[Fot] rosebud racer by doug ross

Rose Bud is a very special TR3. Doug Ross was a very special person, too.  
I have a picture of Doug & and Rose Bud in my office. It is a panoramic view 
of the FOT at Mid-Ohio.

He joined us at mid-Ohio, not to race, but to be with the Triumph Folks. I 
invited him to stage Rose Bud with us for the panoramic picture.

He was exceptionally grateful. Later, I got a letter from him explaining 
why it was so important for him to be a part of the weekend and the picture. I 
spoke to him on the phone a few days before he died. He remained upbeat to 
the end, I believe.
