Bob,
Thanks for the corrections. The records should be changed. Too important.
What a shining day in the history of Triumphs.
It was good to revisit it. But it makes us wonder why the design of the thro=
w out bearing fastener was not changed, instead of following us all the way t=
hru the TR6.
We all wonder about the schedule in June. And hope that the right decisions w=
ill be made. Provisionally, we will see you and Jean, there.
Regards,
Joe Alexander

ave the trophy that was presented to the team for the first in class win. T=

as the heading of my facebook page is of the Triumph team. I will try to a=
dd that photo and the photo of the winning car with Mike and myself and the=
class winning trophy sitting on the hood (bonnet). There was none of the A=
merican magazines that got the results correct. There is an English car ma=
gazine that did get it right. If you see me, ask me how I could have, shou=
ld have, gotten 18th place instead of 19th. It was the way of gentleman r=
acing in those days. Once again, I hope that this will put this matter to b=
ed. Thank you everybody for having an interest. =20
