[Dolan, James J]

Gentlemen and Ladies of FOT,

Thank you for the introduction, recommendation and second of my participation
in FOT.

I have been a long time Triumph owner and fan, beginning back to my college
days in the early 70's with a fascination with Bob Tullius' Group 44 clean
white machines.

I have owned TR6 and TR8 road cars. I currently have Harvey Thompson's 69 GT6
SCCA car, the 1971 Group 44 GT6, and recently acquired Kas Kastner's 1972
GT6.

My sons vintage race with me and the plan is to run the Kastner and Fuerstenau
cars against each other in SVRA and VRG vintage events.

We ran Kas's GT6 last weekend at the SVRA Brickyard event in Group 8. Our
first outing with the car. It was a pleasure - balanced, quick, and powerful.
Bottom and inside of car are fully restored, body appears to be in original
Kastner Brophy paint - chipped, crazed and full of patina. Lots of people knew
the car and came up to talk.

Next event will be at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix in mid July, both at
PIT International Race and Schenley Park street course.

Please stop by our trailer and have a "pint".

Jim Dolan - a "newbie"

I have a Triumph man that I think will enjoy both our company and efforts but
maybe also supply us with some intersting stuff.  It is James J. Dolan.  Jim
has a couple of significant Triumphs.  He has the original restored Group 44
GT-6 and also, no hear this, my original Kastner Brophy Racing  1972 GT-6 in
the original paint and still racing.  He just ran it at the Indy event.
Can we have a second here please?

Indeed!
