Show Results

A big round of applause and many thanks to all of the participants in this year’s Gathering. Without all of you, The Gathering would just be another car show and autocross event.

— THANK YOU —

The weekend kicked off with the Blue Ridge Tour. A very nice afternoon saw many British cars headed toward the Blue Ridge Parkway in search of vistas and beautiful scenery.

Saturday was warm and sunny, which was quite a change from the cold and windy start of the event last year. It was beautiful weather for walking around and looking at so many amazing cars.

The Autocross was held at the Surry County Community College facility in Dobson. The venue is a track space used by the college to train emergency response driving skills. It is well suited for Autocross activity like ours.

Here are the results for all prizes awarded:
