That whole discussion has been going on for years now.  Bill McDivet put an 
article in the TVT around two years ago and he was been complaining that the 
little Triumph's get no respect for over a decade.  This year a very worthy 79 
Pageant Blue Spitfire was chosen by 7 Judging Team Captains after reviewing all 
the 1st place winners in class. It was very close between a Stag, TR3A and 
TR6.  The vote was not unanimous but it was pretty close to that and the 
majority ruled.  I was most likely the only person participated in the recent 
uproar 
so I will simply say that the Spitfire was the best Concours Car on the field 
in Rockford.
