Amici...

In about an hour, the Beady Eye VINTAGE TRIUMPH Racing Team (in all its 
glory) leaves for Road America and the XXIII version of VSCDA's Elkhart Lake 
Vintage Festival.  We've been at all of them.

A second Pace Lap has been added to the Race Group 2 Feature Race on Sunday 
morning.  The first Pace Lap will be run as a Tribute and Memorial to Uncle 
Jack Drews.  It will be our version of a 'Missing Man' lap.  On the first lap, 
the Pace Car will slow coming out of Canada Corner to collect the field.  The #3 
post position (and all others behind in that row) will drop back one row, 
leaving the #3 post position (driver's right, second row) vacant.  The Pace Car 
will maintain a 50 mph (+/-) pace up the front straight and past the flag 
bridge with that #3 post position spot vacant.    When the field gets to Turn ONE, 
they will spread out again and complete a traditional Pace Lap and the start 
of the race.

While we (the FOT) would probably lobby to hold the #1 position vacant to 
honor Uncle Jack (he certainly deserves that), a majority felt holding the #3 
position open will be more visually effective.  Regardless, I hope it goes well 
and we'll do it to honor Jack Drews.
