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.
