[Fot] FOT Nominations and TV Show News

[John Nikas]

Gentlemen:

Item 1:  There is a TV show on the HD Theater Channel (I have Cox Cable but
believe that it is on most cable systems) called Classic Car Club on this
Thursday at 1130 hours.  The program description states that the Triumph TR4
will be featured.  I have not seen the show but anything with a TR cannot be
all bad.

Item 2:  Although I am grateful at my recent nomination and entrance into
this fine community I am somewhat chagrined that my partner (car not life)
was not nominated at the same time.  Like Laurel without Hardy or the Hall
of Fame induction of Bobby Doerr before Joe Gordon, Alec MacArthur should be
here too.  Mac is a homicide detective (albeit a very poor one who
classifies most deaths as a suicide rather than properly identify them a la
Columbo or Quincy) who drives a street TR3A (restored by his Uncle) and
races with me in a TR4 and Spitfire,  Although he has recently displayed
Dunst like reliability (three disabled engines in seven races) he is a fine
man, good friend, and will make a fine addition.

Item 3:  Rick Shea is somewhat aloof and distant but has displayed
extraordinary success (winning his class last year) in a rented Triumph
Spitfire. He competed with Alan Mizutani, Mac and myself last year in the 24
Hours of LeMons in a TR7 and manages to get by on a fixed income while still
trying to race.  He is close with Val, Jerry Davis and Alan Mizutani and
although not as good a guy as any of them will nonetheless be a fine
addition.

Would any one of the following (Messrs. Otts, Vaden, Ascencio, Davis and
Smock) second these?
