[Fot] Sebring Triumph Reunion: A Celebration of Our Sebring History

[Jack Woehrle]

Hi Joe, et al,

Please excuse this late response to the planned Triumph Celebration at the 2017 12 Hours of Sebring.

The 12 Hour is under new control by IMSA and NASCAR. As such, they have informed us (HSR) that there will be no on-track Vintage/Historic activities.

The display Gallery will still be open and available for ex-Sebring cars. Mike Swaine is in charge of this (mike at heartlandlaw.com<mailto:mike at heartlandlaw.com>) and he is copied here and has been following this email saga.

HSR has just inked an agreement with Sebring to hold a stand alone full vintage/historic event February 17, 18, 19, preceding the March 12 Hour date. There are also several other vintage events nearby between these two dates that are suitable for the FOT folks.

We are sorry for this late breaking news.

I’m sure you will all need to rethink the plans and pretty much decide where to go from here.

Let me know what I can do to help.

Regrets,

Jack Woehrle

I'm a little confused about which Sebring 12 Hours we are talking about. From what I've seen on the internet, HSR is putting on the Sebring Historics which is from Nov. 30-Dec. 4, 2016.  The contemporary 12 Hours of Sebring is in mid March 2017.
So which one will the TRs be at?

There are no designated project people leading the charge on this. Hopefully, the FOT attending will share information and provide support to each other.

It is quite possible that the original drivers will attend along with Kas and Peg. I am hoping that the current car owners will extend those invitations to Bob Tullius, Ed Diehl, and Bob Johns.
