By Mike Hoinowski It’s been a few years since I was actively involved in the Motoring Challenge, little kids tend to keep you busy. Both of my daughters are getting more easily portable as they get older, and they both love our old cars so I figured it was time to get involved again! Starting…
What’s a Morgan doing in the Motoring Challenge you might ask? Apparently it’s winning it! Driven by Mark and Glynis Lee, the Morgan drew many fans this year. And we have a feeling its unique, classic beauty—along with the joy on Mark and Glynis’ faces—distracted people from seeing just how many points they were racking…
Oh I wish I was a Wienermobile driver, that is what I truly want to be. Cuz if I was a Wienermobile driver, Motoring Challengers would be stalking me!
Looking back over the year, it’s hard to pick one thing that stood out in my mind—though I must admit, I got a kick out of all the monster truck photos. But I think the thing that gave me the most joy was hearing about the groups of Challengers getting together and having fun. Without…
Allen Decker We entered the MG Club of St Louis into the St. Patirck’s Day Parade. My kids, as all kids do, love a parade. I drove my cherished Midget with my oldest daughter in this event. It was a great day and a memory we will never forget! Andrew Hardie Tombstone has been on…
The 2017 Moss Motoring Challenge was a high scoring scramble to be sure, all the way from point “A” to point “Razzmatazz!” Interestingly, assuming my addition skills have improved since third grade, the prize winners are exactly evenly split between Miata and classic British car owners. (Not that I’m trying to boost the friendly competition that…

By David Stuursma “I got everything but Hawaii and Nunavut.” I read this twice. It wasn’t that I didn’t understand what I read the first time through. Nope. Two different people wrote the same sentence to me. I couldn’t be happier announcing a two-way tie for 1st place. What a Challenge 2016 turned out to…
203 out of a possible 223 points. That’s what it took to be the top Challenger of 2015. Charlie Walter ran a quiet and steady race. When I said to him in an email, “Usually I’m aware of the folks that are putting in big miles. Not this time!” he replied: “I didn’t do this…
This year’s challenge was a little tougher than last year since as of January 8th we have a newborn! As with years past, we stuck predominantly to back roads and trying to find small towns since they tend to be more interesting than highways. Sometimes our daughter went along for part of the ride, other…
