Ah! We all got those letters, actually. Even me with my spastic
Spit. :-) Story I got was that the next Jag slalom event is also
their concours and they wanted to keep it all "Jag-war". Nothing
personal against Triumph, Austin or even Chebby owners. :-)
BTW...your runs at the slalom were incredible. I started writing a
post slalom report but a small family crisis kept me from completion.
<sigh>
To wit:
"Bob Lang was exactly as I pictured him to be. He arrived on the seen
fashionably late, looking like a cross between a seasoned
photojournalist and trained assassin. He pulled up alone in his
sun-ripened TR6 replete with two racing tires wedged in the passenger
seat, top down of course. We exchanged greetings but he didn't spend
much time talking...he had stuff to do...*serious* stuff! "
