The Sports Car and Vintage Auto Festival XXXVIII was a big success! We had a lot of help from members of the MG Car Club Western New York and the Victor Lions. Great turnout- 600+ cars on the field. My wife and I were co chairman. Thanks to all involved. We had a great after show party at our house too!

I'm getting ready to march in three parades with my fire department for Memorial day and my wife Peggi is going to drive the MGB in the Victor Memorial day parade at the invitation of the Victor Lions club. So far everything is going smoothly in preparation for the show- except- one of our members who hosts the annual after show party is very ill and had to be hospitalized. My wife agreed to host the after party as well as helping run the show- Why not? So, we are painting, cleaning and getting ready for 50+ club members to come over to celebrate the 38th annual show after its all over!

It was a beautiful day to take out the MG with temps in the mid 70's, sunny skies, and the car is running sweet. I drove the car all day and after dinner my wife drove the MG out to the pier at Canandaigua lake. It was just a nice night out. On the way back we though we hit a patch of mist or light rain but it was the darn spring gnats! The whole windshield and front of the MGB was covered! Yuck!

Its been a stretch of beautiful but cool mid 40's to 50 degree weather so I've been taking the B on short trips to the store, etc. It never has liked cool weather and tends to not run smoothly until its over 60 degrees outside. Its been too cold to put the top down, and I used to be the guy driving with the top down in the snow! I reset the timing and am now at 15 degrees. It was still running a tiny bit "off" at speeds over 60, so expressway speed is not all that good. I expect it will be better once it gets warmer out. Our club is having a tune up clinic, so I'm going to bring the B there and go over the point gap and timing and recheck the carb settings and synchronization to make sure its as good as it can get.

Ready for Spring

It was a beautiful day today- a little cold yet 45 or so, but after checking fluids and making sure the radiator and hoses are all tight I fired up the MG. I took a short ride to the store to recycle bottles and get some beer- a perfect opportunity to go for a ride! The repaired radiator, new hoses and fan all are great. I decided to run the car a little and degrease the engine before tackling the side cover gaskets, because the gook on the side covers is about 1/4 inch thick and in the cold, its like trying to remove tar. Thanks again to Harry on this site for selling me the fan after my ad on the trader forum.

I guess I haven't been keeping up with this journal! We held the valve cover races and I got knocked out early this year. The first racer I was up against was #2 a few years ago (Pee Wee's drain pipe or something) so I didn't win that heat. Then I did win another heat by default when the other racer went off course. In the end I was out early so I joined the group drinking / cheering on the others. Leon's "Pee Wee Herman" racer that had knocked me out early won peoples choice, and a brand new car won overall. Really thin wheels are in, but I was catching cars for a heat or two and think I broke one car's wheels when I caught it- they were made from CD's. The other catcher had cut himself on the timing apparatus (a small mirror in the center lane) so I was trying to catch two cars at once. Mike from our club was gracious but I felt terrible. Oh well- sometimes you win, sometimes you DNF.
