Club in New England rallying. Any local motorsport club can run for
the Davidson Cup. The single club to receive the points must be
indicated by the crew on its scoreboard. The points are earned by the

Cameron Dewar Cup
In 1973, the New England Region, SCCA received the donation of
a new rally award, the Cameron Dewar Cup. This cup was given in
memory of Cameron Dewar, motorsports writer for the Boston Herald,
and long-time friend of New England rallying. The Cameron Dewar Cup
will be awarded to the competitor who has attained the greatest
number of points in the New England Rally Championship without regard
to the competitor's status as a driver and/or navigator, in Class A,
B and/or C, or to any reference to membership in any club or
championship. A number of events up to two less than the total number
in the championship series for the year may contribute points towards
each competitor's Cameron Dewar Cup points, e.g., if there are twelve
championship events in a series, each competitor will accrue points
for up to ten events. Each event started by a competitor will accrue
points until the maximum allowable number of events has been reached,
e.g., in the above example, if the competitor started eleven events,
the first ten will be used. Point values towards Cameron Dewar Cup
follow the same schedule as for placement points towards the New
England Rally championship. In the event of a tie, the tie will be
broken except where the tie is between two competitors who have
competed as a team for the entire series. The tie will be broken by
determining the competitor(s) with the most first place finishes,
then second, third, etc. finishes as necessary.
