NOTE: all results were taken from original issues of the Cosworth Vega Magazine, the official publication of the CVOA, Inc. When available, the car’s sequential build (dash number) is listed next to the owner’s name.
Scoring systems varied greatly from year to year until a standardized system was adopted by the CVOA in 1997. Scores are stated, if available, in a percentage of the maximum possible score. 100% is a perfect score. The listed scores will be helpful in gauging the competition from year to year. Race cars, cars that were either Cosworths without the correct engine or other cars, such as Vegas or Astres with Cosworth Vega engines, when known, are not included in these results.
Additional information is given, such as results in other Roundup events, in order to highlight those cars that were driven-to and participated in other events during the Roundup, therefore, they were not “trailer queens”. It is customary in other marque clubs to award additional points, based upon one-way mileage, to cars driven to their meets and often the results of a driving event are used to break ties in concours judging. It is hoped that CVOA will adopt this practice at some future date.
