Hello FOT,
 
I wanted to report some great news regarding the Sonoma Kastner Cup.  As many of you may be aware, the registrations by Triumph drivers is very low this year.  We only have a dozen cars to date.  But significantly, SVRA has committed that the Kastner Cup will run as a separate run group throughout the weekend regardless of the car count. 
 
This includes the Kastner Cup race on Saturday, and a KC Reunion race on Sunday.  Most cars will also be able to run in their regular run group as well as the Kastner Cup.  There is a conflict with Triumphs that may run in Group 8 but we have asked for a schedule adjustment and we should know what changes they can make by next week.
 
Bottom line is that we will have 30 minute races both Saturday and Sunday.  Also important is that the test day includes three 30 sessions; 1.5 hours total on track.  Sonoma has a brand new race surface this year, so it will be interesting to find out how that impacts lap times.
 
I also want to confirm what Henry Frye wrote recently that the new fire supression system requirements will not be enforced until next year.  Regarding tires, the Kastner Cup is open.  Since we don't have any special tire limitations, just run on what you have in the past or what you may want to try out this year.  However, if you're running slick tires for example, you will not be eligible for a points/podium finish in your regular run group; but that will not impact your Kastner Cup results.   
 
So I ask this question; who is going to win the two Kastner Cup races in 2024?  While our Grand Marshall Hardy Prentice will select the Kastner Cup Trophy Winner, the field is wide open for race podium finishes without the 250k or TR8's running.  I think its stacking up to be an outstanding weekend with lots of track time and unknown race results.
 
I hope you'll consider joining in the fun if you're not registered yet.  Thanks.
 
Curt Johnston

 great news regarding the Sonoma Kastner Cup.&nbsp; As many of you may be aw=
are, the registrations by Triumph drivers is very low this year.&nbsp; We on=
ly have a dozen cars to date.&nbsp; But significantly, SVRA has committed th=
at the Kastner Cup will run as a separate run group throughout the weekend r=
egardless of the car count.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=3D=

pan style=3D"font-family:&quot;Helvetica&quot;,sans-serif;color:#333333">Thi=
s includes the Kastner Cup race on Saturday, and a KC Reunion race on Sunday=
.&nbsp; Most cars will also be able to run in their regular run group as wel=
l as the Kastner Cup.&nbsp; There is a conflict with Triumphs that may run i=
n Group 8 but we have asked for a schedule adjustment and we should know wha=
t changes they can make by next week. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p cl=

.&nbsp; Also important is that the test day includes three 30 sessions; 1.5 h=
ours total on track.&nbsp; Sonoma has a brand new race surface this year, so=
 it will be interesting to find out how that impacts lap times. <o:p></o:p><=

cently that the new fire supression system requirements will <strong><u><spa=
n style=3D"font-family:&quot;Helvetica&quot;,sans-serif">not</span></u></str=
ong> be enforced until next year.&nbsp; Regarding tires, the Kastner Cup is o=
pen.&nbsp; Since we don't have any special tire limitations, just run on wha=
t you have in the past or what you may want to try out this year.&nbsp; Howe=
ver, if you're running slick tires for example, you will not be eligible for=
 a points/podium finish in your regular run group; but that will not impact y=
our Kastner Cup results.&nbsp; &nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p cl=

024?&nbsp; While our Grand Marshall Hardy Prentice will select the Kastner C=
up Trophy Winner, the field is wide open for race podium finishes without th=
e 250k or TR8's running.&nbsp; I think its stacking up to be an outstanding w=
eekend with lots of track time and unknown race results. <o:p></o:p></span><=
