Moss Motors Trophy - Overall Club Championship
This trophy is for the team that accumulates the most points in all 22 driving events together. Generally a team that participates in many events does well for the Moss Motors Trophy.
Tim and Jamie did not just participate in 18 of the 22, they scored well also. A 2nd place in one of the rallies and the Midget did particular well in the four Autocrosses. Rich and Sundy followed a similar strategy, but just came short in points in their MGB. This could well be the closest 1-2 overall finish ever. Ric and Nancy Maitzen participated in all events that were applicable to their TD: all four rallies and all seven tours (but no autocross and other events) which gave enough points to finish 3rd.

Victoria British Trophy - Competition Championship
This trophy goes to the team with the most points in the nine competitive events. Our MGs are designed and build for rallies and autocross. Speed, navigation, strategy, reliability, and endurance of man and machine is what counts.
Tim and Jamie competed in eight of the nine events, but it was the extraordinary autocross performance that put their Midget in1st place. Rich and Sundy did about equally well in the rallies but had a little bad luck in the autocrosses this year and placed the MGB in 2nd. Jim and Bob took a OM to one of the rallies (no points) but competed in three autocrosses which gave them 3rd place (5th overall)

TT-Type entries went op to 70 this year (from 40 in 2013, 50 in 2014 and 58 in 2015). Because Ric and Nancy Maitzen made it to 3rd overall, the T-Type award goes to Bob Lee (6st overall).
Bob was accompanied by six different navigators this year! Two guys named Mike, Michael, Richard, and grandkids Caden and Addison Carver.
