[Fot] Triumphs killing it at Blackhawk Farms

[Brian Garcia]

Jason is being modest in failing to mention that his GT6 ran like clockwork all weekend and netted him not only his fastest lap time to date in the #27 car at Blackhawk but also the first time he has beaten a local Alpha hot shoe that has been one of the local fast guys for decades.  Great to see a trouble free and competitive weekend for Friendly Ghost Racing.
