MG MGA - MG 2006 - Announcement
MG 2006 – “A Driving Experience in the Smokies” http://www.mg2006.com Rick Ingram – Executive Director, North American Council of MG Registers It’s that time again! The all MG Register meet is just around the corner! MG2006 is almost here! Built on the solid footing of “MG International – Indy ’96” and the sturdy foundation of “MG 2001 – An MG Odyssey”, this gathering of MG enthusiasts and their cars will be making Gatlinburg, Tennessee “the place to be” from June 21st through the 25th of this year for “A Driving Experience in the Smokies”!. The North American Council of MG Registers (made up of representatives of the MMM Register, the NEMGTR, the NAMGAR, the NAMGBR, and the AMGCR) sponsors this meet once every five years. This conclave of the “sportscar that America loved first” provides an opportunity to see a multitude of examples of the marque that are rarely assembled together on one show field! There will be many special guests at MG2006, and the Council welcomes Don Hayter, Chief Design engineer of the MGB; Ken Costello, “father of the MGB V8”; and Roger Williams, MG author and enthusiast to this event. NAMGAR has also arranged for some very significant MGA’s to be in Gatlinburg, among them being EX182; a 1957 Sebring racer; 1961 and 1962 Sebring Coupes; UMO93 (the Works Twin Cam); the Olthoff Twincam; and the 100,000th MGA built (and featured at the New York Auto Show of 1962). The gauntlet has also been thrown and a challenge made between the MMM and NEMGT Registers to bring out any and all Airline Coupes! The East Tennessee MG Drivers Club has been assisting the Council in the planning of the week’s activities and will be making many recommendations of self-guided tours to areas such as Clingmans’ Dome, Cades Cove, the Tail of the Dragon, and other exhilarating drives for you to enjoy during your stay in Gatlinburg. Tech sessions and meet-n-greets will be held on Thursday and Saturday. A welcome BBQ is being held on Wednesday night and “Register night” will be on Friday and will give you a chance to mingle and meet members and officers of your specific MG Register. The car show/display is happening on Friday at nearby “on Cosby”. This is a popular vote car show with each Register having specific classes for their respective model of MG. Additionally, NAMGBR will have Concours judging for cars that fall within their guidelines. Photo, model, and craft competition will also be held, as will Valve Cover racing. Registration for MG2006 is done online. You can register for the event, order regalia, reserve banquet tickets, and find your hotel room all from the convenience of your computer! You can add items and/or change orders through the website as well. MG2006 is another event that enthusiasts will be talking about long after the last MG has left Gatlinburg. Don’t be left out! I encourage you to visit http://www.mg2006.com and register for this meet today! |
