MG 2019, Traverse City, MI By Rick Mills

It was a very rainy Friday, July 19th , but five MGs headed to Traverse City, Michigan anyway. Oh, wait! It wasn’t JUST raining; it was monsooning — wind blowing, lightning, and thunder. It rained all the way across Missouri and Illinois! No one in their right mind would be driving an LBC in this, unless you knew the end result was MG 2019! That was the goal of this group of five cars: Denny & Ruth Hale, Dean & Kim Wheeler, Jim Danielson & Rose Hitz, Steve & Mary Beth Dupus, and Rick & Monica Mills.

Our first goal was to keep dry. All our cars had working wipers, but brake lights — not so good. Our first night Friday was spent in Gilman, IL. No problems the first day. The second day Saturday was a split. Two cars went on to the show’s Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, one car went to a different motel in Traverse City to spend the night, and two cars went to Big Rapids, Michigan to spend the night (Dave Dobbins showed up late in his MGC/GT and spent the night here also). These two cars had no brake lights (Mills and Dupus). While changing a brake light switch in an MGB is a five-minute job, changing a brake light switch in a ‘71 Midget is NOT. I carried three extra switches in my car for this trip, used and new. It took about an hour to replace the Midget with the new switch. The next morning our three cars left for our final destination to the Lodge in Traverse City, about three hours.

My used switch quit again! While the other three cars were on their way to the Mission Peninsula Light House, we were still driving to Traverse City. As we arrived at the Lodge, hundreds of MGs were already there. (cont. on page 2)

The Register’s execu-tive committee is elected by the Affiliated Chapters. Officers can only serve two con-secutive terms which ensures that new peo-ple and fresh ideas are always available. Finances are open to inspection at any time and the Treasurer provides financial state-ments that show how the membership’s money is spent. Officers and Registrars receive no financial remuneration for their duties, but volunteer out of the spirit of the marque. The award-winning magazine MGB Driver is published six times a year. Cost of membership in the NAMGBR is $30.00 per year and includes a dash plaque with your membership number, the MGB Driver magazine, and other benefits.

NAMGBR

The Kansas City MG Car Club is a chapter of the North American MGA Register (NAMGAR). The Register was established in 1975, with the sole objective of promoting the restoration, preservation, and enjoyment of the MGA, Magnette, and their Variants. While NAMGAR started as a register of MGA’s in North America, it soon became an organization to join, as evidenced from a membership roster of folks from all over the world! It immediately became the catalyst for very special social gatherings. NAMGAR is managed by unpaid volunteer Board and Staff members. They give their expertise and time freely in an effort to make NAMGAR the best MG club in the world.: Cost of membership in the NAMGAR is $37.50 North America/$52.50 International per year and unique dash plaque indicating your car’s Register number, NAMGAR’s award winning magazine, MGA!, six times a year and other benefits.

MG 2019 (cont. from page 1)

The Great Wolf Lodge is massive! Four floors, 280 rooms, restaurants, arcades, swimming, water park, miniature golf, etc. Our room was on the 1

st floor — one floor below street level. 26

steps up to the main level. My new knee got quite a workout the four days we were there. Hundreds of steps those days and miles of walking from each end of the Lodge to get to our cars, washing them, kicking tires, meeting old and new friends, and getting to tech sessions and registration rooms. We had 7 cars from our club at the show — Dave Dobbins and Steve & Carol Olson (who left a day later and drove on their own), and the five mentioned on page 1, plus Tom & Karen Sims from the Lawrence All British Car Club, Scott Williams & James Harrel from the Topeka British Car Club, and four cars from GOBMC in Springfield, MO. Missouri and Kansas were well represented.

Sunday evening took us on a tall ship cruise, the Manitou. They called it a schooner, but the masts were 67 feet above deck and Dave actually helped raise the sails. Dave Dobbins & his friend Susan, Denny & Ruth Hale, and Monica and I took the cruise. Aye, Matey!

Monday brought more rain. Some cars took a driving tour while others stayed inside the Lodge for several tech sessions, which were full. 3D Printing was useful as the speaker made some handy items for MGs. Of the most useful was a spacer to space your window crank away from the door panel so rolling the window up and down was much easier.

Tuesday brought sunshine and a great drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Great views of the ocean (okay, so it’s not an ocean, but Lake Michigan — you can’t

see the other side!) from high atop sand dunes where the wind was blowing 40+ mph, curvy roads, and driving through a covered bridge.

MG 2019 (cont. from page 2)

Wednesday was the car show about 1.4 miles from the Lodge. It was held at the Grand Traverse Commons, which used to be a mental hospital, but was converted into apartments and many shops. The entire lower level are restaurants and shops.

The MGB/GT class had 14 cars and about

that many in other classes, including the class for ‘70-’71 MGBs which Dean Wheeler won 1st Place in that class! Stevan Dupus got 3rd Place in his class for Chrome Bumper Midgets. Dave Dobbins got 3rd Place in his ‘74 ½ MGB/GT. Scott Williams got 1st Place in his class for MGC Roadsters, and Jim Danielson got 2nd Place for his MGC Roadster. Congratulations to all of you!

After the show, the Hales, Wheelers, and us left for Mackinac Island

(pronounced ‘Mackinaw’) to spend two nights in St. Ignace. A Hydrojet Boat took us across the lake to the island. Any faster and it would have been airborne!!! No vehicles allowed on the island; only horse-drawn carriages/taxis and bicycles. One of the main reasons for going to Mackinac Island was to go to the famous Grand Hotel and pay $10 per person to get on the porch to have a glass of wine or beer and take a personal tour of the inside of this magnificent hotel. The movie, “Somewhere in Time” was filmed here in 1980. The Governor’s Mansion and Fort Ignace are also here. Well worth the trip. Put this one on your bucket list! From here, the three cars went across the upper peninsula of Michigan over to Wisconsin and down through Iowa on our way home. No roadside tech sessions were incurred.

Triumph Club’s Breakfast Run on July 13th

By Bob Aguilar

Saturday, July 13th, was a very beautiful morning with the temperature around 70

degrees and low humidity. Members from the Kansas City MG Car Club and Triumphs Sports Car Club arrived in 17 LBCs: one MGA Coupe, one MGB-GT, one MGC-GT, five

TR-3s, six TR-6s, one TR-8, one Spitfire, and one GT-6, and a couple of other non-LBCs gathered at the Highland Plaza US Bank Parking lot at 119th St. & Highway 69 in

Overland Park, KS. We departed about 8:00 a.m., traveling south on Switzer Blvd to 179th Street, then east to old Metcalf where we turned south to Louisburg and Miss

B’s Cafe. This 25-mile route is a mix of both residential properties and farmland.

Often, we were dwarfed by the vast corn crops. Along the way, Pat Fischer & Roger Elliott joined the caravan in Roger’s Spitfire at 199th Street and Metcalf. The drive

down was leisurely and very pleasant. Upon arriving at Miss B’s, we found that several other TR Club members were waiting for us: one TR-4 and two Spitfires, as

well as two more non-LBCs. The total folks gathered at Miss B’s for breakfast was about 40. A really great turn-out. Miss B’s Cafe was prepared as I had called a few

days earlier to warn them that the British were coming. They were very pleased and grateful to be serving such a large group of car enthusiasts. Breakfast was good and

service at Miss B’s was outstanding.

After breakfast, everyone gathered in the parking lot and visited. A few were going

to visit some of the local Antique stores or visit the Cedar Creek Feline Reserve. A group of TR Club members drove over to visit a life-time club member Gary Perry at

his Assisted Living Residence. We presented Gary with our 40th Anniversary Book as there are several photos of him in that book. He was very happy to see us with our

Triumphs and very appreciative of the 40th Anniversary Book.

The Great Car Show, July 21st By Monica Mills

The Great Car Show was a benefit for the Kansas City Automotive Museum and the

National WWI Museum and Memorial.

A fantastic turnout of approximately 33 British cars showed up on the field. The Austin Healey Club, the Kansas City MG Car Club, the Kansas City Triumph Club, the

Lawrence All British Car Club — all had cars present. The day started out raining only until about 9:00 a.m., then when the show started at 10:00 a.m., the day stayed

mostly cloudy the rest of the time until the show was over at 3:00 p.m. With the threat of rain lingering further into the morning, it was probably the reason more

classic cars hesitated to show up. At last count, only about 350+ cars showed up out of about 450 possible. It seems the British cars had the most presence out of all

other types of cars. It was a wonderful sight to see!

Food truck vendors were plentiful, so no one had any excuse for going hungry at

breakfast or lunch. There was a large covered tent with tables and chairs for eating

your food, and a live band!

A Big Congratulations goes out to Larry Taylor! His beautiful ‘60 TR-3 won “Best Classic Car” of the entire show from Hagerty!! A representative from Hagerty

came over to surprise Larry with his award.

Midget Mumblings By Steve Olson

MG 2019 in Traverse City, Michigan was another great event with perfect weather for the car

show. Well, there was a bit of rain the days preceding the show, but we won’t dwell on that. The

important thing is our Midget got us there and back without any major issue. It started with a twist

of the key every time and the engine never missed a lick. It ran perfectly and never overheated,

despite near triple digit temps coming home. Whether cruising scenic roads along the lake or

blasting down the Interstate doing all the law would allow, or perhaps a shade more, the engine

sang its song sweetly if perhaps with just a bit more volume than some might have preferred.

About 100 miles into the 2,500 mile trip, some baffle inside the muffler came loose and that jingled

annoyingly the rest of the trip. No harm done; just annoying. On our trip home, I decided it was

time I should check the oil after 1,500 hard miles. I suspected the level might be down a bit. But

when I pulled the bonnet release handle, there was no clunk of the bonnet lifting against the safety

stop. The handle just kept pulling out with no effect. So later in the day at the motel, I struggled to

lie on my back and reach up into the area in front of the radiator and move the latch manually.

Then, with the bonnet open I was able to remove the grill and re-attach the cable and tighten the

clamp which had loosened but had not yet fallen off. Only a few drops of blood were shed and the

oil level wasn’t seriously low anyway. And then sometime the next day, I noticed the light was on

in the Check EGR indicator.

That indicator illuminates every so many thousand miles based on a counter in the speedo cable.

This system was used for a few years in the mid-70s to remind owners that the EGR valve needed

to be cleaned or replaced. On my car, that would not be easy since I was in Wisconsin and my

EGR was in my pile-o-parts in Kansas City.

As I changed from a single carb to twin SUs, I was unable to mate up the EGR plumbing, so I had

plugged those orifices and deleted the valve. This emission device is fairly harmless when it

works and I would have left it intact if I had been able to easily do so. The way it works is that

under very high vacuum conditions created only when the car is using engine breaking to

decelerate, the valve is opened to allow some exhaust gasses to enter the intake manifold. This

burns some of the fuel that is present in the exhaust and reduces the over-rich mixture reaching

the cylinders. Since you are not asking the engine for power, this seems like a pretty harmless

way to reduce pollution. Sadly, these EGR valves fail in a couple ways. First, the valve itself gets

crudded over and fails to close completely, so it robs power all the time. Second, the diaphragm

gets old and cracks, creating a permanent vacuum leak. That is why it needs to get checked

every once in a while, ergo the indicator lamp. These days, new EGR valves are expensive and

not easy to find. Since I have no EGR valve on the car, I just used a little pin wrench to rewind the

counter to turn the lamp out.

And once home, the exhaust jangle turned out to be just a nut missing from a clamp. I could have

fixed that on the road, but with difficulty since it was under the car and near the center.

Other than those few niggles, and a bit of a deluge on the first day and some sweat on the last

day, the trip was another great one. Next year, we plan to attend MG 2020 in Calgary and that

drive will be just a bit further. So time to get your passports and start getting your MG ready. We

have been in that area before and the scenery around there is something your bucket list must

include.

We will start at 7:00 a.m. at Christian Brothers Automotive, 19601 E. US Highway 40, Independence, MO. Our run is about 33 miles and will take approximately one hour. It's the same breakfast run done in the past, just a new breakfast venue.
