Joe,
Well, we have the Modified Concours Class for the "no rules" Triumph's and
they are eligible for BOS. It must be a "Slam Dunk" you might say since the
Authenticity deductions on a Showroom Triumph effect the scoring but I am sure
it
will happen someday. We are also working on expanding the Concours Modified
Class at VTR Nationals. I can't say much now but look for the "Shape of
Things to Come."
How about that Spitfire 1500 BOS Triumph. Not sure but this may be a first
for VTR. I know my good friend Bill McDivit was always saying that it would
never happen because we would not recognize the "little Triumph's." Well, it
did
and I hope Bill gets the word and it help's him recover from his health
problems so he can once again return the his job of Spitfire Concours Judging
Team
Captain.
Warning: In Texas the featured Marque will be the GT6! 40th Anniversary, "A
Fastback is Born." I am going to turn it on and get my Signal Red 70 GT6+
DONE! It will be a no rules Modified Triumph built for autocross. Of Course
unless I find a way to get some seat time I will have to let my good friend
Triumph Bob Palmer drive it. He can still beat my best.
Cheers,
Darrell
