2nd and 3rd - Just Missed the Trifecta

 At the Portland ABFM the Elva took home Peoples choice trophies

 Hey we won

 2nd in one Class
 3rd in  Another

While My Triumph friends all hauled in the gold

I had the other two trophies singly in two classes

Well how did that happen    -  Well classification is the short answer

These events are run by Marque clubs  in turn  - Land Rover, Triumph, MG, Austin Healey, Jaguar, Mini

Lotus get's their own section but don't usually run a field event - they are more likely to rent the track
Morgan guys are usually manning the beer tent

British Cars 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's  -  are grouped together    

We have  Rolls Royce, Jensen, Bentley, Hillman, A30, A40, Turner, Ginetta,  TVR  British Ford


It is easy to judge in the other classes  -  the other cars look alike and stay alike -  the comparatives are easy - is this MGB better than the one next to it or the one five down the line
 BJ8's or TR6's  -

 I can imagine the panty bunching when a 100/4 is added to the 100/6 pile - the Horror

 That will just not do  -  Corrections will be made

So the marque clubs are pretty focused on who won their respective class  and the "Nun of the Above" are left to chance.

I propose  a random "Nun of the above"  owner be chosen to sort stuff out - we are used to irregularity - we have to know other cars - as some of the parts on our cars originated on them.

And we can avoid - Double Dipping Trophies

-  No No the TVR 3000S is a 70's car  not a 50's car
-  Oh my god somebody put the Invicta in as a 50's car - the Cad
- The Daimler Dart entry should not go into negative numbers

Just my suggestion - I hope someone is paying attention
