Hey Tom & Mary Welcome to “DOVERVILLE”
2014. The 1st run the MG made after restoration was at Dover 1
In 2009. Now it’s like a nationwide event.

Made it to my son’s place this afternoon. He needs to make a small repair to his motorcycle and I am going to help him. 😮 😆
The weather this time of year in CT is great compared to FL. Looking forward to seeing you guys at the track.
Dino….Know what you mean about NY, just bought the Newburg Bridge at the toll station.

What a great show, thanks to Dino and all that made it possible. The 6th annual race was just the best it could be. Just not enough time to see and talk to everyone long enough.
My son made it too hard for me to win our race this year with his perfect .000 tree. Way to go Ronny.
Thanks for the pictures that were posted from the event. I Like the one attached from Bob Dastalto’s camera showing both front wheels up on the 55.

What a good time we had. The trip was 6 miles short of 3000 and went pretty good till Orlando. Got into stop and go traffic for about 10 miles. Woman behind us decided to look for her cell phone and used our trailer to stop. She stuck her little foreign car between the 55 and the trailer bed. The 55 is not too bad but the idea of just getting is finished when this happened. The trailer was hurt the worst but even it was good enough to get home. Cut off the bent pins that held on the ramps and unloaded the car. Guess it is a good thing we didn’t make the front page of the newspaper.
Today we got all the damage so it looks good again.

HEY

Geees, sorry to hear about getting rearended!!!
Thats something 3,000 miles and right near your home!!!Too bad!I drove for a living and I lost count how many cars ended up under the ICC bumper of the trailer!!!
Funny thing I never felt any of those hits!
The one I felt the most was pushing a Saturn sideways down 84 at 65 mph!

Take care best of luck now that youre home safe and sound!

Tom,that makes me sick,and it ain’t even my car! Thank goodness your trailer took most of the ‘blunt’! All that ‘hard’ work you and your wife put into the ‘beautiful’ 55. Somehow,it seems there like a target,with a bulls eye in the center, you have to watch and stay away from everything when you park them! To me, the law should be ( nation wide), take away there driver’s license for a year, and let them keep there cell phones! Is it that hard to pull over,and answer it, or make the call? How many accidents and deaths is it gonna take before these people ‘wise’ up, and are breaking the law? Glad you made it home safely,and enjoyed meeting and greeting ya! Pete.
