Out of the Woodwork 2025
Lebanon, NJ: October 10-12, 2025
For 2025, TVRCCNA is going back to the classics with a return to Round Valley State Park in Lebanon, NJ - home to the first show from 1983-1995 and over 20 shows over the years. As in the past for 'stand alone' Woodworks, this Woodwork will be open to all foreign marques.
Mike Bigland is coming over from the UK as our guest of honor. Mike was on the M series design team. He designed the M frame and rear suspension vertical links as well as influencing many other aspects of the car.
Schedule of Out of the Woodwork 2025 (all times are approximate)
Thursday
Arrive at the hotel, relax, meet with friends.
Friday
The Friday drive this year will start from the hotel. Please be there with a full tank of gas as we will not be stopping for fuel along the route. There will be about 10 miles on the highway at the beginning. Gather around 9:30am for the drivers meeting and cars are off at 10am. We will stop for lunch around noon then continue on some great country roads in New Jersey with a mid afternoon arrival for our dinner location (approximately 2pm). The mileage for the drive is roughly 60 miles. Bob Steffens has graciously agreed to host us for the evening. Drivers are of course free to return to the hotel if they want to prep for Saturday but Bob lives across the street from a Cidery, there are a couple exotic car dealers that have agreed to let our drivers visit and see their inventory and of course Bob has a very eclectic mix of cars and mad scientist creations on his farm. Should Round Valley produce another “wetwork” Bob will host in the barn. Dinner will be your choice of steak or lobster with various appropriate sides. Cost per person is $25. Those not interested in the picnic are more than welcome to stay and enjoy the company at Bob’s and are more than welcome to visit the cidery for dinner options there as they will have a food truck.
Deadline for dinner and signing up for the drive and/or dinner is September 30th due to the need to place an order. We will limit the drive to a maximum of the first 45 cars to sign up and will have 2 or 3 group leaders so we are not a 45 car procession trying to keep together. For those arriving during the day Friday after the drive leaves you are more then welcome to sign up for the dinner as well. The address with directions will be posted at the front desk of the hotel.

A Note on non-TVR Awards:
It has been a while since TVRCCNA has hosted a standalone show. For non-TVR Marques, we will have — at a minimum — four award classes: Best MG, Best Triumph, Best Austin-Healey, and Best Other British. If we see sufficient pre-registrations (for example, a large number of Triumph TR6's) then we will add additional classes. If you are a member of a club that wants to bring a number of cars and wishes to ensure a specific class, please contact us before September 1, 2025 to make sure we can do so.
