Would be really great if we could kind of commandeer the first practice session Friday for a relatively slow couple lap drive around so we could get the line.  all I have read indicates this is fairly tricky, technical track with lots of room to screw up and very little runoff.  Bill Babcock must have been terribly lucky when the steering wheel for his "Peyote special] tube frame TR3 came off in hois hands a few years back.

Of course, the most supportive FoT and Kastner Cup attendee, Tony Drews will be there too.  At least 12 TR4s are expected.  Steve Belfer, Barry Munson and I will race our TR3s and Dave Nelson will be there with his really sweet LeMans replica '55 TR2.  Six Spitfires are on my list too.
>> I am maintaining a list of around 40 potential Kastner Cup entrants.  It's going to be a fantastic group of racers.

>> CSRG wants to highlight the Kastner Cup entrants by stationing our race cars opposite the garages as they usually do for honored race groups.

>> Please get your registrations in.  You can do so at, csrg.motorsportreg.com  CSRG has a generous registration fee refund policy, in case anyone is wondering.  Full refund before 2 weeks of the event and they charge $50 to cancel within 2 weeks.  These details are stated in the online registration form.
>>
>> I would recommend downloading a copy of the CSRG pre-tech form and make sure all the boxes get a check.  It's fairly basic.  
>>
>> CSRG has changed their helmet rule to follow the lead of other vintage race organizations as well as SCCA in extending the use of 2005 snell rating through 2016.  
>>
>> For those who plan on staying at the host hotel, the Inn Marin, please get your reservations in.  We'd like to let our enthusiastic local Triumph car clubs and supporters fill the rooms that racers and crew won't be needing.  http://innmarin.com/   The online booking code is KCUP.
