Our usual event reporter, Steve Smith, wasn't in attendance, so I will  
volunteer this recap of a great weekend of racing on the Left Coast. An XLarge  
turnout of Triumphs:
 
TR3: Joe Dickerson, Steve Belfer
TR4: Paul Smock, John Frymark, Mike Bruner, Ken Knight
TR6: Edwin Soto
Spits: Chuck Gee, Alan Weins, Jerry Alford, Alan Mitzutani, Joe Siam, Gary  
Shuman, Steve Barth, Dale Crane, (I'm sure there were more...)
Herald: Jerry Barker, 1 other in a beautiful red convertible  (Cleary?)
 
Highlights:
- Sprite/Triumph Challenge Race (the MG guys have given up and race the  
Minis now) top 10 finishers were 2nd (Gee), 3rd (Barker), 4th  (Frymark), 6th 
(Shuman), and 7th (Bruner)
- Alan Weins turned a smokin' lap in 2:10 during the Sunday Flag  race
- Steve Belfer had a trouble-free first outing in his pretty TR3
- Nameless Triumph drivers butchered "Superfreak" during Karaoke
- Good turnout of pre-War racers and Brit car club attendees
 
Lowlight: 2 Italian cars turned turtle in separate racing incidences on  
Sunday . Drivers were unhurt thankfully.
