Photo of the car attached. OK, here's a car search for ya'll based in the US. I'm searching for a Triumph Spitfire that ran SCCA G/Production. It was raced by Bert Brown from approx 1973 - 1988, before being sold to Bill Williams, as pictured. It contested the SCCA Runoffs several times with Bert. The SCCA log book number was 19775. Bert raced it out of CA. Bill fitted the unique dashboard when he purchased the car, as per the photo. Any help in tracking down this car would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Madison, WI Green Bay, WI Appleton, WI Chicago. - About 2.5 hours depending on traffic. Will offer more flights, perhaps less airfare cost. Also may offer direct flights.

The set I ordered in 2021 for my personal gearbox took over 9 months to be shipped, then multiple other sets ordered in 2022 for customer gearboxes ended up being canceled after many months on order. I was able to determine that the manufacturer of these gear sets will not be making any more. Must not have been worth it for such a small volume. **WARNING, this now becomes a commercial message...** I've been working with a gear manufacturer on an alternative option. Not a direct copy, some details are being improved: *2nd/3rd/4th close ratio's for racing *1st gear ratio is "stock" to get moving with less stress on your clutch, and easier to drive at paddock speeds. * A "racing" gear design - they will be noisy. The first set has been produced and is on its way to me. I hope to put them through their paces over the coming months before moving forward with having further sets produced. Best case scenario if everything works out, is to have them available later this year, but it's way too early to put a date on it. Final price TBD, but they will be more expensive than the previous close ratio sets. Much less expensive than a dog box conversion. For planning purposes, I have started a list of those who are interested, please email me directly.

Bradakis has had a lifelong interest in British cars. After he bought his first Triumph, a GT6+, he got involved pretty heavily into the marque.? He was involved in the early days of The British Motor Club of Utah, putting out their monthly newsletter. He got involved in the Utah region of the SCCA, also editing their newsletter and serving a term as road race director.? An active autocrosser, he was instrumental in the Vintage Triumph Register?s Autocross Advisory Board, laying down the first real set of rules for the? national convention?s autocross event.? Mark ran Intermountain Vintage Racing for a few years, trying to bring road racing back into Utah. But Mark?s real claim to fame is Team Net.? In the 1980s there was USENET, which consisted of many different discussion groups covering a wide range of topics.? Not all of them were about computers.? There was a rec.autos subset of groups.? Sprung from the USENET groups was a British cars email list, run by Dale Cook.? It was taken over by Jim Muller, who handed the reins to Mark in the late 1980s. In April of 1991 autox.team.net hit the airwaves.? It started as two lists, autox and british-cars.? At the time it was the only game in town, becoming quite a success. Eventually it grew to over 70 different lists and sublists, as of this writing there are about 30 left.? As the internet grew, so did competition from many other specialty web sites, forums and such. But thousands of stalwart supporters of Team.Net remain, and Mark continues to keep the spirit alive, and the bits flowing freely.

The issue for a TR3 is the width you have available in the existing box that cuts into the firewall. I had to put the cylinders closer together to make sure they all fit into that existing space. It involves filing off some meat from the cylinder mounting flanges to get the center to center a little closer. Has worked well for me for the past 14 years. If I were starting over, I might just cut some additional material out of the firewall and rebuild that box so that I could use a more standard bore spacing.

The box closely mimics the factory unit and just fits in the firewall box. I had to shave the side of the clutch master a very small amount. I thought it would be very stiff if I added a downward element on the firewall that bolts through the wall and connects to the pedal box, so the assembly cannot flex the wall. Of course, I think it's better than anything I could buy. It was a fun project. I use all TR3 pedals and other factory bits. I think the TR6 duel master is worth considering if it can be adapted to the TR3 parts. If I remember correctly, Jeff Snooks TR3 uses a TR6 master, which I think fits in the factory box.

I took this photo at Watkins Glen in 2008 for inspiration and ideas when I was beginning my build. I'm not sure what master he uses. It does not look like TR6, but it is a duel unit that uses the TR3 box and seems to protrude further into the firewall box. This proves that it is possible to build something not too far outside of the standard TR3 setup and if it works for Jeff, it's well tested and performs as needed.

The below website was set up for me by Henry Frye and shows and lists details. The motorhome is in excellent condition and is great especially when weather is other than optimal on a race weekend. Having heat and air conditioning; hot shower and a full kitchen made even the most dismal event much better. It also gives options on long hauls to distant tracks where an overnight rest is essential. It has a Ford drivetrain with a V-10 and has no problem pulling a 24' fully loaded trailer(race car; ATV; tools; spares; canopy & poles; etc.) Reasonable offers considered Kawasaki 220 Bayou is in excellent condition. Reasonable offers considered There is also a 24'x24' shelter with all the 1" EMT and fittings available. This is large enough to cover two Triumphs as many of you have seen. It was also a shelter when we had the gatherings of TR folks during a race weekend. Silver tarp is showing some wear but still useable. Make offer. Basically beer money! https://triumphforsale.com/spitracer/ Above are located in Brooktondale NY. 40 minutes from Watkins Glen, situated about half way between Syracuse and Binghamton.
