<b>Subject:</b> [Fot] Nomination for Robert Johns Triumph Factory Driver 1957
Sebring<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Venerable FOT List, <br>
<br>
I have a worthy nomination. <br>
<br>
Robert Johns made his mark on the Triumph scene in the 50s. He made a
significant mark and then disappeared. <br>
<br>
He drew enough attention to himself that he became a Factory Driver at the 12
Hours of Sebring in 1957. He was co-driver with Mike Rothschild. (Mordy's
Father-In-Law) <br>
<br>
He spent some time and gained experience overseas at venues such as the
Nurburgring. Robert submitted a short resume to the Committe at the Glen.
Perhaps he will share some of that with us on this list, as his introduction. <br>
<br>
He will be featured with The Legends Speak in the Glen, with Kas, Ed, &
John. Bob will also be spending time with us in the Triumph Paddock. I believe
he will be bringing some memorabilia from the 50s, which we will all enjoy
seeing and discussing. <br>
<br>
Robert disappeared from the racing scene in the late 50s. He turned his efforts
to college, career and family. (Ford Motor Company) <br>
<br>
Now retired, he has now has returned to be with us. We are glad he is
back. He will add much to the 'Friends'. <br>
<br>
Now, please, speak up with supporting 2nd. <br>
<br>
Thank you, <br>
<br>
Joe Alexander </span><o:p></o:p></p>
