<BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px"> The first of many, many Spitfire victories in SCCA National races happened at Watkins Glen. The victory was by Erwin "Ernie" Lorincz. Lorincz was a independent grassroots racer who followed up that victory with others (VIR) to gain the regional SCCA championship.
<BR>
<BR> Considering that he was going against the factory back efforts of Group 44, he must have been a very talented driver. From time to time, he was mentioned in the TOA newsletter. Apparent stopped racing Triumphs soon after selling Spitfire to Doc Hickman.
<BR>
<BR> Not been able to find any photographs of the event. Hoping that the museum at the Glen might have some in its archives. Has anyone used the museum ?
