Fellow FOTers I have only heard from two FOTers (not including Kas) who will be at the San Diego Triumpest. The current plans are to get together informally immediately after Kas's question and answe
Just returned from the great State of Arkansas and reading my emails. In fact, I was in Bill Clinton's childhood home of Hot Springs. Nice time fo year there, colors changing in the tree and it was
While I see tremendous safety benefit in having this on a racecar, I do not want to order it if it will not fit on my TR3A since it is non-refundable. Do any of you foresee a problem with the ballis
Anyone have a quick reference of pre 1980 TR7 chassis numbers verses the year of production? Looking for start/finish for each year. Thanks in advance, Cary
This is a relative basic question. However, I cannot seem to find an answer in my Triumph books. Robson uses the term "registration number" in his book on "The Works Triumphs" see his appendix. I am
My Ford F350 (460 cu in) pickup tow vehicle from time to time does not shift (e. g from second to third). This happens under load of a 20 foot enclosed trailer with race car, the totals which I an e
This story started last spring when an FOT member posted a note about a project Spitfire racecar being for sale in OK. I purchased the car because it had a good 1970s and 1980s race history when it w
If you have copies of Sports Car Graphic, SCCA's Sports Car, and/or TSOA from the year 1963 through 1973 or from 1981 to 1984 that need a new home or you want to sell, I am looking for some. Regards,
My understanding until last week was there was not a national SCCA champion in various classes before 1964. However, I recently saw a 1964 Oil Company poster proclaiming that that certain 1963 racer
The interesting thing about this old Oilzum Poster is that it lists SCCA National Champions, SCCA Northeast Division Champions, SCCA New England region Champions and SCCA Central Central Division Ch
Your absolutely right under the current SCCA championship program. However, my question related back to pre-1964 when there was no ARRC. Kas Kastner & Mike Cook agree that each divisional champ was
I was in 9th grade in a rural Wisconsin city in 1963. I had never seen an SCCA race, let alone participate in one. My interest back then was baseball...playing baseball and listening to the Milwauke
Thank you for your clarification of this matter. However, it raise another issue - the use of spacers. Do vintage rules allow this? If so, what are advantages/disadvantages of leaving the TR4 axles
I was under the impression that Triumphs still ran in more than one production class. Is that true? Is there greater options in classes other than EP ? Secondly, the Covair option has been discussed
Are these SCCA limits applied at all of the classes or do some have more freedom to make axle/housing changes? The "logical" next question is how open the various Vintage groups are to modifications.
That is an interesting theory. It sounds logical. How do we explore this further? Does this inherently imply that there is nothing that can be done to reengineer the factory parts? Cary
The original cc: on this had the wrong url. I have suggested that TR2 be added to list as well as Spitfires/GT6s, TR7/TR8. Please read full text below. --part1_8.893ef63.26c0290e_boundary Content-Di
I simply do not feel that I have enough information at this time to commit $1500 or more on an axle solution. Having a university as well as the expert at CAT look at these axles is a good one. If t
