[Fot] Spitfire Drivers: Spitfire History @ Watkins Glen

[Group44TR7 at aol.com]

The first of many, many  Spitfire victories in SCCA National races happened 
at Watkins Glen. The victory  was by Erwin "Ernie" Lorincz. Lorincz was a 
independent grassroots racer who  followed up that victory with others (VIR) to 
gain the regional SCCA  championship. 
 
        Considering that he was  going against the factory back efforts of 
Group 44, he must have been a very  talented driver. From time to time, he was 
mentioned in the TOA newsletter.  Apparent stopped racing Triumphs soon after 
selling Spitfire to Doc Hickman. 
 
        Not been able to find any  photographs of the event. Hoping that the 
museum at the Glen might have some in  its archives. Has anyone used the 
museum ?
