TCMG Wins the Monterey Cup at GoF West Again!
For the second year in a row, TCMG brought home the Monterey Cup from GoF West. The cup is awarded to the single club with the most members in attendance that year. Congratulations to all who attended the event! Also notable is the daughter and son-in-law of David & Joyce Edgar, who in the Edgar’s TC won the Al Moss Memorial High Point Trophy, the premiere award for the event!
TC Provenance List Being Updated and Modernized by TCMG
The well known TC Provenance List was created by TC owner Bob Stein well over a decade ago. Steve Simmons has assisted with data submissions and updates for the past few years but the list has grown too large to manage by hand. TC Motoring Guild has jumped in to help update, modernize and maintain the list. Two of our members, Mike Simmons and Steve Simmons are currently working to convert years of hand typed notes into a sorted and organized database of TC car numbers, owner names, locations and historical data. The project will take a tremendous amount of man hours but the end result will be a fully modern and searchable database, hosted on the TCMG website. You can see the old hand-typed Provenance List HERE until the new version is completed.
Tight Competition for the Sargent Trophy!
The year is more than halfway over, and the battle for the Sargent Trophy has been fierce! The top three competitors are separated by less than 2 points, and all three have had a perfect attendance thus far. Could this be the first time we’ve awarded three Iron Bottoms in a single year?
Join us on October 24th for a very special presentation by TCMG member Tom Wilson entitled “Tanks to TCs: Life at the “Gees” 1938-1952″. Tom’s presentation, accompanied by period factory photos, is an engaging and entertaining look at what happened at MG in the TA-TD era. Tom’s in depth research into MG history, along with numerous interviews of people who worked at MG during that era comes together in one of his enjoyable presentations. You won’t want to miss it!
This meeting will be held online beginning at 6PM, and members may join 15 minutes early for conversation and settling in. Members who drive their TC 10 or more miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.
September recap: 24 members and guests attended our September meeting (17 in person and 7 virtual). Five TCs were parked at the meeting driven by Edgar, Loe, S. Simmons, Zucca and Spiegel (display only). One additional TC drove a simulated 10 miles to the meeting (Lemieux).
