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.
