> 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!
