[Fot] Nomination - Ambro racer

[Don TR]

This may be of interest.  I took 6 or 8 photos of Bill Ames in 1996 with his
green and yellow Ambro at Mt. Tremblant which I forwarded to the FOT site. I
just checked the Ambro photos on FOT and cannot find them.  If they are of
interest to anyone, I can re-send these photos for the FOT "Specials" photo
section.

I'm really excited to be writing to nominate Vic Schuster to the FOT.  Vic
is a good friend and I am usually paddocked next to him and his immaculately
prepared red and grey Lotus Seven.  However, Vic has joined the Triumph
ranks, buying a real deal Ambro, the second or third body and chassis
constructed/prepared by Bill Ames, sold to a customer, and re-purchased by
Ames and resurrected in the early 1990s (Vic, correct me if I don't have the
history right).  Bill's son Robert prepped the car and vintage raced it for
some time, eventually selling it to Bob Seidel, from whom Vic acquired the
car last week.  Rich Rock took care of the car for several years for Bob,
and built the current engine.

 

Vic does his own mechanical work and is eager to join our ranks and
resources.  I was in Vic's garage last night, and the car is ready to race,
though it will benefit from Vic's adjustments and clean-ups in the future.
Vic expects to have it out at the VRG event in Millville, NJ in September. 

 

Do I have a second?
