MG2011 - Some Facts and NAMGAR Class Results
The All-MG Event in Reno, Nevada, organized by the MG Council of Registers, with local coordination by the Reno British Car Club, attracted 612 cars to the car show. The four-day event included a reception in the National Automobile Museum, Register night dinners, NAMGAR’s First Timers Reception, Magnette Group breakfast, a drive to Lake Tahoe for a barbeque lunch, and the Awards Banquet.
At the car show 195 NAMGAR members displayed their 81 cars in 10 NAMGAR classes. Details of class winners can be viewed here. Long distance awards for 1000 to over 4000 miles driven to the event were also presented by NAMGAR.
As a build-up to the event, NAMGAR members Bruce Woodson and Dave McCann, assisted by Mike Jacobson, organized the Rally to Reno. This started in Ocean Springs, MD and around 100 cars drove to San Francisco along Route 50, via Reno.
During the event NAMGAR Chapter Coordinators, Lee and Liz Niner, hosted a meeting for Chapter Club representatives. Major points discussed at the meeting can be seen here in the latest Chapter Coordinators’ Newsletter.
