[Fot] Search for my old TR3 racer

[Gary Schneider]

Scott, Art,
Sadly no one has valued the Midwestern Council history enough to scan and 
publish the archives. Bill Martin (near O'Hare) and club historian Jack Bowling 
(Milwaukee) have extensive collections of the old Klaxons and MC Annuals but it 
would be time-consuming to page through them.

I might suggest Eric Sandsnes for a call. His dad Sandy raced a TR3 prepared to 
grenade levels back in the day and Eric grew up at the track, I think still has 
the car. He hasn't been a club member for a couple years but the last info I had 
was 608-837-0265, esandsnes_mcscc at msn.com.

Jag estimate is $20K, not quite totalled but the trucker's insurance has 
accepted responsibility. Gretchen's driving the automatic for a few days, 
shifting the MINI was a little uncomfortable when stiff and sore. Almost a month 
to recover before the next race, race belts on a bruised shoulder would hurt!

Gary

Hi Gary,

Do you know if there's on-line access to the Council Annuals from the
early 70s and onward?  Can't seem to locate anything.

How's Gretch?  And how's the jag?  Totaled?  (The jag, I mean; Gretchen
is clearly not totaled.  Still some value there, even with the dings)

my most recent pic shows a number one.  It was silver and flat black
then, but I don't know what number was on it further down the line.

Do you recall what number was on the car when it was race here?

No I don't.   I would expect SCCA  or Midwest Council.

I am getting real close on a storage place where the
GT6 would fit.    Should be able to move on it early July.
Where is the car located?

Do you know which clubs it was raced with after it went to Fond du Lac?

The welcoming into our fold of another TR3 racer has caused me to
confront a long neglected duty:  To find my old race car.

When I last saw my TR3 it was in all black with red interior at a
drivers school at Blackhawk Farms in b 74 or b75 I think.

The car changed hands a few times and the last I heard,  it was in the
Fond u lac area of Wisconsin.

It had two rather unique features.  The roll bar was actually two tubes,
both behind the driver, rather tall for the era, and welded together.
The blegsb splayed out at the bottom fore and aft before being welded
to plates on the frame.  There were also the usual fore and aft and
lateral additional tubes.
The front shroud was split so that the top half could be easily removed
without dealing with the lower half,  thus easing certain service
chores.

Does anyone remember this car or have any idea where I could pick up a
lead on its
fate?   My old friend who did so much to help me build it has been
urging me
to
try to find and reacquire it for some time and now is the time.

Thanks everyone for the help.
