Autumn Sports Classic - Best in Show and People’s Choice

Meet our winner, Ken Kumiega. The KX-1 was designed to embrace the classic style and excitement of early vintage road course racing. Originally designed 42 years ago by Ken Kumiega, Automotive Mechanical Engineer, as a concept road course race car of the 1960s. This car was modeled to reflect true race car dynamics and styling of the classic racers from the early vintage Le Mans and Grand Prix road courses. It is an original “one-off” concept production, with competition race engineering and performance. Body, frame, interior and engineering is original – not a modified production car. It laid dormant for years, and then completed in 2007. Considered “technical art” by many, it was also hand built by Ken with over 10,000 hours, over a period of 26 years, to carefully combine art and engineering in the design. The KX-1 has been seen on display and during exhibition races at Watkins Glen International and the Concours d’Elegance at the Vintage Grand Prix Festival in Watkins Glen, as well as the Syracuse Nationals.

Best in Show, KX-1 Designed and Built by Ken Kumiga.

WHO WE ARE

In 1983, a few MG enthusiasts decided, it was time, Buffalo New York and the surrounding area was to be represented at the international level. The Buffalo Octagon Association has enjoyed over thirty years of success and looks forward to many more. We take pride in keeping the "The Sports Car America Loved First" on the road with enthusiasm and technical advice. We continue to promote the exchange of information and camaraderie to owners and enthusiasts of MG sports cars. Members enjoy gatherings and shared mutual information so that we as custodians can enjoy these vehicles and keep them on the road.

To ensure the future of our fine organization however, require member volunteers, (for actually everything) but especially, event planning and ‘contributions’ to the website. Volunteers are best encouraged when, members show their support through, participation in events and monthly meetings.

The long-term health of our Club will require continued enthusiasm for the MG Mark with a broader membership base. Our club has always welcomed all brands of collector cars to compete at the Autumn Sports Classic Show and participate in all events. Our plan is to seed the future with a special invitation and welcome to all sports car enthusiasts, to become members, with a continued focus on our beloved MG.
