. If you can't make class on one day,
don't worry, all Tech Sessions will be repeated twice on different days to
accommodate everyone.
MG RACERS - About thirty MGs (so far) have confirmed they will be at the
event and will be taking laps around the 1/4 mile Abingdon Oval racetrack as
well as being available for photos and talking to the drivers and crew.
These cars range from the earliest type NE Boat Tail Factory Racer, Ex-Group
44 National Champion, and J2 Supercharged Racer to the youngest MGB and MGC
race cars. A smaller version, in the form of Valve Cover racing, will also
take place so bring your "car" to run in this event. If you need the rules,
send an E-mail to MG2001INFO@AOL.COM or phone 614.899.2394 and leave your
mailing address or fax number.
Hot Nights. Evenings will be packed with fun too with Tuesday's "Minnesota
Night - Ya Betcha", Wednesday's "British Invasion" and Friday's Award
Banquet.
