I posted this to most of the Triumph Clubs on the right side of the Mississippi. Share if you'd like. 


The Kastner Cup 2015


With the drop of the green flag for the 2015 Kastner Cup quickly approaching, the angst builds. This will be an event to excite the senses of Triumph lovers throughout the area and promises to be an experience of epic proportions. Nothing short of life altering.


The Details:


Kastner Cup 2015/Jefferson 500 Race Weekend

May 14th – May 17th, 2015

Summit Point Motorsports Park, Summit Point, West Virginia

Held in conjunction with the ever famous Jefferson 500 vintage race weekend brought to you by VRG (Vintage Racing Group), the Kastner Cup is an exclusive race for Triumph or Triumph powered vintage race prepared cars. Special guest of honor Kas Kastner himself will make the decision of who will be subjugator of such a coveted prize as the Kastner Cup. His selection for the Kastner Cup champion is based on track performance, presentation of the car, and enthusiasm in vintage racing and not necessarily the race winner. The champion is announced directly after the Kastner Cup’s checkered flag is brandished.


The Jefferson 500:


The Jefferson 500 race weekend promises to be packed full of vintage racing and festivities. This year’s Grand Marshal is Brian Redman. The Jefferson 500 has evolved into one of the most respected vintage races in the Northeast. For the past 20 years, it has consistently fielded 200 plus vintage racers eager to bask in the excitement that the Summit Point Circuit provides with upwards of 8 race groups. Triumphs are the featured Marque for the weekend, feeling right at home on this curvilineal raceway. If you are a racer and want to take advantage of the FREE open practice day (Thursday, May 14th), register on or before April 18th


So far, registered entries for the Kastner Cup are as follows:

4- TR3s, 12- TR4s, 2- TR250s, 6- TR6s, 9- GT6s, 15- Spitfires, 1- Herald, and 1- Peerless (Triumph powered)


There are also performance based awards brought to you by Snook’s Dream Cars in the form of an exquisite beer stein with engraved classes on each award.

Triumph Sedans

GT6

TR3

TR4

TR250/5/6


A new addition to the prestigious class awards that adds a new element of competition, and arguably the most important performance based award (aside from the Kastner Cup itself) is


The Peggy Kastner Award


This one is new to the award list and promises to be the prize that all the racers want. We all want to impress the ladies, but to impress the first lady of Triumph, the racers really need to be dressed to impress, bring their finest skills, and perform with all the right stuff. I imagine this award will not be an easy one to win.

If you are a spectator, there are many attractions to add to the vintage racing festivities. Starting with up close and personal “old school” facilities with great points of view from just about every angle, full access to the pits, cars, and racers, ample camping at the track, and of course an accompanying car show brought to you by Country Roads Car Club held in the backdrop of the 1.7 mile Summit Point Circuit.
