TC Motoring Guild Rides Again!
TCMG motored back into action on February 12 with our first driving event of the new year, the 2022 Lame Duk Kup Rallye. Drivers were challenged to find clues along scenic mountain roads and tried to outsmart the rallye master with their answers. The team of Daniel Harrison and Myah Lunceford won top honors, taking home the Duck for the year. See the upcoming March newsletter for more info on this and other events.
New Monthly Bonus Events Announced
In addition to our regular driving events, each month this year will have a bonus “do it yourself” tour. These tours will be in the spirit of our main events, keeping with the theme of each month’s activity. Bonus tours will be announced in the first half of each month, so be sure to keep an eye on the club calendar for updates!
Each bonus tour will also count for one point toward the Sargent Award, but will not be required activities to win an Iron Bottom Award. We hope you participate!
Our next monthly meeting will be held March 22 on Zoom. Our program for the evening will be a competition to test your TC mechanical knowledge, hosted by Joyce Edgar. Join us and compete to gain international fame and win fabulous prizes!
The meeting starts at 6:00 PM (Pacific). Members may join 15 minutes early.
Note that anyone making a simulated journey to the meeting in a TC by driving a minimum of 10 miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.
February recap: 27 members attended our February meeting, held online. Seven TCs were driven at least 10 miles by Thelander, Edgar, S. Simmons, Loe, Hunsberger, Lemieux and M. Simmons (trailered it around town!). Special thanks to John Bowyer for a great presentation on the “TC Wing” of his collection.

Monthly Driving Events
On Sunday, March 20, take a trip down memory lane with a visit to Valley Relics Museum in Van Nuys! The recently relocated and greatly expanded museum chronicles the history of the San Fernando Valley
(where TCMG was formed) from the 1800’s through present day, focusing primarily on the urbanization and pop culture of the 1950’s through 80’s. The collection includes photographs, neon signs, cars, bicycles, old documents and more. Further info on this event including meeting time and location is forthcoming. Stay tuned!
February Recap: 19 members and guests with five TCs and one MGA participated in the 2022 Lame Duk Kup. TCs were driven by Appell, Simmons, Zucca, Buckeridge/Einhorn and Hunsberger with Harrison in an MGA roadster. Congratulations to the team of Daniel Harrison and Myah Lunceford for winning the rallye and bringing home the duck!
