Dear all:
I attended the 50th anniversary festivities at Watkins Glen this past
weekend, and had a great time. I was a bit surprised to see only two mogs
in competition. One was a very nicely prepared black +4 (complete with
louvered undertray and twin webers), while the other was a very late 4-cyl.
3-wheeler (complete with whimsical drag chute deployed at the end of the
race). I don't know who the owner of either car is, but they did a good
job of 'showing the flag.'
I must say I was surprised to see almost no Morgans in amongst the in-field
collection of enthusiasts who drove their cars to the track. Countless
MGs, Triumphs, and respectable numbers of other marques, including jag,
datsun (more 2000's than you could shake a stick at), Alfa, Porsche, etc.,
but I don't know that I saw more than one or two additional mogs!! What
gives?? I guess I'm part of the problem; me mog stayed in the garage all
weekend.
