Ken,
I agree with every word you say.
And for the record I am a forever loyal supporter and fan of all Triumph rac=
ers and Triumph cars - Have been for over 40 years.
I support and cheer for all of them regardless of what parts they use to rac=
e well.
The 6 cylinder cars bring a slightly different set of arguments to the table=
.
Compared to =E2=80=9Cstock=E2=80=9D the Webber option is great because it in=
creases the potential fuel and air delivery from 2 small units to 6 large un=
its.
A substantial modification always involving a custom intake manifold with ad=
ded throats.
A production category modification that was simply not allowed for GT6 racec=
ars in Any of the historic regulations that most vintage organizations claim=
 to adhere to.=20
Slowly, as the 3rd, 4th, and 5th decades of GT6 racing entered into a more m=
odern era, some organizations started allowing cars with the =E2=80=9Ccheate=
r carbs=E2=80=9D for the GT6 platform.=20
I don=E2=80=99t mind if people run them in any organization.=20
I may soon be forced to run them myself.
And in my lifelong GT6 racing family they will always factually be referred t=
o as =E2=80=9CCheater carbs=E2=80=9D =E2=80=94As we=E2=80=99ve been calling t=
hem that for decades.
