Thank you for allowing me to join the group. A little history, back in the early 2000s we attended Watkins Glen for the vintage festival for many years as spectators. In 2004 I said I think we can do this racing thing 😉As I was a Triumph enthusiast and was a Toronto Triumph club coordinator what better vehicle to race than a TR6. At this point I had owned about 20 TR6s which I found in Ontario and purchased so I could move them to new owners to restore. A little research directed me to a built racecar in Alabama. The gentleman racer had passed, and his wife sold me the car. This car was a blue color #18 with triple Weber’s and much work done to make it VARAC ready. After many years of racing this car, it was sold and moved to California. I would like to know if it is still around. I then began racing a BMW E30 M3 great car but expensive to repair. I did well but my passion has always been “TRIUMPH”. Covid happened and all things racing slowed down, the BMW went into storage and the wheels started turning if you know what I mean. Hmmm, lets look for a Triumph again!! I was at the Toronto Triumph club British car day when I was approached by a gentleman who stated he did have a TR4a that he raced from new 1966 until 1976 and then stored the car in his family barn for 50 years. He lived and worked on the west and east coast and the car was set to D production specks. This person worked with Kas and Tullius to set up his car attending both of their facilities. This D production racer and his wife have won many many awards and trophies. I have some of them and many slides to prove this. Although Kas did not sign the car his work is all over it. I have been out to the VARAC vintage festival and now out to a second venue in Shannonville Ontario. Shaking the dust bunnies from me and the car, the adrenaline rush is as strong as ever and I can see a wonderful future for us. 😊 I would like to send a heartfelt thanks to Mike Deweerd for helping get this racing thing going again. See you racers at the Green Flag and looking forward to the Kastner Cup in 2026.
