Focus Event '05 MG—Triumph Challenge - MGVR.org

left rear cycle fender, and considerably more cosmetic carnage to the Triumph. "One of
them racin' deals" was the conclusion of the post-incident discussions.
- Mysterious gremlins seemed to haunt Joe Tierno's MGA, but when race time came, he was
among the leaders…
...My most fun of the weekend was in the Group 2 race (I had turned over the wheel of
the #76 TD to my truly vintage MG-vintage racer Mike Lewis for the MGTR race) where
Pam Littlefield shadowed me and filled my mirrors for the entire race...

First time running with MGVR. I have never been welcomed so warm, so immediately.
Camaraderie is # 1 with this club. Driving standards are above average, courtesy prevails
despite competitiveness.

Wow ... really hard to boil it down to one favorite! Great track, really enjoyed running
with the T-series and MGA's, enjoyed the Panoz tour, lots of things. I suppose my personal
highlight was seeing the Parrish Award go
to Will Bowden, and the MGVR Spirit Award
going to Lou Marchant. I cannot think of two
more deserving candidates! There is plenty of
recognition for the fastest drivers on the track, but
I think our MG Vintage Racers have done a superb
job of recognizing people like Will and Lou
who might never win a race but truly demonstrate
the spirit of MG vintage racing.
