I am short of a few details before I come up with the lucky list of trophy winners .

I need to know who has cars (morgans!)that were over 25 years old at the start of last season.

This applies to all cars in the MSCC championship
Thanks.

Richard, some candidates Morgan Challenge race series:
Jack Bellinger's Plus 8
David James' +4
Barry Sumner's Black Sheep (V8 Plus4)
My Plus 8
There are also a number of 4 cylinder cars which took part in the special race for them at BDC Silverstone, no doubt others will be able to supply more information.........

Richard – there are numerous ‘modern’ plus 8s which are registered as 25 years old – mine is 1977 and you would have to ask Kate Orebi Gann to go through her list of registration forms. It may not be for this forum – but when I started competing in the early 1970s the cup for 25 years old cars really meant ‘old cars’ – generally pre war. Now it includes cars such as the Bryants 1 MOG which has certainly been around in various forms for over 25 years - but is really a vary latest spec Class A car. Perhaps (like free road tax) the cup should be frozen at 1945 0r 1950.

Apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere – I am a bit out of touch with the Mog Club trophies.

Does this mean that if I buy a car over 25 years old, I get a chance of some silverware?

Chris: if someone sponsors a Cones Award, you are the man!

Could you explain how the points system works for the awards ie which events score points and how many, in 2005 i did 12 hillclimbs and sprints and won the championship but still not a sniff of the twin cam trophy.
Thanks
David

Basically, the winner in each class gets 10 points, second 9 points, 3rd 8 etcetera. Those who turn up and are scrutineered but fail to compete also gain a point. If there are less than a certain number of entrants in a particular event, then the top points gained are 5.

There are also some 'classic' events where extra points are awarded.

I want to review the scoring system, and would welcome any suggestions, comments or queries, better to e mail privately me rather than reply on an open forum. I am planning to isse updates on the championship positions throughout the year too.

At which events do you score points?

David

Richard Smith · Post by **Richard Smith** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 10:24 am

sprints series, gymkhanas, pct's,trials,race series...

I think that David's point very valid. I don't ever recall seeing a list of "classic" events & maybe this should be published in Miscellany & repeated on a regular basis.

Chris

P.S. If I got "Walls" to sponsor the cornetto cup, I suppose you'd also be eligible!

The scoring system and classic events were published in Miscellany in the past on occasion, but it may be good if, perhaps in addition, Phil Egginton and I put them on the Challenge and Sprint websites, so that all were clear about it?

Good idea....if I knew which ones were classics

Me neither - I was sort of suggesting that Richard could brief us ...

Mushrooms comes to mind.......

The Classic events at which entrants gain extra points include: Harewood Hillclimb, Club Curborought Sprint, Birkett, Madresfield, Lintridge PCT, MOG National Gymkhana, one of the Silverstone meetings.

One of the members on this forum has been incredibly helpful off-group, and an article will be submitted to Miscellany highlighting the points system, 'classic' events, plus regular updates of the Championship points leader board. I am not aware of any mushroom syndrome. Always happy to take helpful comments and suggestions, pm or e mail me if you would rather.
