My pal, Dave Zipkin just sent me some pictures from our November event at Summit Point, so I've posted them.
There are a few from the Summit 4-Hour Night Enduro included.
And I put up some from Lime Rock that have been here since September.
Go ~HERE~ to see the new pictures:

OUCH! You did all that damage to the poor little thing?
 
Looks like a blast but it looks like you got a lot af work ahead of you now to get it back into shape.
Ouch!

where is all the light coming from in your grill in the headlight picture?

I think your referring to the night picture (it's kind of fuzzy). That was taken ta the 4-Hour night enduro. We were going to run our other Sprite (1275) but it burned a valve, so we slapped the headelights and driving lights into mine in about 15 minutes (my car doesn't normally have lights). We ripped the grill out of mine to fit the driving lights and held them in mostly with zip-ties. My car runs a small Mitsubishi alternator with a "slow turn" pulley, but it worked fine (our other car has an alternator driven off the driveshaft).
Some of you have referred to ~MY WRECK~ .
That happened at Watkins Glen just before start-finish bridge in 2003 in . Came off the last turn onto the straight and spun at near top speed in someone's oil. Luckey WG uses the NASCAR "Safer-Barriers" (giant styofoam blocks). I destroyed several of them....lokked like it was snowing! I had the car fixed in two weeks...had to since I wanted to run it at Summit that year.
The tow yellow Sprites in the other pic hit each other at Pocono...just a racing thing and no hard feelings.
 
Did you do the repairs yourself? The back end looks like it moved over a bit. Then again so does the front end.
 
Johnny:

Nice picture....I recognize all of the background (no surprise!).

Your car would be a great car in our one of our EMRA TT events. I'm pasting in the EMRA 2006 schedule below the line.

vping-No frame damage, just sheet metal. I sawed the old stuff off and welded on a new rear fender from a parts car. The front fender was swapped in about an hour. One upper shock arm was bent too as was a door...easy stuff to replace.

It's nice how you can easily change these things out. I have not swaped a quarter panel yet but hope to try it out soon. I'll figure it out when I get to it but if i have trouble I know this forum can be of great assistance to me.

You can completely strip an MG Midget from sunrise to sunset if you wanted to. That is one of the fun thigs about these cars.
