October 2024
We have scheduled our annual concours for Sunday 20th October and we will need help with early set up, gate, traffic directors, judging & a few other tasks. With regards to judging you don’t need previous experience to help with the job. If you haven’t judged before we will team you up with an experienced person & it’s a good way to learn what goes on & gain judging experience & have a enjoyable day. If you can help on the day let me know over the next few weeks please.
On Sunday 8th September MG Car Club Newcastle ran a Hillclimb at Ringwood Park which saw a total of 45 cars competing on course A4 which is one of the longer courses. There was a threat of rain on the day however we completed the scheduled 4 runs for the day before we got any rain so we were lucky.
It’s the first time in the last 18 months I’ve run the B in a Hillclimb and first Hillclimb with the rebuilt engine. I managed to take 2.5 seconds off my previous PB and the car was definitely launching better off the start line. My B was definitely going much quicker but I felt due to a combination of lack of practice and trying too hard I let the car down a bit, but I was still happy with the way the car performed. We seemed to have sorted out a few issues so I’m now looking forward to the next event.
“GEAR” will run its next event on Wed September 25 at “Pheasant Wood” circuit Marulan and hopefully our last “GEAR” event for the year will be run on “One Raceway” ( formally Wakefield Park) cant wait for this one. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back in the car by then.
Coming Events
- Sunday October 6 MGCC Newcastle Tri Challenge & Mattara Hillclimb track A3

Remember drive them don’t hide them enjoy your MG,
