[Fot] 2002 All Triumph Video Posted

[Jerry Van Vlack]

There were many memories made by the event but the overnight rebuild of the TR5 which I believe included some frame straightening was the most memorable.

That was fun, thanks Bob.  After pulling an all-nighter to get Chris's car back on track,
I still remember how gratifying it felt to see him do so well.  It was worth it all.

Thanks,
John

Hi,

Long story short: I had some issues getting this video processed, but I finally got it all sorted out and posted it you U toob:

2002 Mid Ohio Triumph

New England Triumphs caravaned to Mid-Ohio to help Rich Bolton and his newly acquired TR3 (formerly John Harness' car) - when I got to the track, I realized that I had left my bag of film at home. Rich came through and handed me a box of fresh Kodachrome with the instruction: get some good shots. I got a lot of good shots that weekend, but for the All Triumph feature I decided that catching cars coming through the esses would be fun. About half-way through the race, I put the Canon T70 down to shoot some video. I got the video posted here. When I picked up the camera to blow off the last couple of frames, the camera had died. I was amazed that it worked then just died with no warning. I tried shooting film for about a year after that, but the event led to my adopting digital cameras.

In any case, I got around 100 film images from that weekend and I've scanned a few, but I thought the greater FOT might like to sea AND HEAR the cars - and see Chris Petch's (sp?) miraculous "comeback" for the feature.

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND THAT WAS!

c ya,
Bob Lang
