Results of the Abingdon 2000 Car Show
The Abingdon Summer Party 2000 car show had 122 entrants which were divided into 12 classes. The oldest car was a 1935 MG PB. The newest car was a 1980 MGB. All the cars were driven to the show, even though some were trailered into Galesburg. The number trailerd was under 10. The show was entirely MG with the exception of one lonely Triumph. There were 4 entrants for the STERLING award, 1935 PB, 1949 TD, 1954 TF, and a rubber bumper MIDGET. The results of the show judging and the sterling awards leave some other observations to be made.
1) Sunny August weekends bring out MGs.
2) Most MGs are driven, some for long distances (Ontario, Canada, was the farthest).
3) Most MGs are in good enough shape to show (not mine).
4) Triumph owners are a brave lot
