I'll be there with Peyote. I'd love to join the other Triumphs, but I
suspect an insufficient number of WPTA people have had recent tetanus
shots, so I'll just stick to the pits. Diane will have her Bentley
though--it's being stored in Pittsburg while we're doing this All
Aluminum tour thing. We should get her to wear her chauffeur hat and
drive us around.

Fellow Triumph Enthusiasts:

Wow a lot of discussion these past few weeks about events associated
with our cars and what's happening throughout Pennsylvania in early
July. I'd like to plug the early part of these events for those of you
interested in participating in the TRF Summer Party prior to VTR.
Charles has written about his Summer Party Plans which include one of
the premier if not the most unique Vintage Sports Car Races being held
for it's 25th year.

It's the PVGP or the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, Here is a link to an
article in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and a link to the PVGP Web page
too.

There is no cost for viewing this event but parking is not easy either.
There is a simple solution for that too and it's the 27th annual Western
Pennsylvania Triumph Association's British Car Day held on the Schenley
Park Golf Course overlooking the race track which winds it's way through
the park roads and adjoining city streets of the Oakland section of
Pittsburgh. Oakland is where the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie
Mellon University are located. For the entrance fee of $20.00 you get to
park your British Car
(only) among the other BCD Entrants which in the past have totaled close
to 400 cars. In addition to the races and BCD there are several other
special marque car shows both domestic and foreign. It's an overdose of
the motoring hobby.


Here is a link to the registration form and more information about
WPTA's BCD.

If you are planning to participate in the TRF Summer Party this is the
main Saturday event and it's one you don't want to miss. I encourage you
to register for BCD using the above link to the WPTA. You can register
the day of the show but it will cost a little more and may result in a
delay entering the show field. The fees are donated to the Charities of
the PVGP and you can read all about them on the PVGP web site.

I invite and hope to see many of you there.

Regards to all.

PS if the links don't work for some reason write to me and I'll send
them to you on an individual basis.
