It’s March and the weather’s nice. I want to thank all the people who participated in Hoodie Hoo Day for making it possible. So, what are we going to do with this nice weather? There isn’t much MG stuff going on yet. But we do have: March 14: Pi Day, a day for celebrating all things round. Pick your favorite and have a good time. March 15 – 17: Races at Hallett Raceway. While it’s not an MG specific event, there will be MGs racing. If you’re interested in going as a group let Brian know. Brianbailey545@gmail.com For more info check their website at: https://corinthianvintageautoracing.com/ March 17: St. Patrick’s Day, where everybody is a little bit Irish. Celebrate as you see fit, but remember, the older you get the longer it takes to recover. March 21: This will be the club dinner hosted by Ginny Vargas (and to a much lesser degree, me). Dinner will be at 5:30 at the Woodland Hills Bricktown Brewery. The address is 9409 E 71st St, Tulsa. That’s just east of Woodland Hills and right in front of Sam’s Club. Don’t forget your nametag. See the menu at: https://bricktownbrewery.com/location/?location=woodland-hills-tulsa-ok April 8: There will be a total eclipse of the sun. The path will take it through parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas. If you’ve never seen one, it is amazing. If you’ve seen one before, it’s still amazing. For more info and a map see the website: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/where-when/ That’s all I’ve got. I’ll have updates as required. GCMGR Lann PS: All of these events and getting your MG ready for driving should keep you busy. But, if you find yourself with some time to kill here’s a small puzzle. What British car’s name results in the anagram: daintier scumbag? No Googling, you have to use your own brain. March 15 Update Right off the bat we have a Pop-Up event. Saturday, March 16th. If you have any interest in going to the vintage car races at Hallett, be at the defunct Sears Auto Service Center (RIP) on 21st street just east of Yale at 9am. Bob Johnson will lead the parade along 21st street over hill and dale until he gets to Hwy 99 where he will turn right and follow the tarmac to Hallett Raceway. He will be leaving Sears at 9:10 so don’t be late. Details: Will there be MGs racing? More than likely, but I make no guarantee. Will we be able to drive our cars on the track? I could find nothing on the website that said that would be possible. You can check their website at: https://corinthianvintageautoracing.com/ The rest of the schedule for March and early April is the same. March 17: St. Patrick’s Day, where everybody is a little bit Irish. Celebrate as you see fit, but remember, the older you get the longer it takes to recover. March 21: This will be the club dinner hosted by Ginny Vargas (and to a much lesser degree, me). Dinner will be at 5:30 at the Woodland Hills Bricktown Brewery. The address is 9409 E 71st St, Tulsa.

For more info and a map see the website: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/where-when/ April 13: Club breakfast hosted by Becky & Mike Whalen. Details to follow. Now for a little club business. Since we had the planning meeting and I reminded everybody that it was the perfect time to pay your dues for 2024. I thought the matter was settled, no need to bring it up again. I have been informed that I was wrong. Our esteemed treasurer has pointedly pointed out that almost half of the members have not paid. I can only assume that those members will bring their cash or check to the Bricktown Brewery on the 21st. Now for some other club business. You may have received flyers and entry forms for the upcoming Euro Motor Extravaganza in Sand Springs on June 1st and the Brits in the Ozarks in Fayetteville on September 7th. If you did not the flyers and entry forms are attached. OK, Hallett, calendar, dinner, dues, car shows. That’s everything for now. More later. GCMGR Lann PS: I know that you are still working on the anagram from the last newsletter. To make it interesting, here’s another one. Email me the answer to either one or give me the answer at the dinner. The first correct one will get a prize. I have no idea what it will be. Here they are: daintier scumbag and ripe bushmen Hint: both are well known British cars but are not MGs. (MGs don’t lend themselves to anagrams. How hard would it be to figure out agm?) Remember, no Googling. |
