Gary,
I thought that was probably you in the Grape Ape when I saw it at the hotel.
I wish you would have come by and introduced yourself. Of course you
probably did and couldn't because we were always busy working on the car.
Mark and I had a very tiring weekend but it paid off in the end. We ended
up with second place after starting in 8th position and turning the fastest
laps by .5 seconds. At least the First two places were filled by TR6's!

I would echo that!! I made the 450 mile round trip trek just to watch.
Drove my 74 Magenta TR 6 (Most of you know it as Grape Ape) and it made the
trip without incident and was VERY enjoyable. This was the first longish
trip I have made since doing the various modifications so it was a bit of a
shake down trip too. Man, what a ride and the races were just outstanding.
Way to go Friends of Triumph and all the other fantastic Triumph teams.
I have several (Read MANY) pictures that I will try to incorporate into the
next issue of 6-Pack. (For those interested the next issue of 6-Pack is
complete and being printed as I write this.) It was great to see many old
friends (not in years of age! Ha ha but in the sense of knowing each
other). It seems everyone had a good time except for the usual breakage
during racing. Larry you have got to replace ALL those liners!! I just
can't stand to see a good man down. Tim you guys just kicked butt!! Joe,
you are the best!!!
Three Cheers for Triumphs!!!
Best personal regards,
