[Fot] Get ready for the Kastner Cup at Lime Rock!

[yellow04]

Mike H. is spot on, we are looking in the vicinity of 40 cars as the max
number for the Kastner Cup run group. Keep in mind that Triumphs that do
not run vintage legal tires will run with a more appropriate run group
all weekend, but then will run the Kastner Cup race with the rest of us.
I wish I could say I was concerned about having too many Triumphs on
track for the Monday afternoon KCup race, but attrition always rears its
ugly head and we do not expect to have an issue with car counts! 

Also, if need be we will move cars on extreme ends of the time sheet to
more appropriate groups.
