[Fot] next year - Group 44 Reunion

[Kramer, Robert]

I'll give a loud amen on this event. The Group 44 Reunion, the Mitty,  the great hospitality of our hosts from Classic Motorsports, the large field of Triumphs in the east and southeast that will attend and, for me at least, being able to hold it to a week away from work makes it a no-brainer. As appealing as the Sovern event sounds, and as much as I would want to be there and race with the left coast TR's, the tow to Portland is a long one and I would have to agree with Gary that I doubt I can make it. I did buy a ticket to the 102 million dollar Tennessee Lottery on the way home from the Glen. Maybe I can fund the trip for everybody. I'd better check those numbers.

        Sounds like you have done a lot of work to create a very unique event that truly deserves top billing in the 2009 Triumph race calendar. If there has been an organized Group 44 reunion in the last decade, I am not aware of it.

        My challenge has been and will likely continue to be scheduling. When is Mitty 2009 ?

Portland sounds nice and I understand that the event needs to go west some. But Portland is a long, long way from Florida and probably 3/4 of our membership. Please remember, as you discuss next year, that I have formally invited eveyone to the Mitty, am willing to sponsor the event there (or at least an eastcoast version of the event) and have organized a Group 44 Reunion. I have talked to Joe about this as well. I have already gotten commitments from probably ten Group 44 cars, have now added at least one Kastner/Brophy car (and am looking for more) to make the game even more fun and have a beautiful poster in the works. We have invited Bob Tullius to be the grand marshall and Lany has already told us he will come. Several other original Group 44 team members have agreed to come and I will have the Group 44 GT6 there to run for the first time since the early seventies. The beer party is covered, as is the dart tournament. Jack Woerhle was great to us in 05, and we will have our own race again in 08. The date is the first weekend in May.

Can I get an amen on this idea?
