SUMMARY:Hunt Country Classic
DESCRIPTION:The weather was splendid for the 15th Annual Hunt Country Classic British Car Show held October 10th at Willoughby Farm in Marshall\, Va. The cool fall nip in the morning air gave way to pleasant temperatures in the 70s as we reached the show field and began to stage our cars. We did manage to sneak in a small caravan to the show with Bill Marshall leading the MGAs of Charlie Adams and Ken Lawrence. Of course\, with the small group we didn’t miss any turns\, unlike last year when our rather large group required numerous U-turns to find our way. \nAlready at the field were Liz Ten Eyck and Kelsey Kallapos for their early morning shifts as volunteer parking coordinators. Joint Mid-Atlantic and MGCC members Chris & Cheryl Kintner\, Ruth Arnold and Doug & Kay Campbell were also serving in their roles for the MGCC that help make this show such as success each year. \nWhile we have long-claimed Hunt Country as our “home” car show of the season\, this year this was indeed the case as all MGAs on the show field were members of our Mid-Atlantic Chapter. Joining the line up of Liz\, Bill\, Chris\, Charlie and Ken were Butch Smith\, Larry Newman\, Jack & Shelia Stern\, and a fashionably late Bruce & Jane Zivic in their Twin Cam. Showing in other classes were Bill & Kathy Wemhoff with their TR6\, Kelsey with her MGB\, Ruthie with her MGB GT “Brigitte\,” Doug & Kay with their Magnette “Winston” and Bob Schoeplein with his freshly on-the-road MG TD “Waldo.” Tom Ford also came out for support\, but with recent ankle surgery\, unable to work all the pedals in his MGA. Michael & Lisa Eaton made the show a family event with Jonathan\, Robert and David enjoying the field of cars. \nWith the record number of MGAs at last years show\, our section of the show field was expanded in anticipation of another large group of cars. For unknown reasons\, the total car count for the show was down overall this year so our MGAs were a bit spread out to fill our “turf”. This put Chris\, Larry and Ken at a slight disadvantage as voters often made their choices before finding the other grouping of MGAs. Guaranteed a Mid-Atlantic Chapter sweep\, the results were Liz Ten Eyck awarded first place\, Butch Smith second – coming off his second place finish in the 1600 class at GT-35 and Bill Marshall gathering the third place award. Doug & Kay Campbell were awarded second place with Winston in the Open Class – Sedan category. \nWhile the cars are in the spotlight for the day\, Hunt Country remains about the people. It is always a pleasure to spend time with our fellow Chapter members\, our friends showing other marques and chatting with spectators who come to visit and perhaps ponder if a vintage British car is in their future. Not surprising\, many who stopped to talk had owned an MGA at some point in their lives. Hunt Country is also about those that volunteered their time to work the various parking stations\, help set up the show field\, work the registration desk and regalia stand or any number of other activities that must blend to make the show successful for both participants and spectators. A “job well done” goes out to all those that volunteered their time to contribute to our British car hobby.

SUMMARY:Hunt Country Classic
DESCRIPTION:The MG Car Club held their 14th annual classic British Car Show on Sunday\, October 11\, 2009. \nAs we have done the past few years\, we organized a small caravan to drive to the show. We started in Manassas as Charlie Adams was collecting a spare MGB GT to take to the show – getting an early taste of car show life while he begins the early stages of his MGA restoration project. Joining us were Keith & Kathy Kallapos and Jim Mackin – still learning that it can be cold at speeds without a jacket in the fall mornings! On the way we collected Ken & Joyce Lawrence along the roadside and we were on our merry way\, traveling Route 55 through Haymarket\, The Plains and into Marshall. \nOnce in the Marshall area\, there are only two turns to reach the show field and these intersections are always carefully marked by members of the MG Car Club. This year\, perhaps to provide an added opportunity to the local residents to view the cars\, the signs were not in place AT the intersections but on the shoulders of the road leading up to the intersection – and on the opposite side of the road that one would be looking. Oh well. This gave me an opportunity to test how well the caravan would follow an obviously lost leader. To shorten the story\, they followed well\, then missed the turn-around point due to traffic\, picked another British car to follow who led them wrong and … well\, we all finally made it to the show\, arriving as two groups! \nThis year there were 21 MGAs on display in the MGA parking area\, plus Bob and Jane Schoeplein showing in the race car class and Liz Ten Eyck showing in the Prince of Wales category reserved for the class winners of last year’s event. In addition to those members of the “Lost Squadron\,” Chapter members Bill & Kathy Wemhoff\, Tom Ford\, Bruce Zivic\, John & Kelly Burns all had their MGAs on display. Showing in the MGB GT class were members Charlie Adams in the borrowed GT and Ruth Arnold showing her 1974 MGB GT\, Bridget. We later welcomed a late arriving Warren Arthur with his MGA\, John Padgett\, who helped park show cars\, and past Chapter Chairman Amy Rothberg\, who is now MGA-less but still active in the Chapter. \nThe quality of the cars on the show field is just spectacular. Each year the quality of the new restorations just continues to improve and the attention to detail of the older restorations also continues to improve. The winners in the MGA class this year were Paul Hanley with his 1959 Twin Cam\, Chris & Cheryl Kintner with their 1957 1500 roadster and Bob Samuelson with his 1960 1600 roadster. \nI would like to thank all of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter members who volunteered their time to the MG Car Club to assist with parking duties. It takes a great number of people to host a car show of this size and the MG Car Club always does a wonderful job making sure the event runs smoothly. \nThe MG Car Club has posted the winners of all the classes on their web site as well as photographs of many of the cars entered in the show.

SUMMARY:Hunt Country Classic
DESCRIPTION:The MG Car Club Washington D.C. Centre hosted its 13th annual British car show on Sunday\, October 12th. This has long been considered our “home” car show of the season with most of the MGAs on display being members of our Mid-Atlantic Chapter. This year was a bit of an exception with 17 MGAs making the field\, the largest turnout of MGAs in memory. \nWe took advantage of the drive to the show by forming a small caravan leaving Manassas with Bill Marshall leading the MGAs of Ken & Joyce Lawrence and Keith Kallopos with John Padgett riding shotgun\, on a scenic route to the show. This route took us through Haymarket\, The Plains and Marshall on our way to Willoughby Farm. Once there\, we were joined by fellow Chapter members Tom Ford showing in the MGA class\, Bob Schoeplein in the Race Car class and Bruce Zivic\, his twin-cam undergoing an engine rebuild\, and Ruth Arnold showing in their respective MGB classes. Doug and Kay Campbell were manning the Regalia tent for the MG Car Club and were unable to show their Magnette this year. \nOur very own Butch Smith was to display in the Prince of Wales division as last year’s top MGA\, but despite the proximity to Halloween\, Butch did not feel like a repeat winner this year with his grill out of the toothless car for new chrome plating. No sense of humor\, this guy. \nThird place went to Bob Samuelson of Maryland\, second to John Casey of Jeffersonton\, VA and … drum roll please … first place to our own Liz Ten Eyck. Bob Schoeplein captured second place in the race car class with his 1960 MGA “Honeybee.” \nAll in all this was a very good event and it was great to see so many new MGAs showing up at these shows. We hope we were able to entice a few to join both our Chapter and NAMGAR as well.
