Spring has finally arrived! It was on and off for a while there but the icy grip of Ol' Man winters has finally let go. Although each day the temp was over 50 I had the Roadsters out and on the road. I'm a little envious of those in the southern States who get a longer driving season, but I'll make up for it now that the weather has improved.

This year’s driving calendar is certainly packed full of awesome Rally and Tours and I hope you'll take advantage of these opportunities to "Keep'em on The Road. If Anyone needs a helping hand getting their car road-worthy do not hesitate to contact Me as the club has now put together two traveling crews who can come to your rescue. One for the Southwest & one for the North.

AUTOCROSS!!! Are you ready to START YOUR ENGINES!! ??. I think I've found that .3 of a second this year and looking forward to a great season of racing and fellowship.

Well that's all for this month hope to see all of you ON THE ROAD and remember….

Safety Fast!

I can’t believe it’s May already. I was beginning to think it would never get here. By the time you read this the Spring Brunch and the Spring Chicken Run will be past events. Did you get out and enjoy these driving and social events? If so maybe next year you could plan something similar or help out with another such drive.

I was very pleased to see so many folks at the Spring tune-up. Wilber and Cowboy did a great job in getting this event organized and executed. A huge thank you to Don’s Auto Ade for the use of their facility. I was glad to get under my MG without laying on my back. I left before the after-event lunch. I had my pick-up truck apart in my garage at home and needed to get it back together. It’s not an MG and it’s being difficult. But I’m sure I’m not getting the worst of it. It seems I sucked a mouse through the smog pump last fall.

At our last meeting Dean sent around a sign-up sheet for our CMGC Garage Squads (North & South). I look forward to seeing this help folks get and keep their MG’s on the road. If you missed the sign-up sheet drop either myself or Dean a note and let us know which team you want to join. You can join both. If you have need of the services of your fellow MG lovers. Please reach out to either myself or Dean. We’ll see if we can get the squad to your garage to help.

That’s all I’ve got for this month.
