[Ernest Husmann]

Thirteen Triumphs racing; nice weather, a great track, mass gather at the
Ghetto was tremendous as always; it just doesn't get any better.
 
It was nice to see more than one Spitfire racing at the same event.  Wherfe
are the rest of the vintage racing Triumphs???

We had another beautiful day for motor racing. Cloudless skies, low
humidity, high temp was around 80. After having 7 TRack sessions during the
previous 2 days, VDCA offered 3 more today, including an enduro. There was
some great racing in both the enduro and the feature race. However, a few of
the cars developed issues during the course of the day. Many of the issues
were overcome, and all the TR's that were expected to take the green in the
feature were there. And all finished except for 1. Both Spitfires ran the
enduro, but neither made the feature, as 1 had issues and the other had to
leave early enough to get home tonight, Monday is a work day. At the end of
the enduro, we were able to get 12 of the 13 cars in attendance together for
a group photo.

This was the first time that I was able to attend a VDCA event, and from my
vantage point, it was really top notch. As stated, there was a ton of track
time, I'm told the entry fee is very reasonable, and VIR is a first class
facility. There was a dinner Saturday night, the food was yummy and
plentiful, and the program took all of about 5-10 minutes. The TRiumph
ghetto is not to be missed. I'll be back next year.
