So a year has passed since the Kastner Cup was ran at the Jefferson 500 in 
Summit Point, WV. It was great to see how much of the excitement from last year 
spilled over to this year. There were an amazing number of Triumphs there, even 
after a few that were registered didn't make it. 

A Friday night gathering of the Great Unwashed was well attended, thanks to the 
organizers for making the effort. It was really nice to have the whole group 
together, well worth the effort. It did rekindle the camaraderie from last 
year, for sure!

With all the cars VRG had to get creative making the run groups, the TR3's and 
the TR4's ran separate groups. As far as the TR3's go, perhaps it was like 
bringing a gun to a knife fight, as the finishing order in the Sunday feature 
was TR3, TR3, TR3, Ambro, TR3, then everything else. Need to do a shout-out to 
John Styduhar, great job all weekend!

Vic Schuster brought Ambro #2 (or is it #3?) and did a great job turning good 
lap times. Vic is asking all the right questions and I'm confident will be an 
excellent steward of such an important piece of Triumph history.

Another incredible showing of GT6's! Both Dolan cars were running, this time 
the Kastner car was driven by Peter, the youngest Dolan, and both cars showed 
well. Jay De Pol looked very comfortable turning good laps, still smarting from 
a freshly removed rookie stripe. Rounding out the GT6 stable was Scott Janzen, 
who also had a good weekend.

The 2014 Kastner Cup winner Mark Wheatley continued to amaze the crowd with how 
fast a TR4 can go through Turn 10 looking like no other car on the track.

The Emery's were back with the TR7, and somehow still didn't have a third gear! 
Bill still managed to get the car around the track just fine, but I do wonder 
how much better he would go with all the gears!

The Spitfire Squadron ran really well, with David Gussack and Jessie Darrow 
being the class of their group all weekend. Good show guys.

A few more than I care to list were beaten by equipment, but that's racing 
Triumphs...
