yep, small bore did not get the breaks, though I ran 17 laps in the =
enduro, so that=E2=80=99s a good bit of track time. Lots of oil on the =
track from the small bore crowd with mechanical failures.

Jefferson 500, Summit Point, West Virginia
The pent up energy as we come out of the pandemic was apparent, the car=20=
count was off the charts. In the 3 race groups we ran in, around 106=20
cars posted times. Out of those 106 cars, 14 were Triumphs, or Triumph=20=
powered specials. Looking at lap times, 5 of those Triumphs were in the=20=
top 12. Impressive results.
The Lola Cup race had the Spitfires, and that race was won by one of the=20=
Spits out of the Vintage Racing Services camp. No surprise there,=20
anything our friends at VRS produce will be wicked fast and very well=20
driven.
The Donahue Cup race had the TR3, Ambro and Peerless GT running. Vic=20
Schuster posted a great time in the Ambro, but that race had a Bobsy=20
sports racer that ran away from the field.
The Marlboro Cup race had the later TR's and GT6's. Attrition at the=20
front over the weekend left two contenders to battle for the win, and=20
while on paper the TR250 never had a chance against a well prepped and=20=
driven Lotus Super 7, the plan was to race the guy hard and clean and=20
hope for a mistake. I was relentless, especially in the carousel,=20
getting side by side on numerous occasions. I got around him at least 3=20=
times in traffic, just to have him power around me on the next straight.=20=
But a back marker was in the right place at the right time, clogging the=20=
line on the last turn on the last lap. I used the back marker as a pick,=20=
pulled onto the front straight in the lead, and the drag race to=20
start/finish was on. The Triumph prevailed by .092 seconds!
Incredible racing, weather and camaraderie in the paddock. Doesn't get=20=
any better than this.
