[6pack] Triumph Travelers Autocross May 8, 2010

[Andrew Packard]

Hi listers:
I posted this notice on the forums, but wanted to make sure I hit the  
listers, too.

Triumph Travelers in the SF Bay Area, will be hosting "Brutes and  
Beauts: Vintage Autocross and Car Gathering" on Saturday, May 8, at  
Great America Theme Park in Santa Clara, CA.  The event is a non- 
competitive event for cars 25 years old and older and is targeted at  
those novice or first time autocrossers to come out to an event that's  
more about getting your cars out and running than the pure competition  
of an autocross.  Triumph Travelers has committed to being the sole  
workers for the event to allow participants to have a Car Gathering in  
the corral to check out all the other cars that attend.  The event is  
being sanctioned by Triumph Travelers, but we have a casual  
partnership with the San Francisco SCCA who is lending us their  
equipment and three volunteers to help with the planning and  
execution.  If you're in the Bay Area, please come join us.  It will  
be $35 each for 4-5 runs, depending on how many participants we have.   
Triumph Travelers who are driving can do it for $25 per driver.

This will be our first of a hopefully inaugural event that brings  
Triumph Travelers back to its roots in the sixties when we regularly  
hosted autocrosses, rallies and hill climbs.  We host Triumphest every  
five years, but don't have any other annual large event like many  
other clubs.  If this catches on, it could perhaps become a multi- 
event series each year and a great way for TTSCC to connect with the  
car community and earn some money for some more ambitious plans in the  
club.

Email me if anyone has questions.  We'll be sure to have plenty of  
photos and try and get an article published in either 6pack or The  
Vintage Triumph.
