Racing his green MGA Coupe, Bill Bartlett won this year’s prestigious “Simms Cup” for MG racers, at Mosport, Ontario, in June. It’s awarded annually by the “Vintage Automobile Racing Association of Canada” at their Vintage Festival race. Bartlett is from Atlanta, Georgia, but his roots go back to Toronto where he grew up, not far from the Mosport track. Bill said he was most honored to win this Canadian award, especially considering his Canadian roots.
The winner of the Simms Cup is selected by a race committee using the criteria of a MG racer: “Having demonstrated superior driving skills—in a MG prepared to an outstanding level of race readiness—while still maintaining its vintage character.”
