Thanks Bill. I have already committed to Burt through one of his "Self
Promoting" pleas. Ha ha Burt is a good fellow and certainly has my support.
Especially if uncle jack is going to be involved. uncle jack did a lot
of work on the 63 TR 4 that I now race.
Cheers and I hope to see ALL FoT members and racers at next years' Kastner
Cup which is being hosted by Heartland Vintage Racing at Heartland Park
Topeka 19-20-21-22 August 2010. You can see more details by visiting

Amici Triumphi...
Burt Levy is busy beating the bushes and trying to raise enough money to
get another book published (in his Last Open Road series). In the real
world
books about motorsports have a very limited market. Burt has to 'self
publish in order to get er done'. That takes money, which he raises by
selling
ads in an entertaining section of his books that mimics the ads in period
motorsports magazines. Recall that we (the FOT) have purchased such ads
in the
past.
Burt started his racing career in a ratty looking TR3. He proudly
considers himself a member of the TRIUMPH community. His second book
(Montezuma's
Ferrari) was dedicated to our own Mike Belfer (Steve Belfer's dad, and my
mentor). Now he, on his own, has decided to remember Jack Drews in the
new
book. That's a done deal and will happen whether or not he gets any funds
from
the FOT. I appreciate Burt's remembering Uncle Jack. As such, I've
already sent Burt a contribution to help publish the new book.
NO PRESSURE, but I encourage all of you, but especially if you were
particularly close to Jack Drews, to consider doing the same. It does not
have to
be a big number. If you choose to do so, send your check payable to Thin
k
Fast Ink, 1010 Lake Street, Oak Park, Illinois, 60301.

PS Oh yeah...Burt told me to tell you...if you need some ideas for
motorsports related Gifts for the Holidays, you can visit his website at
www.lastopenroad.com. I bought four pairs of earrings (grand daughters).
It'll save
me a shopping trip.
