[Fot] Look who showed up at VIR this past weekend!

[yellow04]

Former west coaster, Kastner Cup winner, and well known small chassis
Triumph racer Chuck Gee surprised us all by showing up in the paddock at
the Wild Hare Run, the VDCA event at VIR that kicks off the racing
season for so many of us from the northeast. Great to see you Chuck! 

What a fabulous weekend, moderately cool temps and bright sun made for
superb racing conditions. A couple Triumph racers showed up for the
first time for the Wild Hare, we were graced by the presence of Jerry
Barker and his Herald, plus Team Sukey came with the Spitfire and GT6.
All the regulars came and ran well, but the next time you see John Hasty
be sure to ask him about losing his brakes for turn one! By the time we
saw him, he had changed his shorts and most of the color came back to
him, but it sounded like a scary ride for sure! Thankfully VIR installed
a gravel trap that saved him from the tire wall, so the TR3 was
unscathed. From the preliminary report is sounds like it was a Carbotech
brake pad failure, hmmm.
