You read it right. The Lucas Cup, the coveted Rally trophy, in the on 
going Tr vs MG rivalry in the Delaware Valley has returned.

Today marked the third year I have participated in the Annual Fall MG vs 
Triumph Rallye. Not real sure how many years this rally has been going 
on, but the last time the Philly MG Club won the trophy was that year, 
Oct 19th, 1997. We met again in the spring and fall of '98, '99, and 
2000. 

Today was beautiful day for driving in E Bucks Co. PA. Mid 70's clear. 
Absolutely Top Down weather. We started out at one minute intervals at 
about 10 AM. I was in the Midget, taking the risk on the engine because I 
had to help try to get the Cup. There were 2 Midgets, 6 B's and a T. 
Against 22 Tr's of various flavors, including 3 with those goofy Surrey 
Tops. 

Well we (Theresa and I) were 20th off the line. After 1:48 min and 22 
look for the ??? type questions were were at the finish line. We were 
about 17th or so in. We stood around and sipped some home made beers 
(Very Good!!) at the home of one of the Delaware Valley Triumph Club 
Members homes, he makes the beer, waiting for the results. Now the fall 
rally is sponsored by the Tr club, while the Spring rally is sponsored by 
the MG club. So the Tr club was tallying the results. So we MG rallyists 
were hanging around outside when the Tr group came out of the house. They 
were looking a bit dejected. hehehehehe, The first question from one of 
the Tr members was "Who won?". So instead of announcing the results from 
3rd to 1st, like normal, they just named First. When they called out 
Larry Maly I looked around in wonder. Then it was announced what car 
number and it was us!!!! Theresa and I had won the rally!!!. There was a 
tie for first, but the tie breaker was time, and we won by 5 minutes over 
the 2nd place Tr driver.

Now remember I said there were 2 Midgets and a T?? Well the T came in 
3rd. All those Tr's and B's were are outnumbered by and the Midget and 
the T won and placed. hehehehehe

Now the Lucas Cup has returned to the MG Club and, right at this moment 
and till the Spring Rally, is sitting in MY HOUSE!!!! YIPPEEEEE!!

3 years of trying and coming close, today, Victory is soooooo sweet.
