Waterford Hills Road Racing Forums

Greetings, I'm new to the forum and hope to get better aquatinted soon with what sounds like a friendly club racing community at Waterford Hills.

I am interested if anyone recalls the people connected with an MGB I came to own this past year.

I have all the SCCA logbooks starting in 1972, and this car did a lot of races!

Michael Krafchek was the first owner listed, and did a driver's school at Waterford Hills, but then Ted Hight drove it many times from 1973-78.

It may have been yellow, then green #54.

From 1988-94 , the car was red with a broad blue stripe along the bonnet and boot, and blue panels
along the sides.

It wore #1(modestly) and was driven by Terry Moody.

Bill Maciolek was listed as an owner in 1986.

I just wonder if any of these fellows, or their families, might be curious what became of the car?

Now reconfigured for Vintage Racing, it is Black #28 and lives in my garage outside Pittsburgh.

Would be delighted to hear from any Waterford Hills folks who have a connection, and I hope to visit the track this season or next.

Regards,
Geoff Herald

Welcome Geoff,

If you could post any older (logbook?) photos, that certainly might help jog some memories!

Brian

the name Bill Maciolek is vaguely familiar. did the car run EP during that era? I bet Mark Windecker has a pic somewhere.

you probably already know, but Wateford Hills will host a vintage event this year again, July 23-25. might be a good time to see if the car still knows its way around the hills...

Hi Geoff,
Bill Maciolek (iirc ) ran New Boston Auto Service. The car was fast and ran up front. The car was racing in the 90's ( as seen at Mid-Ohio )
John Payne ( a local not much on social media / internet ) ran a out of the same stable with a G-prod Sprite that was very fast but fragile.
Next time i chat with John i will ask what he recalls of Bill and the MG-B. Likely quite a bit. And yes, We 2nd Andrews' invitation and come and enjoy Vintage weekend. No worries, we have a very unique program to help first time visitors to the track, have a good time on track and off.
