[Fot] free entry into the Triumph race at the Glen?

[Jerry Van Vlack]

I suggest a racer take the lead and get SVRA to publish to FOT the complete deal, if any hidden costs, committed track time and time of day for all Triumph racers and any other salient information. Also suggest that they extend the invite to all FOT racers, there may be some who have never raced a SVRA event or never a WG event who would like to do so. 

Since Triumph is the featured marque in 2019 for the in town events SVRA must want to piggy back on that and that makes sense.

Since Triumph is the downtown feature marque and I’m not a racer I’ll be doing WG in September. Triumphs have always been very visible in the downtown event year over year and it’s nice they are recognizing that. I know many of the WPTA faithful will be too.

All we need is Bob Tullius as the Grand Marshall.

  Hi Gang, i'm planning on attending; it's a fun weekend, although you can get more track time at a some  of the smaller races. Like VRG events.

  However, if you go to this race, be sure to sign up for the Friday evening re-enactment. It's a blast. And it is Watkins Glen. You might encounter some famous, or semi-famous, folks there. Like B S Levy. I manned his bookselling tent for a few minutes while he hit the portajohn. But I digress!

  I did have a nice chat with Boris Said last September. Interesting guy.

  You probably won't be sorry if you go.


  Cheers, Bill

    I received this from SVRA today. They're not my normal race group but this seems like a good deal. Anyone else going?

    Please accept this personal invitation to bring your
    1963 Triumph Spitfire
    to the Triumph Reunion at our 2019 US Vintage Grand Prix
    which includes FREE ENTRY*


    Dear Mike Harmuth,

    I am excited to tell you about a brand new program that is being launched for SVRA’s 2019 race season. Since acquiring SVRA, it has been my goal to fund SVRA through sponsorships and engaging spectators, not just by the entry fees paid by our racers. This year we are taking a big step with the launch of our Reunion Program.

    At each of our SVRA events, we will host a Featured Marque or Featured Group. All hosted participants will receive special event entitlements including, “Free Entry” into the Sprint race. Each hosted entrant will run two sessions on Friday and Saturday with their normal SVRA run group and a Sunday 30 minute Reunion Race and Fan Walk. Each feature entrant will receive a Reunion Group photo and Hero Cards to pass out to kids so they can collect them and learn about your car. The Feature Marque/Group will also be highlighted in the event program and on the poster. We really are serious about you being the featured show for our spectators.

    For the US Vintage Grand Prix, we are hosting an Triumph Reunion. Please click the link below to enter the race. You will be responsible for the optional activities like; the test day, enduro and dinner tickets. The Sprint race will cost $100 but we will issue a $100* dollar check to each entrant that takes the green flag in Sunday's Triumph Reunion race. This is a first step at being able to offer free entry to our featured groups. It's my hope that someday, SVRA will be able to offer free entry to several race groups on the same weekend.
