FOT,

Back in the USA.....crossed border last night.

Based on comments I have received, The Triumph (FOT) is very popular group at the Glen.  There was a lot of participation from the FOT on all fronts, as well as VTR & TRA.  Good feedback from the Village and The Glen. 

Expect another invitation in the future.  If an objective was to elevate the status of our Triumphs, we did it in a resounding way.

SVRA caused it to happen by initiating the idea...likely mostly Jack Woehrle. 

So many people to thank....

Start planning for 2012, it will be a big one.  The 60th Anniversary of Triumphs in Competition.

I spent Friday in town and watched the different groups of cars begin their laps of the original course on Franklin St. The first group started around 1:00, it was an all Triumph group. There was at least eighty street cars in the group.
