November 2024
Firstly thanks to all those who helped out with the recent concours I thought the committee & members worked well together to make it great day despite the rainy start to the day.
The cars presented on the park were of a very high standard & kept judges busy working out who would be the winners. A big thank you to Greg & Frans for their efforts getting the event off the ground, they do a lot of work that isn’t seen before these events can be run.

The “GEAR” Club will be running its first event at “One Raceway” Goulburn on Wednesday Dec 4 & Team Hunter members Steve Jones, Austin Blanch, Evan Redman, & I have entered. Hopefully Paul Hamilton will have his “B” track ready for the event. The “GEAR” Committee is expecting a large number of entries for the first historic event on the re-vamped Wakefield Park circuit. I watched the Super Bike event held there recently & the track looks great but still a bit of work to be carried out. I’m tipping times will be quicker due to changes made to a few of the corners, can’t wait to have a run there.
MGCC Newcastle will be running a regularity Hillclimb at Ringwood Park on Sunday November 24 it’s a teams event & it would be great if we could get a team from our club competing.
Coming Events
- Sunday 17 November MGCC Newcastle Hillclimb Track A3 Ringwood Park
- Sunday 24 November MGCC Newcastle Regularity Hillclimb Ringwood Park
- Wednesday 4 December GEAR One Raceway Goulburn
Remember drive them don’t hide them enjoy your MG,
Cheers Gary
