About Me:
Interested in all classic cars, but particularly British sports cars. We own: 1961 MGA vintage race car; 1973 Jaguar E-Type OTS; 1979 MGB roadster; 1983 Jaguar XJS coupe with many engine and chassis mods including a six speed conversion. I was lucky enough to marry a girl who also enjoys the car hobby, so we belong to several Southeastern clubs and enjoy the drives, shows, tech sessions, and vintage races. I like to do my own mechanical work, and enjoy the learning/communication process involved with that. I am not a "die hard" racer at my age and experience level (went to my first sports car race as a teenager, but was not on the track until recently). That said, we also love to just spectate at the more aggressive events... such as HSR (the MITTY).
What do you like to do (e.g. vintage race with...)?
Production Racer, Road Car

    George,
    Your MGA is very nice. I recognize that car from vintage racing through the years, was it campaigned previously by another owner? Please check out our MG's if you get a chance. I would also like to invite you to attend any of the VDCA events this year.

    Thanks,
    Stirling
