[Fot] Thank you FOT! My final Kastner Cup photos

[Shawn Frank]

Thank you for the kind messages and calls about the driver photo series
from the Kastner Cup 2026 at Mosport. My wife Tammy, son Ethyn, and I had
an amazing time hanging out with you all in Canada. Erich had a blast
assisting once again, his third Kastner Cup with Media Credentials
(Buttonwillow 2019, Lime Rock 2025, and now Mosport), and will be back once
again in 2027 to aim and shoot. The father/son team extraordinaire
consisting of Eric and Tim Langreder have sent some incredible shots, have
assisted with social media posts, and have been afflicted with a sickness
that we can all relate to, as well. I will be going through all of
their shots for inclusion in The Vintage Triumph Magazine, but I wanted to
finish my usual series of photos, per driver, multiple corners, multiple
angles before moving on to the magazine. What a team, what a race group,
what a track, what a race! Henry was right, Mosport is an amazing track,
speaking from a media point of view. We just made history! Well done FOT.
Great show!!!

I am extremely honored to have been awarded the Amici Triumph Award by my
Friends of Triumph. This is something I will cherish forever. From the
bottom of my heart, I thank you. This will be displayed with pride
with some amazing stories of incredible people tied to it, told to any who
will listen. Truly, thank you all so much!

My final photos are out on social media (low resolution) and Dropbox files
are shared to this email list with high resolution (printable) photos per
driver for everyone that ran, P1 through P30, aside from a beautiful TR8
that wrecked, sadly, and a TR7 with "added everything", so not a
Triumph-powered car. I got photos of both, but not a lot.

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a fly on the wall. I hope the
series wasn't too much. It was a lot of fun for me. Now to stuff a fraction
of it into The Vintage Triumph Magazine (www.vtr.org). My photo count was
21,000+ and Erich's was 9800+ and the reality is that I may use 35 or 40
photos in the magazine, but they will be the best ones in the bunch... :-)

Now you know why I like to at least share these photos to you all. I was
really happy to see some of my photos on your collector cards. At least
they are used. Please feel free to print and frame. You have my permission
for personal use.

If you have any problems downloading or printing your files, please let me
know.

OK, you've heard enough from me for a while. Thank you, everyone! See you
next year in Michigan!
