[Fot] The infamous 1992 event at Mid-Ohio

[Bob Kramer]

I missed the 1992 Mid Ohio event, even though my current TR4 did not.
Although I've had a TR6 since 1977, I didn't get involved with any clubs
until the 1989 VTR National was held in Texas.  I wasn't able to go to the
National, but the knowledge that there was a chapter in Houston, DFW and
San Antonio gave me the impetus to get the Hill Country Triumph Cub
started.

The club started fast and we met many like minded people at the Texas
Regional in New Braunfels in 1990.  I started autocrossing the TR6 and the
wick was lit.  In 1991 we towed my daily driver (3 kids) TR6 to Savannah GA
for the VTR National.  The host club GTA arranged for the autocross event
to be held at Roebling Road. I had fun doing the autocross but the real fun
happened on the way back to the front straight to line up again.

Triumph race cars were everywhere because the event included what I
remember as a race car onlySolo track event over the weekend. As a TR6
guy I spent some time talking to JK Jackson who had brought along a
troupe of TR6 racers. It was a long time ago but I think Bill Dentinger was
there, and Glen Efinger, and probably a lot more FoT than I knew. That
event served to get the candle kept burning for me.
