I remember when you came out to Road America one year and Burt Levy drove
your car.
Remember some mid 3:50 lap times. The Jack and Joe Show has taken a few
years to get there in our TR4s, but we are coming closer.
You and Baxter and others need to come to our big blow out at Mid-Ohio in
June for SVRA's MG/Triumph Challenge...I suppose a TR powered is a bit of
stretch to qualify, but come anyway.
The FOT is going to shine.

Hi Amici! Its a privilege to be a part of the list. I have a 58 TR-3
street car with a 3/4 race engine,
and a slightly modified suspension. I race a 64 Morgan +4 that I owned
since new. In the 60's
I used to go to the races with Lew Spencer and his crew and got to know Kas,
and some of the
people who worked with him. I have owned my own shop in Santa Cruz, Ca.
since 1971. In 71, 72, and 73 we prepared a 63 Lotus Super 7 for SCCA
racing in the Northern Pacific Div. the car was
driven by Dick Dapont. We were SF regional champion all 3 years. That car
was sold to Bill Hartman in 1974 and is still being raced by him in both
SCCA and some vintage events.
In building TR-4 race engines, we have found that some of the parts
available today just aren't
up to the job. So where that has been so, we have parts made. Competition
Rocker Shafts, hard chromed timing chain tensioners, ''blueprinted" rear
main oil seals, oil pickups, stainless flowbench designed valves, forged
pistons, aluminum flywheels, and so forth.
I took a 7 year hiatus from racing myself, until last year, and this year
ran 11 events! Some lap
times are: Sears Point; 1:59, Buttonwillow long course; 2:15, Laguna
Seca; 1:54, Thunderhill;
long course; 2:16. These times are on Yokohamas, which we can run at last
in N. Ca. ( except
in HMSA Events).
I also own a 64 Sunbeam Alpine, a 74 Austin Marina, a 64 Hillman
Super Minx "Estate", a 57 300 SL Roadster, and a 64 3.8 E Type FHC.
I hope I can make a positive contribution to the list.
Regards, Greg Solow

Mark Bradakis....time to plunk your magic twanger again.
Greg Solow: <gregmogdoc@surfnetusa.com> TR3A and TR powered Morgan
Jeff Mennen: <TMFInvest@AOL.COM> GT6
Bill Warner: <bwarner@mediaone.net> TR6 Group 44 Car
John Lehman <JELehman@ix.netcom.com> GT6
Paul Smock <smockracer@AOL.COM> TR4
Here is an impressive group of additions to the FOT. Please welcome them.
It is up to them to take a few minutes to introduce themselves....but of
course THERE ARE NO RULES about this.
Also, I am not trying sell decals, but I need to let you know I have about
20 left, and they are available for $4.00 each. Popular location is on the
front of the helmet or prominent placement on your car.
New additions are partially driven by Mid-Ohio/SVRA's MG/TR Challenge
planning. Very nice low key fraternity of TR drivers, I'd say.
I think SVRA's Jack Woerhle wants in, but can't remember if he confirmed
this....Jack?
