FoT,
I am looking for someone to write a progressive series of 'press releases'
over the next 10 months...about three should do it.
This event has some real magic associated with it.
We are not as organized at the MG guys, but we can still look good.
Ideally, the writer of the press release will also be an attendee.
Thanks,
Joe Alexander
Take a look at the Elva reunion release that we just posted.

Press Release
************************************
Vintage Collier Cup MG Race
FIVE MGs Win Awards
It all began in 1985 with SVRA's Collier Cup race for MGs at their Zippo
Vintage Grand Prix, and it has steadily gathered momentum over the years.
At first there was only the "Collier Cup" award for this race, which gets
awarded to a MG racer in the race - voted by the MG racers there - as best
representing the MG vintage racing spirit. Then came the "Denver Cornett Jr.
Trophy" for the first overall MG in the race, and the "T Cup" for the first
place
T series MG in the race. NAMGAR later added the "Bucher-Decker Trophy" for
the first MGA. And now to round out the awards, this year the MG Car Club -
Western New York Center added the "Bill Glanville Memorial Cup" for the
first MG Midget in the race. And Bill's widow Suzanne made its inaugural
presentation. This is just a reflection of how popular this race has grown
over 22
years. And although this year's event didn't see the best weather, that
didn't slow down the MG enthusiasm and racing. 37 MGs of all types showed up
to
have a go of it this September at Watkins Glen, and when the checkered flag
fell the honors went to the following MG racers:
-Collier Cup - Bill Shields, Pa, MGB
-Denver Cornett Jr. Trophy - John Targett, Oh, MGB
-T Cup - Jeff Brown, Pa, MGTD
-Bucher-Decker Trophy - Joe Tierno, N.Y., MGA
-Bill Glanville Memorial Cup - Gregg Kuzuhowski, N.J., MG Midget
John commented on receiving his trophy "I had an emotional reaction to
receiving Denver's Cup. For some reason he repeatedly use to say that he
wanted
me to win his trophy" (Denver passed away in 2006). Gregg reflected "I was
honored to accept the Glanville trophy". The MGTD that Jeff raced was the
former Bob Colaizzi MG that won the first Vintage Collier Cup in 1985. And
Joe
Tierno's MGA is the same MGA that Bob Bucher won the 1957 Collier Cup with
50 years ago! It just keeps getting better and better!
