I will be there. My intent is to "tour" on Friday.

I'm driving out to BRIC in my '74 TR6 (from Boston, MA (more or less)). I
usually autocross the car - it's set up with suspension mods. I'm leaving
from BRIC and heading over to the Vintage Triumph Register National
convention in Hudson, WI the week following BRIC. Just another 3500+ mile 
journey in the 'Six.

How 'bout: "Okay, HANG ON!" Squeal... VROOOOOM VROOOM.

By way of credentials, I took Bill Stephens (of Wild About Wheels) for a 
few spins on the Drag Strip at the Roadster Factory Summer Party in '93. 
He put both runs in the "final cut" of the event video... I do have to 
admit that the extra xxx pounds of ballast took a few "tenths" off of my 
runs. Okay, it was over one second... but hey xxx pounds is a _lot_ of 
ballast.

Barnes, eh? I have the Barnes name in the "tree". Any part of your family 
ever lived in the Manchester, NH area (say about 100 years ago?).

I'll bet you can't take a passenger in the Vee....
