[Fot] TRIUMPH triumphs...

[John Styduhar]

Yes, a good TR representation including several racing Spitfires and a
small contingent of Western PA Triumph Assc. members as well.  But the only
"good" day of racing for me was Friday when the track was dry.   Rain all
day Saturday and the event cancelled Sunday due to the weather.  There was
some discussion about staging a TR/MG challenge in conjuction with this VRG
event similar to the Formula Ford/Formula V races during the weekend.
