>folks,

>TR3.
>> Nothing against all the 356's that we TR folks seem to get grouped with in
>> SOVREN, but it was nice to have more than two or three TR4's in DP.

>> My thanks to Uncle Jack and Joe Alexander for introducing me to FoT and
>> racing TR's with my first TR4, #24, which unfortunately met it's demise last
>> year at Infineon primarily due to driver malfunction.
>> I thank Chuck Arnold for his nice comments on my current ride, #116, and
>> the super job Tony Garmey of Horizon Racing did over this past winter
>> transforming a TR4 with history back to Boise ID in the late 60's to a great
>> handling vintage racer with great safety features and very professional
>> engineering.
>>
>> I had not raced at Road America before and the initial test and tune last
>> Thursday was a bit overwhelming with four miles of track, but I'm pleased to
>> say I did break three minutes with a 2:59.2 + in the MOTRAH feature and had
>> a blast dicing with Sean Alexander the entire race. If we have a MOTRAH
>> event next year, I would plan on attending again with Tony and Bill Hart
>(Devin
>> TR3) and Tony's father in law, Gene Olson. Thanks Joe Alexander for
>> representing TR's so well at this event and all the other things you do for
>us.
>>
>> It s obvious I need another twenty HP's since my motor dyno's at 147 HP at
>> the flywheel, not 174!!!!! at the rear wheels like Keith's! I've got a good
>> supply of TR parts I'd trade for some speed secrets!! Bent frame anyone??
