June 2010 Issue - New England Fiero Association

MAFOA’s first event of the 2010
season was the Freysinger Cup
Challenge held on May 15 th at
Fregysinger Buick / GMC Inc. in
Mechanicsburg. What a glorious
day it was, one could ask for
nothing more.
Freysingers once again proved to
be the perfect host supplying
trophies, prizes, t-shirts, drinks /
pastries, tech session, test drives
at all three of their dealerships
(Buick /GMC, Mazda, Hyundai),
and a perfect show field location.
Special thanks go out to Garry
Freysinger (our main man),
brother Tom Freysinger (who was
in charge of weather – and did a
splendid job), Ron Barrick (dealer
coordinator), Brad Strine (tech
session), and Richard Murray (test
drives). Our hosts could be seen
throughout the day helping
MAFOA and the Keystone State
Chapter of POCI in organizing the
show field, stocking drinks,
providing test drives and just
generally taking in the 50 show
cars present.
There were 28 Fieros registered
for the six classes. Oddly, there
was only one modified car in the
group. Almost two-thirds of the
cars entered were stock. The
trophies were unique in that they
were not the usual trophy or
plaque usually presented. Instead,
the trophies were parts packages.
First place winners received a
wiper blade set / battery terminal
bolt set / radiator cap / thermostat.
This parts package has a $41
value at the parts counter. Second
place winners got the same less
the thermostat, and third place
winners got that less the radiator
cap. Class winners as tallied by
our registration table / results

The Best of Show awards are at
the heart of the Freysinger Cup
Challenge. The MAFOA
participant cross-club selection of
“Best of Show - Keystone State
Chapter Pontiacs” was a “topdrawer”
total frame-off
restoration of a black 1962 Grand
Prix owned by AJ and Carol
Koszi. The Keystone State
Chapter cross-club selection of
“Best of Show – MAFOA” was
the orange modified ’86 GT of
Rich Sabulsky. The Dealer’s
Choice of “Best of Show” from
both show fields was also the
Koszi’s black 1962 Grand Prix.
