My thanks to Mike Harmuth, who found for me the Entry List to the Kastner
Cup. 42 Triumphs! FORTY TWO!! I've never seen so many racing Triumphs
in one place! O! That it was forty eight, but maybe next year!
I've been looking at the entry list and will be grateful for some
explanation, which I need because I'm ignorant of the way US racing is
organised.
I think I've got the Groups and Classes sorted, thanks to the SVRA site,
but not two of the Groups - "NC" (95 Tony Drews' 1963 Triumph TR-4) and
"MP1" (11 Curt Johnston's 1979 Triumph TR7). What do they mean, please?
And I see three pairs of cars with the same number, including two, both
entered by Jerry Barker. Will Jerry have another driver for the second
car, who will bring his own number? And will the others agree for one to
add another digit for the race (see below)?
Because there are nine cars that have three digit numbers. We see this
in the UK in Sprint and Hill Climb events where two drivers share the same
car, and a "1" is easy to add or remove for the second driver so that the
timekeepers know who it is. But no UK circuit is allowed to have as many
as a hundred cars on track at once, let alone eight hundred! Why the high
numbers please?
Looking forward to this! Haven't seen pure Triumph racing since the
TSSC/TRR series folded, about fifteen years ago, except for Mark Field's
valiant single marque races at Mallory a fewer years gone by.
Bests
Stay well!
John
