The largest vintage kart meet ever held will take place on August 5, 2001 at Oakland Valley Race Park in Cuddebackville Ny. Entry will be by pre-payment only in order to adequately promote the "Stars and Kars" that will attend.
Sufficient entries will permit separating of classes. Also, track time and display area will be provided for the vintage karters who only want to display their karts and/or track test them without mixing it up with the "all out racers" Oakland Valley is 6 tenths of a mile, paved, road course that has recently undergone massive improvements. It is truly a first class venue and will be an ideal place for the Grand Nationals.

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.
