[Fot] Racing with the Big Wigs At RA Weathertech

[Jason Ostrowski]

Most of you know that our Midwest extravaganza of Vintage Racing happens at
Road America in Mid July.
Brian Redmond, Weathertech  Love it or Hate it...
The Event is spectacular, rich and full of all the hoop-la that is beyond
our small Triumph minds.
This year was no exception and most of the Triumphs that showed up to the
Marque massacre looked good and performed descent but only to about mid
pack.
Frankly, regardless of whatever excuse I'd like to come up with: Elva,
Porsche, Alfa, Datsun, MG And Austin Healey had us beat in both of the
vintage production groups.
Tech was pretty tough.
Lots of scrutinizing, that caused some a second trip to tech or a note in
the log log book about rule infractions.
I wasn't driving but had a blast crewing for all my big American car
teammates, and Dave and Alex Amys in 2 of our best Midwest Triumphs.
It was 4 days of racing Problems and Bliss.
 I have 2 Shout outs for our Guys who really brought something Awesome To
the BIG SHOW....
First Goes to my good friend Alex Amys.. A younger, prettier, faster
version of myself who has done everything right in the world of GT6 Racing
since the very beginning of his Triumph Quest.
Alex Brought out his new and improved GT6 for the first time in 2 years...
since being the innocent  victim of a bad oil spill; which caused a hard
nasty bang and  brush into the wall at the kink
 And Now, In its new debut; the car is totally awesome.
 Clean, trick, and a masterpiece of smart engineering!
I couldn't be more happy and proud to see him back on track; better, and
rebuilt to such a high standard....
A+ Alex Amys.

Second is (surprise) another killer GT6.
This car made its debut at the RA Kastner Cup in 2023 after a 4 year
scratch build.
Tom Reiss and Mike Gwizdek
2 years later, the car has benefited from practical development and earned
knowledge.
These guys have great mechanical minds and have built a  very sophisticated
and well thought car.
Once these fellows are able to accumulate data from their car and its
fantastic designs, their success will soon rapidly follow.
They are from the the Milwaukee Area
Color scheme is nice with Blue white and red #23
A+ Reidek Racing.

Our group ate and drank well.
