The Kastner Cup

The Kastner Cup is awarded to one Triumph Competitor each year.

Every year the venue is changed. It began on the East coast in 2003. The following year was on the West coast and the third year a location more handy to people living in the Southern and Midwest states--the Atlanta Raceway.

The same driver cannot win the cup in successive years. The award is based on 50% for the competitive results on the race track during the event (not necessarily the winner), 25% for the presentation of the car, and 25% for the attitude and interest in Vintage racing.

7th Annual Kastner Cup Event Details

The 7th Annual Kastner Cup event will take place at Portland International Raceway during the Columbia River Classic Road Race in Portland, Oregon on Labor Day Weekend Sept. 4-7, 2009.

Word has been received from SOVREN ( www.sovren.org) that they enthusiastically support Triumph and the Kastner Cup for the CRC race. There will be a special Triumph race and SOVREN will promote this as a Triumph event. Since the CRC shares the venue with the All British Field Meet this will mean a heck of a lot of street and show Triumphs in the ABFM area.

Kas says this is a great race track with good paved pits and a neat town to visit. Be there.
