Info


It's getting closer and closer each day!  The start of the 2007 driving
season will be upon us before you know it so you'd better take the time to
prepare your car for one of the best driving events of the year - The
Missouri Endurance Rally and Missouri Mini-Endurance Trial!!!  
 
Don't be left out again when you can participate in the event that is a true
test of driver and car; the event that takes you over some of the most
beautiful roads in the Midwest; and the event that never (NEVER EVER!)
leaves you wanting more!  
 
We already have registrations in and plans are being finalized.  Register
soon for your chance at the glory that is winning the MER (OK, there's
really not a lot of glory there and the trophies are only mildly amusing;
but at least it gets you out of the house after a long winter wait!)
 
Unfortunately, it was really touch & go there for a bit.  The last two
weekends of March seem to be busy times for the hotels in St Louis and we
had trouble finding a hotel who would work with us and give us a conference
room.  The new hotel will be:
 
Comfort Inn Westport (MO608)
12031 Lackland Rd. , St. Louis, MO, US, 63146 
Phone: (314) 878-1400     Fax: (314) 878-0905
 
It's located right next to the Red Roof Inn for those of you who are used to
going there.  Please make sure you say that you're with the MG Club of St
Louis/Missouri Endurance Rally.  If they can't find the room block, let me
know.

More details:
12th Annual Missouri Endurance Rally

And 5th Missouri Mini-Endurance Test


March 24 - 25, 2007


 

Standard class:  British vehicles made before 1981

Modern class: British vehicles made from 1981-1995 or fitted with EFI/engine
management systems.

 

We will be meeting at the Comfort Inn Westport (12031 Lackland Rd, St Louis,
Missouri) at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 24th.  Teams will have until 9
a.m. on Sunday, March 25th to reach all the locations that are given at the
meeting, answer the required questions, and make it back to the parking lot
of the Comfort Inn Westport. The team covering the least number of miles
wins.   Any team that arrives after 9 a.m. is disqualified.   We will then
have an awards ceremony at 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning. 

 

Before the teams leave on Saturday morning, they will drive a set course to
calculate any mileage offset that they may have with their odometers.   The
offset will be determined mathematically.   Also before leaving, teams will
be required to sign an event waiver then seal their driver's license in an
envelope.  Any team that gets stopped and has to break the seal on the
envelope is disqualified.  Teams must drive in a safe manner and obey all
Missouri traffic laws.

 

Those competing in the 5th Annual Missouri Mini-Endurance Test will also
meet at Hooters and participate in the mileage check run.  After the check
run, teams will be given a list of locations and will have until midnight
that night to make it back to the start.  Teams arriving after midnight will
be disqualified.  The awards ceremony will take place at 10:00 a.m. Sunday. 

 

New Class:

For the first time, British vehicles made from 1981-1995 will be allowed to
enter in their own class.  Also included in the new class will be
"modernized" British vehicles that have been fitted with electronic fuel
injection and engine management systems.  

 

If you wish to stay the night before and/or after the rally, the recommended
hotel is the Comfort Inn Westport, which is located next to the Hooters at
12031 Lackland Rd.  Their number is (314) 878-1400.

to him at 5444 Sutherland Ave, St Louis MO 63109.  You can also leave a
